He’s a horrible person but I feel sad for him.

Seth Meyers is really clearly trying to create a road to more visibility for several of his writers. I think he’s a great example of using power to help others and I respect that a lot.

Why thank you!

Yeah I doubt that I had some intentional act of benevolence bestowed on me, but I 100% relate to the degree of relief these folks gave people!

Right? There are girlfriends of my friends who are lovely people and I enjoy them in group settings, but would never go out of my way to spend time with solo. And we have a friend in common, so that’s a far closer degree of separation. If our common connection is the sibling of a person I fell in love with, there’s…

I still have no idea what happened, but someone or some entity did this for me a few years ago. I was uninsured, unemployed, and had very routine I-need-antibiotics-NOW situations of course in the middle of the night on two separate occasions. So I wound up with about $2k in ER bills that I couldn’t pay. I freaked and…

Oh man how embarrassing for the writer if so. I mean this is embarrassing either way, but specifically for them as a writer. “You’re so bad at satire that no one can tell you’re even writing bad satire.”

I wish I’d gotten to see the article before it was deleted because I also want to see what the move from Point A to Point B was? I’m a happy slut with a party streak and I’ve never woken up riding a horse into a wedding.

It’s not either/or. She is directly responsible for paying her staff, and she’s calling out the problems with that budget. That doesn’t mean other sectors shouldn’t get better pay, too.

Well, they seem goofy and super happy all the time — no opinion on their respective careers but it’s hard not to be like awww, y’all seem nice.

I am just a normal person with a normal life and if something reminds me of my ex who died by suicide, I just blurt it out. I have definitely made people’s evenings awkward. But you know what? He was a real person with real silly habits and inside jokes and all that, so if his ethos pops out of my mouth, that’s…

That makes so much sense and I understand why you’d feel that way. I do think though that any woman who’s gone through some kind of significant shift in attractiveness, whether from conventionally-attractive to not or the other way around, has an understanding of this issue that makes her quite qualified to discuss…

They already do; Whitaker said on camera that he believes judges with a biblical world view are more qualified. A head covering is not an affront to other religions, it is a deeply held personal belief. Personally I’m an atheist and I think it’s all likely nonsense, but I’m also humble enough to know that I might be…

Oh thank you for the tip!!

Such a good read on this topic from the fabulous Anne Helen Petersen!

WOW this person is talented. I saw the Formation tour and was blown away by the set design but just assumed it was because I never go to arena shows so I’m easy to impress. But looks like s/he’s just all around incredibly creative.

I read this whole thing thinking it was the other Michelle Williams and was like isn’t she best friends with Busy Philips? I had no idea you could have a super sex positive best friend and also be in this kind of relationship? Thanks google

A friend/colleague of mine have done a ton of international travel together for work and she has a life-threatening nut allergy. From experience I can say that because other countries have far lower rates of food allergies, people tend not to understand how serious it is (e.g. they assure us that there are no nuts,…

I will never forgive the attendant who caused me to lose my favorite jacket because she insisted my bag wouldn’t fit underneath the seat, even after I explained that I had flown with it many times before, it is very small and 100% fits under the seat because it’s fabric and full of mostly clothes so very squishable,…

I’ve actually wondered about this quite a bit — my mother is so allergic to cats that she can actually get a reaction from being in a home where the previous tenants once had cats. Cat + recycled air = a very sick mama bear. Not life threatening, but not negligible.
