A woman gives birth and you run an article about how weird it is because, obviously, the only appropriate thing is to have one child at at time. Anything else is some kind of horror or sci-fi movie. Is this one of the days when Jezebel claims it's not a feminist space? I lose track.

Of course. I actually do a lot of teaching, so feel free to get back at me if you ever have questions about nont-traditional academic stuff.

That is brother-in-law's work. He gave everybody who came to visit a piece, our choice. I like his early work as represented here. It's my sister's way of easing him into retirement.

I have no qualms about wishing bad things on bad people. If that makes me evil, then fuck it. I'm evil. *shrugs*

Surfboart.

I don't think anyone will read this, but here goes:

7$ for the top and 9$ for the skirt! I don't generally buy clothes from Wal-Mart; but as soon as I saw the stripes were the annoying ones- I broke down and got them.

We had people over at our apartment last night. Only 5 friends, plus my husband and myself. We're more of the sink into the couch and watch tv types, reveling in our mutual introversion, and don't usually entertain at our home, so this was a change of pace.

I wish I'd bought two of each piece. I really do enjoy the outfit all on its own; it's simple and comfortable and I don't look like a hobo in it.

That's not clothes that hurt people, that's clothes that hurt whiny overgrown babies. Wear the hell out of it!

Did any of you happen to hear David Brooks on NPR yesterday comparing the people who killed Charlie Hebdo shooters to colleges who fire professors who teach "the Catholic view on homosexuality"? What an unrelenting twat that man is.

They were so great, and smart. A wonderful indie theater near me once had an afternoon Animaniacs marathon during the town fair, and I sat and watched for hours and hours. Did you know that the Nations of the World song lists Tibet and Palestine as nations? Serious political chutzpah, those guys.

I am now one weeks sans tobacco. It helps that I literally don't have money for smokes, but it's something that has been a long time coming.

A lot of guys walk away from relationships and have little or no contact with their kids. All they have to do is shrug their shoulders and say their mom is a bitch. Most folks give them a pass. A woman who walks away from her family is seen as unnatural, a monster. Single dad = hero, single mom = she made her own…

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think it's shitty and unacceptable for anyone to leave their kids behind.

PhD biologist, actually. I'm going to give you some info without giving too much, since the exact details of my position are really unique, though the position itself is not. I finished up my PhD a few years back, working with a variety of questions, many relating to 'big data' and extracting biologically meaningful…

He coasted on his "aristocrats" filthiness for a while but this guy is such an unfunny hack. Commenting on "grandpa getting hit in the nuts" videos is the pinnacle of his career.

I took it more like "a little under 14% of the dudes in that class need to be closely watched." Which was still enough for me to want to hork.

It's gotten pretty wild. I've transitioned off the tenure track and mostly work in 'data science' and, particularly, research planning and helping researchers figure out what data they need to apply for funding, how to store it, how to analyze it, planning computational training for grad students, etc. A lot of…

"Doing a study on a small scale is a way of generating a journal article for your tenure portfolio interest and therefore funding for a larger study."
