Well, context is everything — your context explains your comments to that article!

This gave me such a good laugh!! Love your wording.

Try a 1:1 mixture of baking soda and water. Shake the hell out of it (I use a water bottle with one of those metal blender balls in it). I pour it on different parts of my head and scrub. Then I rinse with water, and then I pour on a 1:1 mixture of cider vinegar (not white vinegar!) and water. Then rinse with regular…

There’s a great book of cartoons inspired by ads from CL’s “Missed Connections” sections in various cities. A fun read. _I Saw You: Comics Inspired by Real-Life Missed Connections_ (Julia Wertz, editor): http://www.amazon.com/dp/0307408531/…

I worked in a hospital that was 60 miles away from a conservative Christian college, the closest hospital. Those young Christian women from that college kept our “abortion machines” running day and night! And the funny thing was that 9 out of 10 of them would say, “I don’t believe abortion should be legal, but....”…

That’s some great writing there. Loved this. Printing it to paste in my journal, properly cited. (How to cite a Jezebel.com comment by the author “chritter is a nocturnal feminist mancatfish”in proper MLA format?)

And a year from now when he guns down 20 people in some mall, Time magazine will trot these two incidents out and everyone will wring their hands and say, “See, we told you he had mental problems, it’s not the guns, it’s the mentally ill, how on earth did this mentally ill man get his hands on guns illegally, omg guns…

So here’s a question. Are conspiracy theorists a new thing? Let’s look at those who believe the WWII holocaust didn’t happen. Did these theories pop up right after WWII? Or is that a more recent thing? Do you suppose there were people who believed back in the 1940s that the Pearl Harbor bombing was an inside job? Did…

I’m not a gentleman. I’m a woman who has been raped. I am also a sociologist who works with researchers to reform the way sex offender registries are used in this country, because current uses are ineffective in preventing sex crimes. I believe this man should be punished. But what I have witnessed over the past 20…

Thank you for this! I always get tongue-tied and can’t explain this issue to people when they ask why I support changing the practice of registries. THIS is what I’ll hand over to them from now on.

Agreed. I’m glad for groups like RSOL who move forward discussions about the role SO registries have in isolating individuals and forcing their families out of areas where they are safe and supported. ABSOLUTELY this dude should pay for his crime. But after he’s done that, you know what’s going to happen. He’ll be…

Yayy!! You’re going to have so much fun!

Really? That’s hilariously sweet!

I do that too!! Do you remember when Fred Rogers visited her, and she took off his shoes, because that’s what he did at the start of each show?? Mister Rogers + Koko = all good feels.

Escapee from a very conservative evangelical upbringing here. The churchies are bad tippers. This 1k nowhere near makes up for the tips they’ve shorted their Pizza Hut and Ihop servers after church for the last gajillion years. Common practice in my (former) crowd: leave a religious tract instead of money; it has more…

I know, right?? What was that all about? Plus the “older” thing is really getting on my 50-year-old nerves today...why is that always equated with “not a flattering pic” or “bad pic”?

Why is “she looks older” always linked with a negative word like “unflattering”? So sick of this view.

Daffy: “Mine! Mine! ALL MINE!!” (maniacal laughter)

So the Jared guy is featured in this video about running a successful small business in Asheville. I watched it and rated him about a 2/2/0.

I asked this of the other person, too — recommendations on what part of PR?
