I would probably be pretty disappointed that I took so long to get to grad school and not stoked on my singledom, but we’d share a bowl and everything would be fine.

That's the most frustrating thing. You can't sit there and go, no, look, whatever fucking Ayn Rand said in her goddamn works of fiction, the social science and doesn't add up. If you disagree with them, you're either brainwashed sheeple and don't know any better or gay-agenda baby killers hell-bent on destroying…

Oof, Men’s Health. As an exercise in J-school, I had to edit a piece one of my professors wrote for MH, and I kept going- what is this shit? I needed to go over the piece with a male classmate because I couldn’t tell if the prof was trolling me or not.

Interesting fact I learned this week— according to a Pew Research survey, liberals are more likely to unfriend people with different political viewpoints.

My working theory on this is that, for example, I won't unfriend someone about differences in tax policy. I will unfriend the fuck out of someone if they say…

Oh yeah, and make sure you don't go for some lib'ral brainwash degree like sociology. Make sure it's a REAL degree, like engineering or something, and then buck up and smile and ignore the endemic sexism when you get into the field.

(eta- I agreed with you too quickly and missed your later points, which are pretty much…

b-b-b-but Ayn Rand said selfishness was a moral good. You wouldn't disagree* with that sparkling mind, would you???

That show was over far too soon.

this is some high-octane shit. also, where can i buy your shirt?

A series of lifestyle changes have made my weight fluctuate so insanely that I’m not even sure what size I am anymore. Hopefully now that it’s spring and I can go outside and buy in-season vegetables again (fuck you, Chicago winter) I will be back down to my accustomed size and I will take your advice and feel super…

I can't believe I'm 28 and just learning this barf trick now.

Okay those are adorable. Out my current budget, maybe, but definitely somewhat attainable (tax refund season!).

Thanks!

Science would like to know how much cocaine these youngsters did. Is there any safe dosage?

I think it’s the moment, right before he voms where he’s like: I thought I could handle this but oh shiBLERRG.

Legally speaking, spousal rape wasn’t illegal until at least the ‘70s. There were actually marital rape exemptions in state law until 1993. In some states to this day, in order to rape your spouse, there has be a threat of violence (like a weapon). Because if you don’t have a weapon, apparently, she was asking for it…

I got mine from my cousin, who was leaving her undergrad program from the same school I was entering for my Master's. So the whole setup was free, plus sheets. Good thing, too, because judging by how long it took me to get the rest of my furniture, I would've slept on the floor for a month.

The other day I was suuuuppppper pissed at a colleague I was collaborating with, and also trying to quit smoking, so I escaped the office and took a walk around downtown Chicago at lunch hour. About 10 minutes in a lady a decade or two older than me came up and said "I just want you to know that you have your sweater…

Fellow grad student here! I'm not sure if what I have counts as a bed frame, since it's metal and has wheels, but no matter. I console myself with the fact that I'm way too freaking busy to date, anyway.

That sounds horrible/amazing. Why isn't there a portmanteau for that yet? That sounds.... horrazing.

This is some next level Gossip Girl shit. Please write a tell-all memoir.
