I really appreciate your vocal solidarity. I know I’m going to catch hell for it. Been there with friends. Don’t care. This is something that I feel strongly about. There are more than just financial costs to consider. Dignity sold and bought, IMO.

But see, there is something HUGELY wrong with it. Did you read this article?

Boycott and let them know why.

Shut down this industry. It’s not necessary or good. It’s superfluous and harmful. Or do something like you should do for the cleaning industry, which is also notorious for robbing its employees. Hire them to come to your house and do it and pay them directly.

Is anyone really surprised and does anyone who use these services likely care? I’m about to get all holier-than-thou on mani-pedi ‘regulars’ and opine that the attitude that someone else should work on beautifying YOUR body because it’s somehow above you, makes me a little queasy. The whole feel of them (and I’ve only…

I’ve been curious about the apps themselves. As someone who was married before the online dating thing happened, I feel out of touch with my friends who are using these newfangled technologies for dating. I want to hear about their dating life, but they start talking about this stuff and I’m like, “Wait wait wait-…

Was waiting for the big reveal that he is the new Hamburglar :(

There are SO MANY THINGS we need to fix about this country!!!!! These numbskulls need to get their priorities in order. Or go be OB/GYNs if they’re so fascinated with uteri.

I like to “be the change I wish to see in the world” and cry in all of the rooms. Seriously, it’s not taboo to laugh or smile. Why should it be so taboo to cry when things are really really sad? I wish more people would just let it out. Anywhere and everywhere.

Recommending The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver if you are a fan of Kahlo.

I don’t think it’s old at all. Your comment makes me wonder how old you are. I think it’s common to surround ourselves with four walls to keep us “safe,” and to find that they become our own prisons.

Small children aren’t hurt by naked non-sexualized bodies either :) Let’s not teach them to be.

Agreed. That letter is ridiculous. I hope someone pants-es that lady.

Who cares?

My sex ed included a really interesting piece about oxytocin and how it is the “love chemical” and its release during sexual experiences help create a lasting bond between people. So be careful because you may not want that bond with some idiot you think you like now. It was really good information. (If only I had…

That’s good to know that there are exceptions. I didn’t realize how opposed I am to a curfew until this past week. I was voicing my alarm at the Joseph Kent arrest and was countered by “Good. He’s a troublemaker or he wouldn’t have been out past 10.” If it’s just an identifier like that, I reject it wholly as a means…

Can anyone try to explain to me the value of instituting a curfew?

So what are they going to name any more kids they have? This one has all the names.

Will not listen. Will not listen. Will not listen. Will not listen......

Yes yes. Drag it out. Highly recommend. I think after three years, I’ve finally ruined everyTHING that he left at my house, culminated in a gathering of all the clothes that he had given me over our relationship and calmy cutting through each one of them with sewing scissors. So therapeutic. Much less harmful than all…
