If someone can help me get this post out there:

That worked so well for Marissa Alexander. And let’s not forget South Carolina, the state where “stand your ground” doesn’t apply to DV and women get prosecuted for killing their abusers. And while we’re at it let’s take a look at the NRA and their effect on DV legislation in Louisiana just this year:

Two things -

Warning: long and somewhat babbly, but this is just something I’ve been thinking about.

I was just thinking about various barriers that women scientists face in their careers because of a situation that I just found myself in:

This hardly counts as a restaurant, but I was just reminded of how bizarre the scenario is. My husband’s store, which is non-food related, was doing a customer appreciation day... huge discounts, raffles, freebies, industry vendors, and me, who volunteers to grill hotdogs every year. Now, the hot dogs, various bags of…

Well if you pay them enough sex workers will say anything, Senator.

Do you guys ever wonder what it’s like to be on the wrong side of history? Like how embarrassing the four dissenting justices are going to be to their grandchildren (if they aren’t already?)

I took a world religions class where 99% of the other students got butthurt over discussion of the First Council of Nicaea. Because the idea that the Bible was written by various authors, compiled and edited by a bunch of dudes over the course of centuries, and then a bunch of books were left out blew their tiny…

But what kind of Doritos? Anything other than Cool Ranch and she’s a leech on society.

I’d have leaned over and whispered into the kid’s ear, “Bad milk tastes better than blood”

"Do? Well, I've never watched a person asphyxiate before, so here's my chance."

“Men and women do have different brains. This is a biological fact.”

Can’t tell you how many ransom arguments I’ve gotten into with parents because I don’t know the stupid kid’s name. They’re like “Brown hair with a red tshirt? That could be anybody’s kid. Not my problem.” There’s gotta be a better way!

I made my own wedding dress... but I didn't know it was a wedding dress, so I didn't put as much effort into it as I could have. My boyfriend was taking me on vacation in Hawaii, and he talked me into making a "pretty dress for when we went to the luau." Turns out, he'd been planning to ask me to marry him the whole…

Hi Kelly

Rein. Like 90% of our language, it's horses all the way down.

Wow, there is a big ol change.org petition detailing reasons why this may have been retaliatory. http://bit.ly/1wmBHds

The cheap tip thing baffles me. My husband and I were at a bar we frequent in Orlando the other day, and this group of people who had had several rounds of margaritas and beers without a single complaint get up to leave, and as they do, the guy who had paid beams at the bartender, taps the bar, and goes, "That's for…
