Me either but I guess it might explain wht I rarely smell even after profuse sweating. I have to do a pretty intense workout to even begin to sweat though.

Uhh no it won't. The $18 shampoo I was using (salon brand) dried out my hair. I looked like a brillo pad.

My mom calls that "el baño de la niña Lola". I do that too. And outside of eczema that only flares when it's very dry out, my skin is glorious for it. No acne, no itching, no flaking, and little to no BO.

Not who you were talking to but...I found a lot of "moisturizers" make my eczema worse and/or I'm allergic to some ingredients. I stick with Lubriderm (unscented) or Johnson's baby lotion (it's hypoallergenic) and use it at least once a day. In the dry summers here, I have my hydrocortisone on standby and use vaseline.

My hair barely fits in a shower cap. It usually starts falling out about halfway through even if I tie it up with a haie tie and pins. I have 2+ feet of thick, curly hair. It's heavy. Less than 2 good hair ties can't homd it for very long. That and the humidity causes frizzing even with a shower cap. My hair will come…

I only use shampoo once a week to wash away any dry skin flakes I might have (I got the winning hair combo of thick 3c curls you could floss with, dry hair, and eczema on my scalp). I condition 3 times a week and clean my scalp with that, but once a week I do sulfate free shampoo to clean out any hair product residue…

My hair is super dry, and I have eczema on my scalp. Washing my hair more than twice a week causes severe flaking and sometimes my scalp will scab or tear if it's too dry. The rest of my skin isn't as dry but if I shower more than every other day, the skin on my nose will scale and flake and the eczema patches on the…

They didn't mention Jeff Hannman of Slayer (who has actually won a couple Grammys) or Clive Burr of Iron Maiden, so that doesn't explain it to me at all as a metal fan.

Yeah I didn't even need to guess that it was Shawn aka "Clown".

Wow, way immature of her. She reads as having the maturity of the 8th graders I subbed for this week—needlessly combative, rude, and completely blind to any fault tgey may have. I applaud you for handling it so well. Sometimes I wonder why I keep coming back to read Jez, but then I remember that the comments are…

I was diagnosed last year at the age of 24. I've had it my whole life but a combo of my mom not believing in psych meds at the time and me getting good grades kept me from getting tested as a kid. I went through 3 psychiatrists who refused to even test me until I was stable (I was diagnosed bipolar at 19). Finally my…

Speaking as the person with depression issues and also a demi-sexual, you can't and you probably shouldn't. Feeling rejected is terrible, but the other side if it is being stron-armed into sex and/or feeling guilty for not being able to perform. When my husband tries this, I either end up feeling used (if i give in),…

Definitely agree. I went to UC Berkeley and came into contact with those types often. There always was an uncomfortable, unspoken exclusion of POC from discussions on feminism even despite the large POC activist communities on campus. Feminist topics were nearly always dominated by white upper-middle class women.

Ditto. It's happened to me 3-4 times. I'm POC and from a family of illegal immigrants. It's awkward, uncomfortable, and a bit rage-inducing to have a white person tell me that I need to be more educated on racism. It's so presumptuous, classist, and dare I say racist to be condescended in such a way tgat assumes I…

Couldn't agree more. I find any race discussion here makes me facepalm with the amount of comments that are obviously from a place of privilege. I enjoy a lot of the discussion in comments otherwise, but when it comes around to race and class, it often feels like an echo chamber of white privilege.

Would you say the same to someone who asked you to not use "gay", "fag", or "retard" as a slur? Excuse me for making you realize your "joke" was offensive. It must be so hard to live in a world where people take offense when you use their serious illness like a slur. Must be so hard on you.

Just because your friend is okay with it, doesn't mean every person with bipolar will be. It's not funny when an illness I have is attributed to horrible people as if it explains their behavior. Limbaugh is a terrible human being, but bipolar disorder isn't the cause of it.

Can we not use mental illness as an insult? As someone with bipolar disorder, I don't want any kind of link to hhis behavior.

Their SciShow and Crash Course series are amazing as well as Hank's Lizzie Bennet Diaries (I'm going to be using them as teaching aids next year)

I started watching him around the time he came out with the Shamwoohoo
