Yes, puppy party! This is my girl for Halloween last year...this year she will be a dinosaur. heh. She hates it which makes the whole exercise even cuter.

I'm so glad you filed a complaint and didn't let that stand - but that is awful!!! Thank you for sharing that, it's very informative and something I'll look into....maybe I should do a study on this, it seems to be far more common than I realized and I'm having a hard time finding research on it in counseling…

Wow, that is quite awful! I had no idea that was a possibility - definitely going to look into that/ask about that during cc interviews. I'm sorry you had to go through that after your assault, it sounds like it may have been retraumatizing.

It's not their fault, they learned it at home!

This is militantly adorable. I feel like I'm under jowl-attack and it is perfection.

I know the void of which you speak. It's a terrible burden for us all. Thankfully, when we're sitting pretty on our Romney/Ryan diamond-encrusted Huffy®s, the healing process will begin.

As someone who would like to work in a college counseling center post-PhD, this is horrifying. In addition to the hospitalization when Epifano made suicidal comments (standard at any college counseling center, though CLEARLY AWFUL since the center itself created the issue that led to her feeling suicidal), it seems…

Thanks, you can ride it later if you want! But only once. Really quickly. You know what we might be too busy. You can watch me ride it though.

I keep Tweeting @Mitt that the total destruction of China needs to involve forcing all 1.3 billion people to dance Gangnam style. Ni hao, assholes.

My favorite political moment was when Hillary Clinton promised me a pony in 2008. We were going to brush its hair and ride it together and everything! Oh, the beauty, the wonder of it all! Nothing tangible and real that Obama has done can compare to that split second of joy -though recently Paul Ryan has been…

"Betterment by Intimidation". I like it.

This is really good timing for me - I'm only productive when there are people around me being slapped for their unproductive behavior. I'm just always afraid that the slappers will get overexcited and start flailing wildly, slapping anyone they deem idle. Thus, I try to work as quickly as possible to get the fuck out…

"[Conservatives] have a certain amount of wishful thinking," Holzhauer said. "They have a belief that if [women who don't want to have a baby] do get pregnant, they can create their own [heteronormative, loving, perfectly sustainable] family. They romanticize the idea."

Oh ugh, I remember tales of that "reason" for abstaining...we had a young male make this case to us too, in his we're-all-bros here voice. All I remember is him saying that his wife was "made a virgin again in God's eyes" and then we all filed out to the chapel to get chastity rings, even the crying girl next to me…

I had abstinence plus education in high school, and you are spot on - all it does is combine abstinence only education with sexual fear mongering, but does nothing to address reality-based information on ways in which you can practice saf(er) sex. What I read above is that they are empowering young girls to make the…

Oh surely there will be both...just not hundreds.

That's why I picket my local helmet providers. YOUR HELMET HAIR DISPLEASES THE LORD, OUR GOD, AND FOR THAT YOU SHALL BE SMOTE FORTHWITH!

I could say something about the collective wit generated in that thread, but really I'm just glad people LIKED ME, THEY REALLY LIKED ME. #sorryotherfeminists

Had a nearly perfect blog post on our culture of misogyny, but forgot to use the word 'problematic'. #sorryfeminists

YES LINDY YES THIS IS THE BEST.
