Fun fact: An OkCupid prospective date recently asked me if I could twerk. I said no. Being a geeky, fantasy-novel reading feminist/academic this is a true fact: I cannot reliably and satisfactorially twerk. He said he is only interested in women who can twerk.

I have a new diet, y'all. You best get on this because it's about to blow up. It's called "Have Some Skinny Bits on Your Body AND ALSO Have Some Jiggly Bits Because On This Diet You Go Out and Do Stuff but Also Eat Delicious Food from Time to Time".

Ugh, this story just made me throw up in my mouth a bit.

No, no no! Wash it away, sea! Wash it away! The Kool-Aid man is terrifying.

Hannah Simone is beautiful. That is all.

You sound like a good mom to me! I'm not a mother, but I can imagine it would be really hard to walk the line between respecting your daughter's choices and protecting her. I feel like the teenage years are difficult, in part, because it's not altogether clear to parents whether or not it is appropriate to intervene…

My parents were weird about boyfriends staying in my bedroom until I was 25 or so. Their reasoning: they don't want me to be a bad influence on my little brother. Meanwhile, my (teenage) brother has porn literally cascading out of his computer. I really don't think me sleeping in the same bed with a person with whom I…

I didn't date in high school at all but became very, um, precocious my first year of college. On my first trip home, for Thanksgiving, I rocked up with two tattoos and a piercing and I invited my hook-up du jour over after my parents went to bed. We did our business and we ended up falling asleep. The next morning, we…

It's only rumour, but I've heard she has been diagnosed with schizophrenia or, at least, that she's been exhibiting classic signs of schizophrenia. But that's only hearsay at this point.

In other mental health news, Hugo Schwyzer is currently having either a mental breakdown or a moment of clarity on Twitter.

Baha! I like this.

"He poked me on Facebook."

The human brain is not suited to long periods without social stimulation. Prisoners in solitary account for 5% of the prison population, but 50% of the suicides, and suffer from anxiety, hallucinations, etc. It can also do permanent damage, and thus hinder the prisoner's ability to re-enter society.

What is this argument? Russia did shitty things in the past so.....now they should have free rein to keep doing shitty things?

Did you know that every time a man has sex with another man or a woman has sex with another woman, you lose a centimetre from your dick? Where is that in the lamestream news? Smdh, sheeple.

So now people are having organised engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, actual weddings AND proposals? What's next? "Save the date for our Seating Plan Unveiling!"

I wonder if he ever uses that as a pick-up line. "Hey baby, I can elicit in rats a sexual response that others couldn't. Makes you wonder what I could do for you, eh?"

Congratulations!
