Oof, "hella." I was only able to remove "hella" from my vocabulary by moving to the other side of the country.

Exactly! I'm a moron, too. I do therapy, and I have to videotape myself sometimes with fake clients, and I am always horrified. I hope I'm camera-shy and not just utterly incapable of intelligent speech patterns.

So, Jezzies: what is your go-to verbal filler word? I've always thought of myself as an "um" or an "uh" girl, but I'm listening to myself interview someone on tape right now, and it turns out I'm "er" all the way. Who'd have thunk it?!

Congratulations! My undergrad kicked my ass, too, and the feeling of holding your diploma in your hands is fucking incredible. Nobody can take your degree away from you — that shit is yours for life, and the battlewounds you endured to get there make it even sweeter.

Yeah, I had the same response — I was fine with this casting and didn't understand the snark until I watched this video :-/ I'm sure there have been people who've done it on stage who haven't been as good, but if you're going to televise it . . . this is just not what the legacy of Ms. Andrews demands.

I love Daylight Savings Time. I hate the END of daylight savings time, when it gets dark at 4 p.m., and I certainly bitched about it to two different people today.

That's what I thought at first, but then I remembered that I'm a woman, so there's no way that anything Holy is happening with my vagina.

Ah, I didn't get what you were saying. I qualified for a lot of subsidizing, clearly, but $10/month was still really tough for me to pay. And as someone who works with young mothers from low-income backgrounds, I'm all about the affordable care act, and not at all into these exemptions. My school and my employer…

Wait, what? I went to Planned Parenthood when I didn't have insurance and my birth control pills there cost $10/month, because they subsidized it. I don't understand why you think that's a lie?

Just as long as you don't have "Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt" tattooed on your breast.

Mine cries tears of blood once a month or so.

Oh my gosh, Cards Against Humanity is super, super fun. Friends and I downloaded it and played it all the way through in a drunken, giggly night.

I'm so sorry that you're having such a hard time with your mom. Experiencing abuse and not having it acknowledged can be incredibly re-victimizing, and I'm sorry that you're going through that, now.

You can do it! Good luck!

As a radical feminist, I am opposed to non-consensual male circumcision, and would argue that it is worse than the subject of this article, which is adult, voluntary genital alteration (though I think it is important to discuss what causes people to elect this seemingly useless and potentially mutilating form of…

Good luck! I work with young women who have dropped out of high school and who have kids, and I know they all would have loved the opportunity to stay in traditional high school. You have a hard road ahead of you - motherhood is hard for everyone, and age only complicates things - so I encourage you to lean on your…

You can make your own bisquick without fancy dried shortening! You just need to cut in a little bit of butter or shortening when you use it, which won't slow you down much.

As the other comment says, it varies state by state. I grew up calling it CPS, and now it's called DCF in my current state, but it used to be called DCS.

Yeah, the headline especially bothers me when there have been so many totally badass, totally clothed, totally feminist nuns in recent years.

I'm probably a bit of a malcontent, and there's no way I would use a massage gift certificate - I'd probably re-gift it :-(
