Silverman’s sister and niece were detained at the Western Wall, a holy site in Jerusalem where only men are allowed to pray [Update: Commenters have clarified men and women are segregated at the Wall and the section for women is much smaller. Also, the protesters were wearing traditional garments worn by men. You can read more about it in this New York Times article.], for staging a civil disobedience protest with the group “Women Of The Wall.” Silverman tweeted she is “SO proud” of her sis and niece.

Sarah Silverman’s Rad Sister Rabbi Susan Silverman Detained For Jewish Feminist Activism
Sarah Silverman Goes After The Bro-Choice Vote
No one ever really asked what the bros had to say about the Republican “war on women.” Which was sad, really, because they stood to lose quite a lot of blowies if we all had to be barefoot and pregnant. They will be ignored no longer! Now Sarah Silverman is putting that whole having-dated-Jimmy-Kimmel thing to good use and is urging bros to be bro-choice. You should watch it, bro.
Sarah Silverman Hilariously Explains Voter Suppression Laws, Which Is Not Hilarious At All (NSFW)
As we’ve previously discussed, voter suppression laws are kind of a big deal — specifically because they impact the poor, people of color, the elderly and students much more than anyone else. And since we — and we’re guessing, you — aren’t Ms. Moneybucks P. Cashly, we’ll likely be disproportionately impacted. That’s why we really appreciate this video by Sarah Silverman that directly connects the recent changes in voter ID laws and requirements with voter suppression. Also, we love her shooting guns with her nana. [Move On]
Sarah Silverman On Becoming A Lumpy Cave Lady, Going Full-Frontal
“I saw my full frontal, I had an actual heart attack — and I’m proud to have done it … I actually gained 20 pounds for the role. I wanted to be lumpier. I said, wouldn’t it be interesting to have a posture of a lady caveman. I’m really happy with that.”

Her “shower scene” takes place amongst a group of women of all shapes, sizes, and ages after a water aerobics class. Sarah Polley, who directed this romantic drama (also starring Seth Rogan and Michelle Williams), wanted to show real women with real bodies. Consider my film interest completely piqued.

Sarah Silverman Is In Love With A Unicorn
Sarah Silverman has found her angel—well, at least her unicorn. In this video, she blissfully smooches and goes on dates with the Serenading Unicorn, until she sees an incriminating text. It takes a mix tape and a pack of gum for the two to tearfully reunite in a passionate makeout session. Sure, this may technically be an ad for Juicy Fruit—which is so, so delicious until it inevitably loses its flavor—but it’s still pretty awesome. [WonderWall] Keep reading »
Sarah Silverman Wants Lower Expectations For Her Nude Scene
“The movie, I think, is gonna be great because Sarah Polley is incredible. But my body? In all honesty, I would say it’s a lot closer to Kathy Bates in ‘About Schmidt’ than, like, Julianne Moore in ‘Short Cuts.’ I am begging you to lower your expectations! … I’ll tell you what you can expect: a Cream of Wheat–ish texture on the upper thighs, from knee to belly button, I would say in all honesty. And a misshapen upper thigh that actually is not misshapen because there’s probably more like it than not, but it doesn’t look good in jeans.”

Quotable: Sarah Silverman’s Choice Words For The “Real Housewives” Ladies
“My boyfriend and I will watch ‘The Bachelor’ [and] ‘The Real Housewives of New York,’ and we laugh at it, or whatever, but it just horrifies me to think there might be young impressionable girls who think this is what being a woman is, being a rich conniving backstabbing c**t or someone who is flattered to be one of 25 girls some guy gets to pick from.”
