I pole dance and taught pole fitness and we joke about that all the time. Especially in the beginning, everyone is covered in bruises. I'd been teaching some move that caused a lot of bruising on my thighs and later went into the OB/gyn for my annual Girly Bits visit and she asked me in a very concerned voice, if I…

"I would date a Republican if he were exactly like Jack Donaghey in looks, wealth, and temperament."

Agreed. Wanting to marry an investment banker isn't the same thing as wanting to marry someone who pulls their own goddamned weight. Yes, I'm successful and career-oriented, but I don't have the kind of income by myself on which one could support two people and a baby. Which means my partner needs to work. Not work so…

One of my former profs said that her husband (another one of my profs) then-boyfriend while in grad schoo one tried to help her deal with burns she'd gotten from spilling things on her by helping her to the bathtub, where she proceeded to slip and smack her face on the side of the tub. She had a HUGE shiner and…

As a professional MUA, I've had to do a few cover-up jobs like this and it always breaks my heart. A couple women have asked me to teach them how to do it themselves so they don't have to involve anyone else the next time it happens. The *next* time—because they were already anticipating it.

Last year, my sis got the shit kicked out of her by her (thankfully now ex) bf and she had job interview to go to her and called me to help cover up her black eye. Thank fucking god for Bobbi Brown and MAC concealer. I had to mix a peach tone corrector to take out the blue, (that I have anyway bc I naturally have…

Here's the thing. Of course it was basic feminism 101 because so many people do not understand what feminism is at all. You need to have a strong foundation to build your work upon. This was the launch of the initiative. Action will come. Right now, this is the outline.

Emma Watson is an incredible human being and the smartest witch of her age. I completely agree with her outreach to men to help us achieve gender equality. Men are also negatively effected by the expectations of their gender and both men and women would be better off with equality.

Well, technically it would be Emma Watson for Prime Minister, yeah? Minister for Magic works too.

Goddammit. Pits are the most eager to please, loyal dogs. All they want to do is please their owners. Mine was also abused, she was very nervous around men. Now she's spoiled rotten.

So, you don't bank online, right? Or order anything online that requires both your credit card number and billing address? And you never give your birthday to sites that have some kind of age restriction. I assume not, because then you'd be a huge hypocrite, and you seem like you are probably actually an infallible…

My main thought when people comment that the celebrities shouldn't have taken the photos in the first place is "He who is without embarrassing photos cast the first iphone".

"I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide."

"... woman and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them."

A friend of mine recently got his high-end watch stolen out of his sock drawer when his house was broken into. Not a single person has asked him, "Why would you take the risk of storing something in a place that you thought to be secure [i.e. his own home] but turned out not to be??" This is the technological…

You're not necessarily "wrong" in the sense that anyone who stores any photo on the cloud is indeed at risk of possibly being hacked. We're all always at risk, all the time, whether it's uploading photos to the cloud or using a credit card or having any kind of online presence that includes personal information. Such…

Sure, it's fine and slightly obnoxious to give unsolicited advice to keep someone safe from predators, but the bottom line is that people shouldn't NEED to take any measures to not have their shit stolen/be victims of a crime.

yeah! Fuck people's right to privacy!

They probably didn't know. That's why we medical people are screened once a year. TB has an indolent, nonspecific prodrome. In lay terms, it's slow, and the symptoms aren't glaringly TB. That's why we are torn whenever someone is admitted with an undiagnosed lung lesion. Do we need to put them on full TB precautions,…

It doesn't sound like my kind of show but I'm STOKED that someone's making a show about Latinos for a change!
