Rei sent a heads up about this week’s Savage Love column, which is just unbelievable. (In case you’re unfamiliar with it, the column is extremely frank about sex and in its use of language.

I can’t stop thinking about this entry of Kate’s. A large percentage of 18-24 year olds believe that being fat is more unhealthy than drug abuse, smoking, or alcohol. Hey there, mainstream media? JOKE’S OVER. Young people believe inhaling poison causes fewer problems than being fat. THIS IS NOT OKAY. And it’s your fucking fault [...]
