I think “processed” has become quite unfairly a dirty word. It’s thrown about entirely too casually, generally meant to be synonymous with some kind of modern fake food, and yet most of what our ancestors ate was absolutely processed. And processing makes it more practical to get by on less meat. That’s pretty much…

I get so confused when I see Jared Padalecki being called Dean.

haha, wait, what part of Texas are you in? All my buddies down in Htown are freaking the fuck out because the price of oil dropped or some such shit and there have massive layoffs. “Why are you so happy that the price of gas is so low?! People are losing jobs!” “Because I’m making minimum wage, you dipshit, not that…

Ahh I am so jelly. Working at NASA is the dream! I am still in grad school so maybe after I graduate... hopefully. Just don’t go to the eye doctor so you never get the prescription that makes you ineligible. :P I was thinking of just teasing my hair really high so that I look 2 inches taller to qualify, but I don’t…

I really wish they’d done a story on it too! It was so empowering to see that we’re all doing such cool things and not alone!

I think I saw Mars Barbie earlier this week in #girlswithtoys as I was posting photos of the telescope I work on. Super awesome to see all the cool women in STEM in that thread!

My stellar structure professor hated that mnemonic so we used a less sexist one: Only Bad Astronomers Forget Generally Known Mnemonics.

You are my new hero! I always wanted to work at NASA!!!!!!!!

I know a few people who work at one of his companies. They are essentially expected to work 12 hour days and most Saturdays. Seriously. This doesn’t seem too far off to me.

Anyone who actually knows ANYTHING about beer is well-aware of Blue Moons corporate heritage.

Hey, I work at Clue! We just added an option on iOS to turn off the fertile window if you want :)

I don’t think it’s teaching girls to code that is the answer (though it is incredibly noble and laudable!). It’s giving girls and women the support when they get to the tech sector to survive and flourish, to give them support in high school and college where being into tech and science is thought of as uncool.…

So standing on the American flag is wrong but placing it between your crotch is the epitome of respect. Got it.

Throughout it all, several of the assembled black students point out that she’s resisting arrest and speculate what would’ve happened to them if they’d done the same.

Earlier this week I noticed comments, in another story, discussing the Behind Closed Ovens person and racist / classists blog posts from their past. This has really bothered me this week, and makes me feel BCO isn’t coming from a good place anymore. 7 years in movie theater management and 4 years retail management and…

Okay, here’s my manatee story: my parents retired to Florida in the early ‘80s. They were of modest means, but somehow my mother ended up in a very tony bridge club, and soon feared she was totally outclassed. The group met at each others’ houses and, as she discovered to her terror, always had lunch that featured a…

A few years ago I was working as an environment reporter at a small newspaper on the Gulf Coast when some of my buddies from the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries invited me along to cover the release of a rehabilitated sea turtle. I was like, BEST ASSIGNMENT EVER.

When I was 11 I went on a trip to Disneyworld with my family. Luckily for us, a shuttle launch was happening at Cape Canaveral one of the nights we were there, about an hour’s drive away. So, the night of the shuttle launch, after a long day of Disney-ing, we piled into the rental car and drove towards Cape Canaveral.…

"These people can't get to grocery stores that have extensive healthy offerings, and can't afford to buy the ones that are there, and are therefore getting sick! What's our solution, boys?"

I unfollowed Gabbi Gregg and Nicolette Mason on Intagram over their shilling of this shit line. The stuff is BAD.
