So, I am a queer cis woman in her thirties. I work primarily in academic circles where we talk about gender A LOT. The pan identity is very interesting to me because, from my experience, this is how my generation of folks were previously using the term queer. Like, we identify as queer because it's inclusive of people…

First: congratulations! This is super hard, but it will be so, so much better once you are out of that house. I promise. Second: I left an emotionally abusive boyfriend two years ago, and it was awful and hard for a while. HOWEVER, I will never forget the moment, after moving into my own apartment, when I realized…

I'm a student at NC State. I'm also a hard-core feminist. I'm offended. Imma be on that bus.

I spent my formative years in competitive cheerleading, and now I ride bicycles. So, my quads, they are, formidable.

I was a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper! Imma wear it again tonight. :)

This is infuriating in a way that I can't even handle.

I can see that. Money and entitlement make for an insufferable mix.

I'm kind of surprised that, of the cities in the Triangle, Durham is considered more bro-tastic than Raleigh or Chapel Hill. As a resident of the Triangle, this confuses me.

I'll be there! Also, I live in downtown Raleigh. So, if anyone is coming in from out of town to protest, I'll be more than happy to host visiting Jezzies!

I'm a grad student at NC State who lives in downtown Raleigh, and I've been protesting on Mondays. It's become simultaneously awe-inspiring and rage-inducing. Every week there are more and more people - which is amazing and inspiring and makes me feel like we're really doing something! But the lawmakers just don't…

I live in Raleigh, and what is happening here right now is just fucking shitballs banana-ass crazy. I can't even handle it. The Republicans have taken over our state legislature and are making one awful, short-sighted decision after another. They've cut education funding, they've given tax breaks to rich, and now…

Yes. Very similar research has shown that the effects are quite different when children are raised by egalitarian parents. Although, I don't think that study considered adult political outcomes, it did show that children who were raised with parents who held egalitarian gender beliefs grew up to be more tolerant of…

I've been sitting here on the edge of my seat, repeating my mantra "we're so close", "we're so close", "we're so close" and then I remembered that Austin is IN CENTRAL TIME. RAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! I CAN'T.

I just like how the dog looks at the bill all "fuck off! I'm not paying for your espresso."

Yes. But if the shows weren't all about kids trying to launch singing careers/dance on TV/play in a band/make it in show biz, how would Disney justify slipping in the overly produced, shoddily auto-tuned singles that will launch the stars of their pre-pubescent empire into actual recording business stardom.

Mariah Carey's Candy Kisses - candy flavored vodka. Mix with Pharrell's Qream for the marketed cocktail "Candy and Qream."

People who don't think ladies are funny are assholes who don't know Lindy. Rick Moranis' Bananas made me laugh until I cried actual tears.

Honestly, as a Raleigh resident who frequents the bars in Glenwood South I hope that they shut down Downtown Sports Bar. That place is just gross. In addition to the racism they're also known for some pretty hardcore under-aged drinking. Just walking past it makes me feel a little dirty.

Um. But will you tell us why they're unrealistic? Because I honestly don't know, but would really like to!

My boyfriend is a triathlete, a MF-ing IRONMAN, and the BMI tells him that he's overweight. It's ridiculous.
