As much as I love the concept of synced cycles, it’s a myth. The idea was propagated due to some terribly flawed student research done with a super-tiny sample size which was conducted at the height of the second-wave. The idea really captured the zeitgeist; in a time of consciousness-raisings and speakouts, who…

Whenever I see this dude’s name, I keep mixing him up with Calvin Johnson — the one from Beat Happening, not the sportsball(?) guy whose name I have also heard. I was intrigued by the possibility of a collaboration. I’ve never heard Taylor Swift but I figured it would be a step up after reading her insipid lyrics. Oh…

Baked brie is good, but have you tried deep-fried camembert? With a panko crust? And a blackcurrant reduction (or gooseberry, or even Saskatoon berry)?

Ugh! There’s a grocery store near us with an open olive bar — I can’t even shop there because half the store reeks of shit (olives smell like literal shit to me — I dunno what that’s about, because I know from experience that they don’t taste the way they smell even though they still taste nasty) and it makes me gag.…

Ehhh, nightshades don’t affect everyone the same. Cutting them out can help some people with inflammation but it’s not so cut-and-dried. I (this is Mrs Beast the crip) have an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by periods of joint pain and swelling (among many other nasty surprises) and I tried an elimination…

Her weird stretched/rotated arm is the last one, I think...

Wow, I’ve never seen non-plus 18 or 20 anywhere. I know a couple of people who could really use such magical sizing (I want to find dresses that are a 12/12W in the boobs, a 10 in the waist, and a 14W in the ass without having to pay for tailoring, so I need some magic too! Oh yeah: and I’ll need some room in the…

Wait, is the Lane Bryant photo booth promo shot seriously devoid of women who could fit into Lane Bryant clothing? Huh. Thanks, SI.

So you know your dad is the best, right?

Motherfucker needs to keep his rape-apologia-typing hands the fuck off of the Stanley Cup (and any other cups: A, B, C, etc...he ain’t to be trusted with ‘em)!

It’s shockingly tone-deaf, non? I got to that part, and my jaw literally (literally-literally, not figuratively-literally) dropped.

Agreed. The team site I follow there (actually the only place on the interwebs where I am a signed-up commenter) has a generally inclusive tone. They’ve been really great about creating space for female voices and addressing sexism in sports (and in the world) in an intersectional way, and the commenters — far from…

I’m so sorry. That’s awful. I don’t understand why people have this obsession with “fighting” terminal illness as long as possible. It’s not a fight; it’s just prolonging agony, past a certain point. In dementia cases, especially, the person isn’t even really there anymore past a certain point. It’s not even like…

Haha! Sooo glad I wasn’t the only one — that damn song has been in my head since the moment I read the headline!

The buzzes indicate surgery was successfully performed!

Robert Kardashian actually believed OJ was innocent at the beginning of the whole mess. His opinions changed after the fact, by all accounts. He considered it a personal betrayal, as they were very close friends, and he hated that he was lied to so completely.

I think I saw one on the Valentine’s march, but if it were up to me, it would be in the news all day, every day. I have friends and colleagues on that list (both missing and murdered), and the reporting around it has been generally nauseating, playing into all the old stereotypes. Too much of the talking has been done…

Aaah! Why is that so biiiiig?! Sorry everyone, I sucks at the Kinjas!

Ooooh, Reel Injun is so good! Everyone needs to see it! Exclamation mark!

The Savita case was so horrible, and thank you for mentioning it (she was one of my first thoughts also).
