Okay, but the way the article phrased things, a 140lb 5'4" girl reading it would think she was 20lbs overweight.

Oh My God. My sister and I were fed this dreck back in the 90s. Not a month goes by that I don’t think of the anti-feminist, anti-thought poison I read between the wind-chafed, modestly dressed covers of that rag. Why, just today, I was enjoying an old episode of Homicide: Life on the Street (banned in the…

The whole “daughter of Christ/bride of Christ” dichotomy used to make me want to woof my wafer back in my churchgoing days.

As an archaeologist, I understand the hatred for Papyrus.

Unfortunately, I doubt this experience is going to teach Dani Mathers the importance of inner beauty. Where’s that witch from Beauty and the Beast when you need her?

*shrieks*

There’s a battery-powered version of this remedy called the TheraPik (see picture). It has a little element at one end that you press against the bite. I bring one with me when I do fieldwork in the bush. Everyone laughs, but my god, it works.

He looks like he takes workplace scent policies v seriously

I dunno...he looks like an unscented antiperspirant kinda guy. My bet would be clean laundry and soap.

Unfortunately, menstrual cups and IUDs shouldn’t be used together (I guess the worry is that you’ll suck your IUD out when emptying the cup). I also once had a pretty unfortunate experience with a diva cup, an ice fishing camp, 60km winds, and an outhouse with a broken lock.

I find naproxen works pretty well, but be careful to only take it after you’ve eaten, and avoid it if you have ulcers or GERD. It can make things a bit extra burn-y in the stomach area.

Greetings, fellow archaeologist! I’ve tried both the Mirena (hormone-releasing, tends to make your periods stop) and Copper IUDs (YMMV! Makes my periods v. heavy and crampy). I’ve found that I can’t handle hormonal BC, so I’ve stuck with copper, and just deal (lots of naproxen and OB ultra tampons). If you can deal…

I do fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic, where bears (black/brown/grizzly/polar, depending on where you are) are something you have to think about.

I sense the plot of a romantic comedy here. Muscular woman is in relationship with insecure guy. Meets new man who values her physicality and strength. Sparks fly this fall in Janie’s Got the Guns.

Too bad this is the artistic equivalent of nutriloaf.

Oh man. Swamp archaeology. All the blackflies, plus a unit floor that rises overnight!

As an archaeologist who specializes in Arctic and Subarctic hunter-gatherer cultures, I find it hard not to get salty when Mesoamerican archaeologists are all like “Oh, another polychrome potsherd. I guess that’s pretty interesting.”

Bitch, I portaged three rapids and killed my own dinner to find this SINGLE…

Hardworking witches everywhere are insulted.
