Let’s throw in that she has a masters degree in Chicano studies and her thesis was on Latina opportunity in STEM.

I am revolted by this. As a former Disney Cruise Line worker sometimes I had to rely on the condoms they freely gave us. I never had to use emergency contraceptives and was horrified when a taxi driver at our own port and told us he had made many runs that mornings to clinics that offered abortion.
Companies have to…

I’ll weigh in with, “We’ve been on a few and they’ve been fine.” We picked a cruise originally because we had younger kids and couldn’t really decide between a jam-packed getaway or a lay-around on the beach vacation A friend recommended a cruise and we ended up having a nice time. We’ve been on 2 more since then and…

For some reason I was googling last night articles about the working conditions on cruise ships. Even though many companies are headquartered in the U.S., because their ships are registered in other countries, it allows them to skirt labor law.

The most mistreated employees are the cleaning, culinary and maintenance…

As someone who did once have an intruder break into my home - while I was there and asleep - I can tell you from experience that there’s probably only a small chance a gun would really help you in that scenario. The criminal has all the advantage there - they know they’re breaking into your house way before you do,…

About half the scenarios listed actually happened to me.

I love them too even if they are super creepy. It’s fascinating to see how the hell they work and how did their makers know what to do to build them. It’s genius level stuff. Check this video out to see the inner workings of one.

Dowager Empress Cixi of China. She became an imperial concubine as a teenager, staged a coup at age 25, and then proceeded to effectively rule China behind a series of puppet-emperors through the Victorian Age. If that doesn’t deserve a TV show then I don’t know what.

So both of these people are insufferable, but it’s so weird that literally everything they didn’t like about her (lightness, distracting family) was positive and inspiring when he stepped up. I’d be mad too if I was her, but in less of a “why can’t I ever be good enough” way and in more of a “that’s some internalized…

OMG it’s like you just described my life.

I love that Kate is the one to take the official pictures. Kids of famous people deserve to simply be kids.

Rock it, sister! I give you my blessing. *waves Muslim fashion wand*

I don’t think most people who watched the series think Steven Avery is an upstanding human. Dude obviously was a creep and had some boundary issues with women. That doesn’t mean I’m okay with him being convicted for a crime it’s unclear if he committed.

JINGLE BITCH SCREWED ME OVER, GO TO HELL JINGLE WHORE

Me too! I wish there was a link to her blog, sounds like my kind of thing.

The dead end was frustrating, because, as a fat feminist, I was hungry to find out who the original poster could be so I could then eat them.

It’s almost as if, when you make a movie that is good and that has women and people of color in key roles, women and people of color will go see it and white men won’t be scared away either.

Oh, and I agree with her! I’ll always remember sitting down to watch A New Hope for the first time and being like, What? This is it? It’s a boring soap opera with occasional light sabers!

IKR?! It would almost be better if they didn't try.
