It is amazing, and I don't understand how it's possible!

I love the taking-a-shit metaphor! Def gonna use that one. And YES I totally get that "you're-just-being-lazy" vibe from a lot of people who don't need more than 8. It's such bullshit. It'd be the equivalent of asking them to get up and go to work on 4-5 hours of sleep EVERY DAY. They'd be miserable.

well said. thank you for articulating so well what my exhausted brain cannot this morning!

Thank you! Yes, those questions would yield some important information I think. Trauma is my field of study, and I also wonder about if/how the effects of trauma would relate to this as well. Like, is how individuals neurobiologically survive and process trauma related to how much or how little sleep (and thus brain…

I envy you! :)

Yes! on top of needing the 10, my body wants to be a night owl, too!

I feel you! My friends/roommate tease me b/c I'm always trying to get in bed with lights out at 9. It's a legit need!

I've always suspected something like this. I wonder what the implications are then for people who need more or less than the typical 7-8 hours a night. Myself, I need at least 10 to feel rested and functional. My sister is 11-12. It's crazy. (And next to impossible to actually get.)

bacon grease hair. just perfect!!!!!

right?? wtf is that smile? he does it after almost every dumbass comment that comes out of his mouth. such a creep.

Ahem. I hate to be the bearer of bad news.....

oh this is so great. :D

Yeah, I don't think it's ok to participate simply in the name of holding on to traditions. I think she's saying that she and many feminists feel pulled to do it, despite knowing the meaning and larger impact, not b/c they want to hold onto traditions, but b/c of the internalized sexism that runs to our cores.

"You say that it's fine for feminists to want to hold on to traditions, but is it really when the tradition is so problematic and so reflective of the lesser value men place on us?"

never heard of "snail trail" myself but it "snail tracks" just came full circle. no pun intended.

Front coverage isn't the same tho. You can tell in the pic for this article, it's always thinner than regular underwear. While I don't know about unprotected labia in thongs, there definitely isn't as much material available.

yeah I got about 30 seconds in. that was all I could handle. that dumb-ass "isn't-this-just-cute-and-funny-life-is-so-hunky-dory" music in the background makes my head spin. save it for videos of puppies falling down the stairs.

34 seconds of that clip. that's all I could handle.

thank you!!!!!!!!! similar experience and my thoughts exactly about all this. nothing glamourous or empowering about it. you don't know. stop it.

yeesh. dudes are weird in their sleep.
