I used to work in a boutique that sold these and other ridiculously expensive candles and it always blew my mind that people would actually burn these. If you are gonna spend that much money on a candle you better sit it on a coffee cup or candle warmer and let it melt to fill your room with fragrance. I’m not burning…

Someone told me that candles are the perfect gift. Buy ahead, wrap for any occasion, done. I remember being a little repulsed like—what? No agonizing over the gift for hours, no spending slightly too much to avoid appearing cheap? Convenience gift buying? RIDICULOUS!

Shout out to all my fellow Jezzies who read “inexpensive Yankee candles” and thought about how you only get Yankee candles when they're on the clearance endcap at TJ Maxx.

My initial though was “Why is she being a hard ass ”? But her reasoning is sound and her motive is to send a symbolic message. It’s a teachable moment.

Special snowflake syndrome - we walked three miles in six feet of snow, uphill both ways year-round.

Yup teacher sounds totally reasonable here. Like nothing about this assignment sounds like it needed to be done in school. The only legit complaints would be from kids without access to computers or the internet, and I hope she’d accommodate those students.

Welcome to the real world, kids. Nobody gets a break in the age of technology. I love how the one kid exaggerates and pretends like a hoax terror threat somehow equates to “we probably dying.”

Students Upset That They Have to Study = Dog Bites Man.

If you’ve not read The First Wives Club, I highly recommend it. There is some seriously messed up crap with the young artist replacement wife that was (probably) too gross to make it into the movie.

(I live in LA and am LAUSD teacher-affiliated) Lots of stay-at-home parents were offering to take classmates home with them this morning and I know of at least two employers who sent mass texts ok’ing everyone to bring kids to work today.

I wish I did puke, mine comes out the other end.

I’m a nervous pooper. Or more accurately, nerves will make me feel like I’m about to shit myself, even when I don’t actually have to go.

Mine is nervous poo. (Holds head in shame.)

Yes, and she does seem like the anxious sort (I should know!). I don’t throw up when I get anxious, instead the problem runs in the opposite direction... It’s really interesting what stress and anxiety can do to your body. A perverted part of me kind of likes it, because it confirms that I am not imagining my…

I say this to everyone. It’s the curly girl no-’poo system made palatable for boring white women who think not stripping your scalp with shampoo every day is the same thing as being a dirty diseased garbage person.

Black naturalistas have been doing the co-wash for years (washing with conditioner) and it actually is really good for our hair. Maybe it depend on the texture?

Trust someone named Chaz and this is what happens.

Considering pretending to be a baby is pretty big in fetish circles, it’s oddly unsettling that it’s also a mainstream Halloween costume.

I viscerally dislike U2 for a number of reasons, but I have to respect them on this. EoDM wanted to come back, and I’m glad they did. If you haven’t, oh you ephemeral Kinja commenter, watch the Vice interview with Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme, you really should.

me neither! I’m just over ambitious hahahahhaha
