She... doesn't... like... the taste... of alcohol? I can't even put those words together in a sentence without long, painful pauses. This sentiment does not compute in my boozy brain.

I certainly agree that doctors are not exempt from mansplaining - but I personally think that this one (in this specific article) is not guilty as charged.

I am not sure this qualifies as "mansplaining." Yes, he's a man, but he's a doctor... and a professor of medicine who is also engaged in public policy surrounding health. He isn't exactly unqualified to talk about this, just because he isn't female. Over-diagnosis is a real thing, and if we don't understand a test…

Not in Texas! I will now search for a seamstress in the Washington, DC area. I had a great one back in my hometown... and there is always my mom! It'll be just like elementary school, when I had all home-made clothes :)

Will you make me some clothes? I am really bad at sewing. I will pay you a fair wage!!! :)

Dang it! I was afraid it would come across that way. I just wanted to respond to the claim that all Californians (presumably "non-Latino Californians") hate Latinos... not fetishize or infantilize.

In addition to what "if you listen to fools..." said, cats pass on parasites, ringworm, and MRSA to people who come in contact with them. I got ringworm from my old roommate's disgusting (truly disgusting) cat. Birds were here long before we were, and long before domesticated cats, as well. We've done enough…

Aurora and Cinderella are particularly off-putting and gross.

Proud Californian; not Latina; deeply love Latinos*, am eternally grateful for their influence and presence in California! I studied abroad in Mexico, and a litmus test for whether we are going to (continue to) be a friend of mine or not is how you respond to that information. It shocks/saddens/disgusts me how…

I will say this: I love traveling. LOVE IT. Do it all the time, thankfully. Have never missed a flight, bus, or train in my life. Have never forgotten to pack something crucial. I sleep soundly even before a 6 am flight. However, I have a dream at least once a week where I can't remember how to pack and where I keep…

A lit professor I had in college always said her name "Eh-dee" (like "eighty" with a soft "t"), not "Add-y" as it sounds in the trailer. That is going to kill me while I watch it (if I watch it).

One of my favorite images from "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is:

Agreed! Otherwise, all of this "Save the Boobies!" (SERIOUS eye roll over here) shit is definitely just another symptom of how we can't talk about women's bodies/health without talking about them as discrete sexual parts.

I appreciated that she said "It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested..." She knows that her privilege has allowed her better health care - and perhaps even implies that this privilege out to be extended. I too hope that us "normals" (and I have TWO health insurances!) can get access to this test…

Ugh, I had the same reaction. What on Earth was he trying to accomplish with that tweet? I don't even know who he is... is is schtick hipster racism?

For all the hateful talk of the Kardashians (even though Jez has done a nice job of defending Kim against body snark lately!), it would be nice to actually highlight what Kim did with more than a single line. It is good of her to encourage her friends to be generous with others, particularly those who are quite…

But then you were like, "wait, maintaining human dignity and not working to make the world a shittier place are both worth more to me than millions of dollars because I am a decent human being." I thank you for that, LaComtesse! There are a whole lot of ways to get rich, and almost all of them require too much of your…

Megan Rapinoe has an endorsement deal with Nike, too! I think she came out publicly after the endorsement deal was set up, so maybe that's why Griner is first!

Hey! Thanks for this. I'm checking it out!

It is, sadly, photo-shopped - those mom jeans used to be on a happy blond lady!
