Oh okay see, I was actually really annoyed by his comment but can tell from your tone that I’m being an over-sensitive harpy bitch who is mos def. not cool like our Lord and Savior Bernie Sanders.

This isn’t nothing and it’s frustrating to have such a dismissive response about it from a blog that’s ostensibly feminist.

Man, one thing that's ALWAYS interesting is hearing the revelations people have when they're high.

Praise be to Dolly.

Communication tops all. My name is absurdly common in the US, so I never had any issue while speaking English, but it is absolutely butchered in every other language I speak, even though it’s a well known name.

She books smart but she PR dumb.

I love that fact that they are using Anne as on their posters!

This song will never get old.

I’m sorry LuluLemon, did you think you were irreplaceable?

What about Brock F***ing Samson?

You know...there is a part of me that gets the “once promising” thing. Not as a justification or something that was taken away from him. But as something he himself gave up by committing rape.
