I'd disagree with the "loveless" part. If her mother didn't love her, I don't think she'd care enough to be interested as much as she seems to be. I think they just don't understand how to communicate with each other due to clashing communications styles. Read more

GREAT use of that gif. Read more
Agreed. Whatever it was that happened to her (I'm betting sexual assault), she's definitely not in any way "over it" if she's bringing it up then refusing to talk about it. It's still bothering her. Read more
You hit the nail on the head; it sounds like a teenager who doesn't fully understand their own emotions and gets mad at other people for not understanding them. Unfortunately, if that's the case, I worry that maybe she shouldn't be diving head-first into ANY religion, because to someone with that issue past their… Read more
No problem, happy to help! Read more
I agree. And this is the most important thing to me:
"I'm mad at you mom and things happened to me that I will allude to but not actually tell you, even though they were really REALLY important. But don't ask me about them"
What she does there is INCREDIBLY shitty communication. That's entirely unfair to tell someone,… Read more
I have an affinity for creative terms for the cray-cray, and I wanted to let you know that I am stealing "fuckbucket of crazy" and adding it to my stable of creative terms for insane, which includes "Banana Town" and "whackboots." Read more
Indeed you are permitted to express such gif-affection. Read more
Clearly not. Read more
It's actually quite simple! Take it from me; I am terrible at the internetz. You should be seeing three icons in a group right above the text when you use a commenting window - the left-most one looks like a chain (this is for hyperlinks), the middle one looks like a picture (this is for images/gifs), and the…

THIS IS THE BEST GIF EVER ASIDE FROM THAT ONE BURT USES WITH THE SPARKILY PURPLE DOLPHIN Read more
I spent Grades 2-5 in an Orthodox Jewish school. I was the only Reform Jew in the school. Believe me, I learned PLENTY of what Orthodox Judaism is really about - primarily, treating more secular Jews like shit because they don't follow rules simply for the sake of tradition.
There is no possible way God cares about… Read more
At this point, since you're just spouting the same bullshit line over and over and over ("if you say Meg White was not good at being a musician, you're a sexist"), I'm just going to dismiss your comments, because they add nothing to the discussion and they are completely and totally illogical. Have fun refusing to… Read more
This guy is a walking Misogyny Bingo Card. Read more
Remember earlier today when I said that Joffrey Bieber was the most punchable thing I'd ever seen?
I take it back. This walking puddle of moose semen is the most punchable thing I've ever seen. How the fuck can they POSSIBLY justify not removing him? This is clearly and unequivocally hate speech. Hell, he straight…
I. ADORE. Kate McKinnon. She's the best performer currently on the show by a wide margin. My favorite SNL cast member will always be Gilda Radner, but McKinnon's been a hugely pleasant surprise since she started on that show. Read more
It has its moments. Being raised as a Reform Jew, the issue I always had with stricter forms of Judaism boils down to this:
As Jews, one of the cultural values we prize most highly is skepticism. We're taught to be skeptical of everything...except, in the case of Orthodox and (to a lesser extent) Conservative… Read more
It took me about 20 minutes of thinking about this article to figure out what it was that was bothering me about it. At first I thought it was the occasional self-righteous moralism, but eh, that wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been. The self-aggrandizing was a bit much, but honestly, in a letter of this type… Read more
Ok, I know the body image aspect to this is important, but I can't get over the fact that her face looks like something out of a Guillermo del Toro movie.
