As a grad student who is funded by the NIH to study drug addictions and possible forms of treatment, I was very confused by that sentenced. Has Kristen never heard of NIH or NIDA?

Rupaul should have been nominated for best host.

It is a great show! I just netflixed the entire season this weekend after I reading a rave review tweet from Janet Mock (trans activist and all around awesome person)and also after she mentioned that Laverne Cox (a trans actress) was also on the show. I had previously misjudged the show as another story about some…

That is a totally fair assessment of the character, and I believe it is intentional on the part of the writers. I don't know how far along you are in the series, but some of the characters do levy this same accusation against later on and it is totally warranted. I think one of the main themes of the show that I…

This is exactly why I like this show.

WERQ! Seriously, she along with Iman and Carmen Dell'Orifice are my inspirations for aging gracefully.

All good reasons to date George Clooney, just as long as one doesn't delude herself into thinking she'll be THE ONE to change him. Now I'm not the most up to date with celebrity gossip, but do his exes really get a career boost? I mean they certainly get a lot of visibility while they are dating Clooney, but as soon…

Abortion debates on Facebook are never good for my work productivity. I just had one today. Even though I knew I shouldn't have responded to his purposefully inflammatory post, I still did. He was clearly looking for concurrent comments, a few of which he got. Thankfully, a few people backed up my argument as well. I…

For the last LW, I hope the guys in that situation is smart enough to get a pre-nuptial agreement.

That girl almost ruined the film for me.

Personally, I love Amy Schumer and I'm happy to see her have so much success this year. I saw her perform last year and she absolutely killed it.

Katie J. M. Baker you have great taste in music.

Aside from the ridiculousness of this Kickstarter request, I think part of the reason that they did not make any money for it is because they don't have the fan base as a musical duo. The other celebrity-affiliated KP all had fan bases to already draw from. Veronica Mars was a cult favorite with a dedicated audience,…

Well it seems like it is a bit of a mixed bag. The military has made some real progress in some areas, such as the ones you cited. But it still needs some major improvement in other areas such as how it addresses incidences of sexual assault/harassment. I am an eternal optimist so I really do hope they improve in that…

I agree that skin sensitivity probably plays a role as well in addition to how you choose to remove body hair. Personally, for me I use different methods of hair removal for different parts of my body.

That's interesting. I kind of wish that I could wax my under-arm hair because the results last a lot longer (and the hair grows back finer, apparently). Unfortunately, waxing irritates my under-arm skin more than waxing.

Hi, lady here, I shave my arm pits on a regular basis (every 5 days or so) and it does not itch or irritate my skin. In fact, that is probably the case for most women. I think what matters more is the method by which you choose to depilate.

What a narrow way of thinking. Every performer is different whether male or female. Female comics are not trying fit into a male mold when they perform.Female comics are representing themselves and being able to represent your own unique observations is not an inherently male quality. I'm glad that most people do not…

Thank you. Your comment was really helpful. Even I'm a neuroscience grad student, I find most mainstream articles about scientific discoveries really maddening in their vagueness (except for IO9 and NYTimes Science articles, which tend to be a bit more detailed than and way more accurate than Jezebel).
