I know this isn't the appropriate reaction but: I want to be photoshopped. Just once.

Actually, the MADD campaigns against drunk driving changed attitudes almost overnight and resulted in a dramatic reduction of drunk driving. Same with anti-littering ads, same with some anti-smoking campaigns. Apparently, many rapists don't realize that what they're doing is rape. So a campaign that targeted that…
R is for "rape stays with you for life?" What a fucked up untrue destructive mean message! "Hey this horrible thing that you never wanted to happen to you? You'll never get over it." I think Elizabeth Smart (and some other rape survivors I've known) would have a thing or two to say about that.
People pay big money for panties like that.
Can someone take pity on me and explain the iPhone/Walmart deals? On another site, I read that you need to sign a two-year contract. But with whom? The Walmart site lists some carriers, but I don't really get how you sign up. Can you do it online? Do you have to go to the store? This is the first time in my life I've…
I have three cool semi-I-hope-relevant breakup stories:
What's wrong with looking older? I'm sick of people talking about how certain "ages" look better than other ages.
I tried to give my friend a baby shower. I was thinking backyard bbq, everyone invited via evite. Her other friends took over to let me know what she *really* wanted — a women-only brunch with fancy custom-designed paper invitations that cost a fortune and that she could "scrapbook" later. After the fifth redesign of…
Laura, there are no vegan Christmas brownies in there. Just like last year!
My heart broke for you reading this. I'm so sorry you were subjected to that. Real sex ed would include a whole chapter on physician abuse so young girls could start calling them out on it.
Marry me.
Lunormal. Lunacy + normal.
Oh, now I see what you mean. When I try to imagine it playing out the same way, I just can't. Here's where I get stopped: I can't imagine the rapists broadcasting it like that. Posting about the girls seems all about trying to further humiliate their victims — to show off their power. If they'd raped boys, there's no…
I lust after your username. And I really do agree with you (and am just as outraged) about how the girl victims are treated.
IMHO, there's no way it would've been taken more seriously if young men were the victims. Rape culture works against male victims in slightly different, equally as horrific ways.
I think it was the legitimate kind.
For all those people who feel sorry for our salmon-melon-and-Coke hero: the thing that's wrong here is his long list of requirements, like he's buying a product or hiring for an assistant.
Art is not a hobby but somehow they can afford to raise kids in the suburbs of Tokyo? The most expensive city in the world for expatriates? This is the problem with people who stop building their dreams at age 12.
There were multiple deaths in my immediate family throughout my childhood and youth, so by the time I was grown I'd experienced way more than my share of funerals. I expected to be all judge-y toward these kids, but some of the hashtags and captions make it clear that they really are grieving and that this is their…
