By the way, I really admire your time management skills. Commenting after only skimming the article, and limiting your googling to 60 seconds, must save a lot of time.

Are you referring to this study that even the authors said should not be used to limit women's exercise in pregnancy? They found no difference in miscarriage rates in a prospective study, and urge caution in interpreting the retrospective arm:

I actually feel sorry for these guys. The more they get into this delusional stuff, the more unlikely it is that they'll ever make those human connections they desperately crave, which means the more attracted they'll be the bitter and delusional stuff, which means it will only be harder to make those human…

Oh great, one more thing to surf around on the internet.

Two Weeks is the big one.

Ok, when all of the authors I love were leaving en masse I have to admit I thought it might be the end of my Jezebel reading days and I was really, really sad. Though I still have concerns about the way internal promotions are handled - I fucking miss Dodie so I'm not really over that yet - I do feel that Jez's new…

Um, actually it's not about his penis. It's about ethics in journalism.

I'm Lois Duncan, the author of DAUGHTERS OF EVE, which, to my amazement, appears to be just as controversial today as it was when I wrote it back in the late '70s. I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion (thank you Jia and Kelly) and would be happy to respond to any questions that anyone might have. (As long as you…

My grandmother is Lois Duncan, I just forwarded this article to her, I think she'll get a kick out of it! I grew up reading this, and I always found it to be a wonderful, chilling tale, full of exaggerated characters. You guys have really hit the nail on the head!

It's cool if you're vehemently pro- or anti-spanking/beating/whooping, but some of us (especially those who aren't parents yet) are still up in the air about it.

"Someone should tell Taylor Swift about stop-and-frisk, or poverty levels, or the effects of school budget cuts, or people of color being pushed out of the neighborhoods they have populated for decades because of condos and Ted Talks."

You're demanding an awful lot from a bubblegum pop singer.

Just to preempt an annoying line of thought before it takes root down here, #NotYourShield, or anyone objecting to the broader forces at work here using for an argument, "But I'm black," or, "I'm a woman," is not a good argument. It doesn't even hold up to its own internal logic. Minority vioces matter, and should be…

Yes, because the literal articulation of the word is the only way racism can manifest.

But I hardly know Anton!

And it's not like I'm a huge fan of her new music. I like her best when she's bordering on bluegrass. But the phrase "calculating as fuck" made me furious. Justin Timberlake had done every type of music known to God and Man and has all kinds of promotional deals and new producers to sell albums. Do we call him…

Yeah! No idea why calculating is used as a negative here...she is driving a successful career by herself. Sounds almost as if Julianne is suggesting that Taylor would be more likable if she fell into success by accident and didn't assert herself too hard. Jeez, should she smile more too??

Self publishing companies are the worst. Their customers are authors not readers and they know it. PublishAmerica is notoriously evil.
