This seems to be a very good week for women surviving

In a drug store and I just passed by a busy mom with four young kids. A brother bumped his sister and the mother said to him: I TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR BODY TO YOURSELF! I hope she follows him to college

As fallout from the Cornell story continues, do you want to hear some history about the rape-on-campus/false-accusation panic from someone who was starting college as it took shape? Because this isn’t new, and it’s going to get ugly

And sororities, which can be toxic dens of bullying -- I mean, this is what happens when you house a bunch of insecure losers all together. Weird that no college administrators seem to have read Lord of the Flies in high school.

Absolutely disgusting. This school, which now costs almost $100,000 per year to attend, should ban all fraternities and sororities. Victims of criminal acts and hazing rituals should sue the school administrators and the national "Greek" organizations that shield criminals on campus.

This picture of the Pope at his 40th birthday party is everything to me.x

The Pope at his crazy as fuck 40th birthday party wearing a tiny sea captain hat, holding a tiny ice cream surrounded by THREE sad looking balloons. He's wearing a blue jacket and jeans with a brown belt and he's got a navy polo shirt on.

She is lovely and generous and let me cry on the phone to her after my mother died. What I mean is that she didn't try to stop me.

Donald Trump has killed the Kennedy Center, one of this country's most important arts venues. Home to so many great performances and indelible memories for three generations of my family -- and millions of audience members and performers. I didn't think I could hate him any more. And yet ...

Burnett explained that while the sketch was brilliantly written, it called for "Starlett" to "come down the stairs with the curtains just hanging" on her. Mackie, thinking the visual element could be funnier, "came up with the idea of making the dress with the curtain rod. I fell on the floor."
