Huh, I never knew that! Thanks! I'm going to go look up that article.

Okay, so basically if I see Jezebel following me I can comment on mainpage articles, right? Because Groupthink follows me and I can comment on those articles, but I can't post. What happens if an author follows you? Rich on Gawker followed me a little while ago and I thought I might be able to comment on Gawker,…

Nope, you will not smell it afterwards. I always add rosemary and peppermint essential oil to it anyway for their helpful properties, and it overpowers the vinegar scent. But even just a plain ACV rinse won't smell for very long.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

I have super long hair too. Try an apple cider vinegar rinse to remove build-up. I will also be happy to recommend other products, but first I need to know if you have hard water or not since that will effect my suggestions.

No, but I have to (TMI) poo a lot right beforehand. Am I a freak?!

I cut ties with the racists in my family. There's no reason not to. Just because you share ancestry doesn't mean it's acceptable to put up with racism. You wouldn't voluntarily have these people in your life if they were just acquaintances, right? If there's no way explaining their faults will help them see the…

In 1997 Duane Buck was sentenced to death by a Texas jury. This is not especially surprising since Texas has close to 300 death row inmates, what stands out in this particular case is the illegality of the ruling. It's no secret that people of color face harsher sentences that white defendants, but this case has…

I don't necessarily mind being in the greys (especially on Jez where I don't comment much). What I don't understand is how complete morons are registered users. It drives me crazy to see commenters posting obnoxious racist material, one word replies, irrelevant memes, or 'murica on every post. Let those of us who…

Not a small business owner necessarily, but I work for myself. The one thing I can say is that accountants are well worth it. Unless you have a background in finance, don't try to take it all on yourself. You don't want to have 20 different things on your plate (which will happen running your own business)…

Yes, stranger's comfortability with touching you out of the blue is very odd. The only visible tattoo I have (which is usually hidden by my hair anyway) is behind my ear/on my neck, which I consider to be a pretty intimate place. I can't tell you how many times people have come up and just poked or stroked it. I…

People get tattoos for their own pleasure. It's not an invitation for you to judge or touch us.

Yes, same here! I've dealt with what I assume is anxiety for a few years now, and as much as I want help, the idea of talking to someone sends me into panic. I've tried a few times to schedule doctors appointments, as my condition is only worsening. But every time I end up backing out. The one time I went through…

This works with journaling/writing as well if you don't have someone around when you need them. I'm an artist who needs constant inspiration and I have close to a dozen journals floating around my place. They're really invaluable.

Law enforcement does as they please. Keeping shut can only do so much when they already have their mind made up of your guilt. If you have the money for a good lawyer, go for it, but for the rest...

Yeah, cops only ever arrest the actual bad guys, right?

I drop more oil on it when it stops smelling, and change it out whenever it's looking flat.

I stick a cotton ball with some peppermint or lemon essential oil dropped on it in the bottom of mine. Though I use a small under-cabinet can rather than one of the big kitchen cans, so mine gets emptied pretty regularly.

America has bad taste? This book is a best seller around the world (note the Belgian herpes story that was published earlier), and was written by a British author. Everyone has bad taste.

As someone who cashiered for almost 5 years during high school and college, I can pretty much assure everyone that cashiers do not give a fuck what you're purchasing. Whether you're using food stamps at the grocery store, or buying a "personal massager" at Target we honestly could not care less. We are probably not…
