Tangent, but I was recently at a social gathering where there was a Catholic priest who (after starting a conversation by asking me and boyfriend 'So are you two married yet?'—neither of us knew this dude) tried to get us to discuss and debate who was our favorite pope. Boyfriend who was raised Catholic could at least…

I tend to forget how conservative PA actually is because I live in a liberalish area and all my friends are liberals. But... PA produced Rick Santorum :(

I've only watched Teen Mom a few times when it was on the TV at the gym, but each episode I have seen always brought up contraception use and explained it decently, I can see it being educational for the thousands of teens in the country who receive abstinence-only or grossly misinformed sexed in schools. We have to…

If you like short fiction: anything by Lorrie Moore, anything by Alice Munro, Junot Diaz has a new collection (This is How You Lose Her), Nathan Englander's most recent (What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank), I just got George Saunders' latest but haven't read it yet, Karen Russell....

I loved the moment at that big pointless party when Mary and Edith talk about how they're all emotionally repressed, it's probably unhealthy and unanimously decide to continue repressing all their emotions.

They also had that textbook Nice Guy Jimmy part and I remember thinking, wow, this feels timely in that it's dealing with women's issues/crappy dude actions that are very much talked about today, but really it just means this same fucking shit has been going on for ages.

The back of this dress is everything I've ever dreamed of.

My friend in law school interned for a federal judge where she wrote 'opinions', aka, what he'll say in court. Presumably with some guidance but yeah, federal judge's opinions are technically the work of first year law students.

I lived in Spain for a while and was a bit pretentious about the fact that I used olive oil for everything and didn't have butter for months (my mom never let us have too much growing up anyway). Then I went on a trip to France, had delicious butter French food, went on a bender and I swear now I crave butter more…

Who cares (other than the fact that they are both naturally flawless) about Photoshop, I'm just way excited for this track.

I forget what movie I watched recently but I thought the same thing! It would seriously normalize abortion of occasionally a movie or tv character had one without it being a main plot point.

I'm with you. I used to start my argument off with, ''Of course it would be hard decision..." but now that I am a young professional, sexually active and know myself better.... if it the need arose, I would have an abortion without a second thought. Seriously, I know myself, my situation and my ambitions and there is…

I have never heard of this show, but most of the actresses do indeed look awkward.

Endurance/trail would be my guess, they can vary pretty widely on the English-Western spectrum.

Oh my god, my boyfriend is growing a beard and it's his birthday so I feel it would be wrong to tell him how stupid it looks but... it looks stupid.

I'm looking and failing to see which is supposed to be better. Like the ones on the right look 'thinner', but aren't we also supposed to abhor 'wrinkly' knees. I fucking quit.

Or.... like saying Rush Limbaugh isn't human garbage because his mouth is shut at that particular moment?

"Do you know what SCIENCE is? Have you ever heard of it? Well, they just created it for this week," he said. "They're in the middle of a hoax...."

This I could totally get behind. But B needs a lead line-at-Devon style hat.

This is why I cringe so hard whenever gossip columns try to say anything about horses.
