A younger, nerdier Robert Downey Jr. and a totally *BRITISH* Rachel Bilson?

I think some people reach such a level of handsomeness that they go all the way back around into undesirable.

Between that and the bit about menstral cycles, I need to ask: um, guys, is there a part of making sushi where you shove it in your vagina? Because if so, I’ve been doing this all wrong.

I always avoid the 13th/14th century wings of art museums. Baby Jesuses with adult proportions freak me out.

My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

I would like to encourage you to explore therapy. I grew up amidst chaos and abuse which left me with a fundamental belief that I was unloveable. It was incredibly painful. It also lead me into an abusive relationship because I didn’t think I deserved better. And then miraculously I got into a really good, safe…

His tormented heart for the war he talked his way out of: “I’ve seen [Vietnam veterans’] broken bodies, know all about the horrors that live in their heads, and the enormous effects of trauma.”

Since I’m seeing red, I’ll have David Dennis of The Guardian explain:

1) Call an ambulance and the cops

My work look is just a little bit of black eyeliner (not too thick), and some mascara. I’m lucky in that I don’t need to wear foundation or concealer, but I find that a little bit of powder goes a long way to making me look more polished. Honestly, all it takes is a bit of practice with eyeliner and you can be done…

I cannot recommend this documentary (and pretty much every Frontline piece) enough:

It somehow feels even more tragic that she was believed by:

Having ancestry you didn’t know about? It’s not unusual.

TBH, I don’t even know why they continue to sell any variety of superglue in a bottle large enough to be mistaken for eye drops. I mean, unless you’re about to sit down and mend 4,673 broken coffee cup handles in a row, that shit’s gonna solidify into a hard little ethyl-cyanoacrylate nugget WAY before you come close…

UM, “could you be a peach” sounds SUPER condescending, and the choice to use it on DAY TWO of a new job with your BOSS is just ... that’s incredibly bad judgment.

I am going to take this opportunity to say that this gif reminds me that a toxic relationship I was in is over as of this week. It was more or less a mutual end but it was ugly, but once I read the last text and deleted the number and all the messages and it was done-done I jumped up in the air with my arms out and my…

My non-neurotypical son started pre-school this week. He licks random objects and is scared of public bathrooms. I had whipped myself up into a frenzy of anxiety about all of the things that could go wrong. When his teacher texted me a picture of him having his snack, laughing with some little friends he made, I broke…

We would get so much further if we could treat chemical dependence as the physical health problem that it is. Yes, it’s a moral failing to take pills or heroin or meth or whatever that first time, you suck, blah blah, but after that it would be great if people weren’t shamed out of seeking help.
