Over the past few summers, I’ve found that rather than wearing ‘less’ clothing, its been better to wear just...looser clothing. Follow what people who have spent centuries living in actual deserts do (bedouins!) - light colored, flowing, lightweight fabrics, that protect your skin from the sun.

yeah - there’s a larger societal conversation to be had about our over-incarcerated society and how we put more people in prison in this country than any other country on earth. But the only example Turner should be in that conversation is to point out the massive discrepancy between his sentence and the sentences of…

A few years ago I was wearing a cute, flimsy pair of sandals when it started torrential raining out of nowhere. My shoes became unwearable (my feet were basically sliding around to the point where I physically could not walk in them). I finally gave up and took them off, ran to the nearest bus stop, and boarded the…

I’m not even going to respond directly to the obvious troll stealing credit from women to give it to men, but even Deray doesn’t claim to have founded BLM. he co-founded campaign zero, which is a set of policy proposals that grew out of the BLM movement.

Deray did not create black lives matter.

Also, they were all working on the reporting and gathering sources for months beforehand - I can only imagine that the two stories were essentially feeding off of each other in terms of the number of women who eventually felt comfortable coming forward - some to Twohey and Kantor, and some to Farrow. It’s entirely…

OMG. every damn time I see/hear Apatow interviewed in connection with the #metoo events (because he’s all over the place for some reason), I yell at the tv/radio for someone (anyone!) to ask him about his and Seth Rogen’s trashing of Heigl, for having the nerve to say some TRUTHFUL SHIT about the fact that it was,…

Seriously - ALL he had to say was that he wasn’t authorized to discuss the situation. This is literally the guidance given to EVERYONE in my company who is not part of our communications department about everything, including boring crap.

I just bought two new coats at GAP (they were having a 40% off sale). One was a pink colored wool cocoon-shaped coat that is very cute, and the other was a more functional black quilted coat. I was thinking about getting a new puffer coat because my old one is about 10-years old, but I’m just tired of that whole…

Oh, do you think it was anything like every fucking time back in the dark ages when I went into a radio shack, knowing exactly what I needed, and getting a lecture from some teenager behind the counter about “was I really sure this thing I was buying was the right thing?”

This is something to remember the next time you (we all) do everything possible to get out of jury duty, leaving behind only retirees, less-than-fully-employed folks, and other folks who couldn’t figure out how to get out of service*

ICE views scaring victims of crimes who happen to be undocumented from testifying against perpetrators as a feature, not a bug, of the new system. The idea that these folks have anything resembling “rights” has always been anathema to a certain segment of law enforcement, and now they get to run roughshod over the…

Did I wear them with Docs?

Congratulations. You are now college me (circa 1995), who wore my carhart overalls until they could stand up and walk around on their own.

If memory serves, that’s basically how it played out in real life as well. Bobby Riggs WAS basically an over-the-hill joke, and Billie Jean was at the top of her game, but everyone still thought he’d kick her ass because, well, he was a he.

no - that’s the asshole out west who was literally caught in the act of raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, and then got a six month sentence because the judge didn’t want to ruin his life.

Yep. And can we all please remember which gender’s reproductive organs actually exist on the OUTSIDE of their bodies?

This. It’s also why the tax code does things like specifically have rules in place saying you have to declare income from the proceeds of crimes and pay taxes on them. Almost no one is going to actually declare such income. But when you get caught for committing the underlying crimes, the government has an extra…

I keep saying this to people whenever this topic comes up. Trump doesn’t make Bush a GOOD president in hindsight.

you’re lucky. my cat does almost the exact same thing. Except instead of resting her head on my shoulder, she sticks her ass in my face.
