I’m more surprised when I can’t find something I’m looking for.

Exactly. They’re talented, and they seem smart. But it’s like they need to survive in the wilderness for a few weeks or make it through the plot of a disaster movie so that they will maybe gain some perspective.

More ammunition for my racist relatives. Not that they needed any. But still...

Ew. Ok so, Dan Bacon is a “nice guy” turned “PUA.” I’m adding him to my Vagenda as well.

NOOOO! That is rage inducing! I’ve actually managed to re-train my face muscles to default glare instead of default smile when someone comes at me unexpectedly. I would hope the look of death I would give someone who tried that on me would be enough to shut that shit down.

Yes! Totally. So I just read the article, and I was about to give the author a tiny bit of credit for acknowledging that some (ahem—many... most?) women wear headphones specifically to avoid talking to people, but then I got to this part:

Dammit! My old strategy was to to wear headphones to keep creepy dudes from talking to me, and that was taken away. Now I can’t even feign having to take a dump to get some privacy! What’s next?

Maybe keep the recording. It will help the future alien archaeologists piece together the events that led to our self-destruction.

“Mr. Trump has continued to denounce David Duke and any group or individual associated with a message of hate,”

I went from 32H to 36K in UK sizes. I literally cannot find any bras larger than this. I’m trying to lose a few pounds in hopes I will shrink back to something more manageable because I don’t want to have to get surgery.

Huh— you’re right. Must just be good designs for stretching. They look good either way.

Yep. I used so much coconut oil, I smelled like a salad all day, and I still got them badly. And I gained only about 18 pounds during my pregnancy (lost fat in the beginning and then gained mostly baby weight). And I definitely did get lots of stretch marks on my boobs and hips during puberty. I just don’t have…

Hahaha! I made that my FB profile pic when I was pregnant. The boobs just got bigger and bigger and I felt like I looked just like that.

Well, at least she can afford to get them fixed afterward. I considered getting a tattoo at one point, but it was too hard to find a place I could easily cover if I wanted to that was unlikely to stretch with weight gain. I can see why the “tramp stamp” was so popular in the 90s, but that’s forever ruined!

She looks gorgeous, but how are those belly tattoos not stretched all to hell? Is that even skin?

Ok, but the worst is when you can’t find one, whatever you call it, and you have to use an actual rubber band, and it rips all of your hair out of your head when you take it out later.

Do you call them ponytail holders or hair ties, tho?

Good luck! I sometimes miss adjuncting, but not often!

I’m only surprised because adjuncts have been working very seriously on getting unionized for at least a decade. They made a little progress at first and then seemed to stall out, particularly as some of the f/t professors started to unionize.

I’m kind of amazed that grad students are managing to get unionized before adjuncts, but at least progress is being made. If it keeps up, hopefully it will spread.
