I'm going to be blunt.

So you're truly sticking to your story that she chose to put people at risk of Ebola because she's so crazy about weddings (women, amirite?). Like she actively was like WHO DA FUQ CARES ABOUT EBOLA?! I need to get this wedding planned! Because that's how everything you've written on this sounds. It's fucking absurd.

It seems like the Health Department is just pandering to the general public's hysteria at this point. According to the CDC website, "Ebola on dried on surfaces such as doorknobs and countertops can survive for several hours; however, virus in body fluids (such as blood) can survive up to several days at room…

Well, in light of the reports that nurses who cared for Duncan were also instructed by their employer to continue to care for other patients in the hospital, it's easy to understand why she thought it was fine to fly.

"So Vinson didn't know she was definitively ill when she headed to Cleveland, nor did she know for sure that there was a problem when she was given the go-ahead from the CDC. Fine. But she knew she was at risk of contracting Ebola from the second she first laid eyes on Duncan, and as a medical professional she knew…

I would imagine that this nurse was given all manner of assurances by her employer that it was perfectly safe to be taking care of Duncan and that she had nothing to worry about. she called the CDC and they told her to go ahead and fly. in hindsight, it's easy to criticize, but when you are told over and over again by…

I think the hospital and CDC protocols failed here. I am not willing to blame this woman, who very well could have a death sentence. We keep hearing how difficult it is to get Ebola because it's not airborne. We keep hearing that the media is fear-mongering.

I made the engagement chicken after a million conversations about us getting married came to nothing and because I am pathetic. It did not work.

Seriously. One of my friends wanted a courthouse wedding and a backyard reception. She had to have the blowout because her fiancee's family threw a fit. Another friend wanted a small outdoor wedding/reception-both families wanted a traditional church wedding so guess what she had. It's not like either of these women…

The ice cream maker. The bowl is always in the freezer and I can make ice cream (hah..okay. Lemon-vodka sorbet. Lime-tequila sorbet. Frozen Brandy Alexander) in minutes.

Maybe we should start exterminating the wolf population. That's what we would do in any other situation.

Or.... people with more disposable income are more likely to be able to leave marriages they are unhappy in?

And here you can see a fine example of the female Midwestern undergrad. Notice her bright summer plumage has been shed for a thick coat to prepare for the cold winters and to further discourage predators. Her head on a constant swivel as she stops to take a drink, she knows that danger is around every on-campus…

I don't know why white people should feel that their privilege is threatened. Women are a numerical majority and it hasn't ended patriarchy.

I'm really looking forward to a time when giving directions I can tell people to avoid Ronald Reagan Boulevard. I hope I live long enough to see it.

It's nice of these guys to give the women around them such a clear and undeniable red flag. Most people have to wait weeks or even months to figure out that a guy is a piece of shit, they're really saving us all a lot of time here.

First you stop teaching science in schools. Then you trumpet personhood and call women who get abortions murderers. Then you criminalize miscarriage. Then you have assholes who know nothing about how reproduction actually works declare themselves in charge of both regulating it and explaining it to the idiot…

This right here is why I really hate the mentality that I need to give a reason for or "excuse" my abortion. It's my business, and they can fuck off why. If you try to justify it all it does is give them grist for their mill. Just like anything else medical, "nunya business" is enough.

As an archaeologist myself, I have to remind you that archaeology is based on the recognition of patterns drawn from as much cultural, temporal, and geographical data as is possible. Ritual activity may sound like a pat answer, especially when it's not presented with all of the information behind it (as is almost…
