I was waiting for SNS to post this, but it’s relevant enough to post here. A few days ago I stopped over at my oldest friend’s house to have some drinks since I had a random day off. I’ve been friends with him for 20 years. He has been married for 10 years so I know his wife very well too. They started having an…

“These floozies and their... velocipedes!”

“Oh those fucking Edwardians- don’t get me started” they’d say, twirling their parasols in self righteous disgust

I can’t believe people would rather shit indoors than eat food.

It’s not just about sex workers! Don’t forget their johns! Why does nobody think about the mennnn! /s

I would very much like to have a clear answer to the following: if the argument is that it is too difficult to isolate sex trafficking activities from other consensual sex work, is it Jezebel’s position that therefore we preference consensual sex work over victims of online sexual trafficking? Because, to be really…

I’m more okay with this than you probably want me to be... but after seeing how bad the sex trafficking has become... I wish there were some stats on how much trafficking occurs via craigslist and similar sites vs dark web or other methods

Then tell me that women who…

I discovered mine by digging, too: on etsy. The top one is about five inches across.

archaeologist ≠ paleontologist 

Uhh, Retallack isn’t an archaeologist. Archaeologists deal with evidence of human activity. He’s a geologist and paleontologist. These are different fields.

You’ve got a brand new account so you’re probably a troll, but damned if “all seashells are 65 millions years old” isn’t the most hilariously wrong thing I’ve heard in days.

I found a rabbit skull in the woods behind my apt last Sunday.

Isn’t that what Penn Gillette did? Like, weeks of only dry baked potatoes with nothing else? After that point, some addiction switch was flipped and he suddenly was cool with moderating his food and can eat normally now. Maybe that was just a good dream I had...

I promise if you only consume vodka you will totally lose weight. There might be some side effects.

The Potato Diet only sounds great if it includes potatoes in all its forms: chips, fries, vodka, etc.
