My friends did the same thing. They were driving down the freeway and saw this one-year-old husky running up and down the shoulder, terrified. They stopped and saver her using the leash from their old dog who had just passed away. Turns out she didn’t have a chip. After doing their due diligence to find her owner,…

What category do Grape Nuts fit into? My mom made us eat that all the time. It was neither sugary nor sweet and could break your teeth. 

Lil penises were all the rage in Ancient Rome. Lots and lots of penis shaped jewelry, like earrings with little cherubs riding penises. I think even the traditional Italian horn-shaped jewelry (corneto) is just basically a modified penis. I have one that I wear all the time that was given to my dad by his grandmother.…

Yes! I have a whole section on this in my dissertation! Its fascinating and also disgusting. A lot of time the bathing suits would still be wet from the previous wearer.

This makes me so happy. Deb Haaland is my rep and I proudly voted for her. 

When can we stop using the word “alleged”? If they fired him there must be some proof or a they believed the complainant over Lauer. When can we start saying “Matt Lauer fired over sexual misconduct”?

The some cities in the U.S. had these kinds of laws in the late nineteenth century as more women began entering the workforce and living alone in urban areas. Men would be fined for harassing women on the street. I’m not sure when they went away, and I’m not sure if they should come back, but it’s an interesting idea.

I have a hiatal hernia too. It sometimes very uncomfortable when I eat large meals and it gives me wicked acid reflux, but I’ve never heard of it causing sever weight loss. I hope he gets better soon.

My best friend was Kathy Bates’s nurse when she was recovering from a surgery as Cedars in LA. My friend had no idea who she was (making her the perfect nurse for a famous person), but said that Bates was a very nice and warm person.

My mom kept all of these kinds of paperbacks in a hall closet. I remember looking for something to read when I was a teenager (reading was basically all I did as a teen) and finding Sydney Sheldon and Jackie Collins books galore. To say the least, my fourteen year old self learned a lot. A lot.

Interesting. Thanks! Now I know.

I don’t think it can be rightfully called a class action suit since rich people flying to the Bahamas for a shit show of a music festival are not part of a protected class.

I live in New Mexico and work in higher education and Susana Martinez is the devil. That’s all.

It is a very strange “the enemy of my enemy is my friend moment” but I’m so glad I failed.

Not until I was in middle school. My parents kept all, and still keep all, financial stuff just between the two of them. I only realized my family was more-well off (upper middle-class, closer to upper maybe) when my friend’s dad asked me how much money my parents made. I was thirteen, had absolutely no idea, but…

Comparing Trump to Andrew Jackson is not totally out of line, especially when you look at how they view executive power. Andrew Jackson openly defied the Supreme Court ruling on Cherokee v. Georgia that said that the Cherokees had every right to stay on their land. Jackson moved them anyway. I don’t think its a…

How many people work at the IRS? Someone has to thinking about leaking Trump’s returns.

Also I want to write for Pictorial. I'm qualified! I promise!

It’s definitely a sex thing. Bathing suits at the time were nothing more than shortened Victorian-style skirts and dresses (it was normal to wear a corset under a bathing costume until probably 1915). The woman on the left isn’t wearing any clothes, just the details of a fancy bathing costume: a sailor collar and…

One of my hands down, absolute favorites is Meredith Duran's Duke of Shadows. Slightly obscure historical event. Desert sex. Separation and reunion. All around excellent.
