I’ve lost two jobs solely based on the reporting of my case. I wish I never was good at swimming or had the opportunity to attend Stanford, so maybe the newspapers wouldn’t want to write stories about me.

Action item:

I went to UGA during undergrad one of the years we were ranked the #1 party school (nbd) and I spent the absolute drunkest years of my life there. I was blacking out on a weekly basis. To this day, I have a lingering shame that I feel anytime I go back to visit. That being said, I never once got even remotely close to…

Countries with stricter gun laws still have violence against women, you do realize that, right? Even if the US outright banned all guns, abusive men there would just find something else.

We are big fans of the head collars like Gentle Leader. It stops the dog from pulling and for dogs with a high prey drive (or just stubbornly excited) it makes it easier to redirect their attention back to you when they see those evil squirrels:

So a girl is not allowed to quote Baby Got Back when talking about her own ass anymore? We have reached peak meaningless outrage.

I honestly don’t think the Oakland thing is that bad. At some point, we have to realize that certain things are thrown around proudly by POC that are not owned by them and that are often used as ways to be inclusive towards people who are not POC. The one thought coming to my head is someone like Cornell West calling…

Except the author changed the article so now it looks like she knew what “Baby Got Back” was all along :-/

Good god, please tell me you know what she is referencing when she says “LA face with an Oakland booty.” Please, please, please. DON’T MAKE ME FEEL OLD.

I’m sure I’ll catch some heat on this, but I dig the Apple Watch as a tracker, more so than the FitBit. I like the display, like how it syncs well with my phone (depending on the app... more on that below) and I like having the ability to put a bit of music on there to have if I don’t want my phone with me. The base…

If you do go to Starbucks regularly, their gold member program is worth it. I get free or discounted breakfast sandwiches and drinks often and their revamped program makes it easier to earn than ever.

Another aspect of the theory I don’t usually see disseminated, but is my personal favorite (maybe because I connected these dots personally before seeing them elsewhere): an admittedly literary symmetry in biology.

Can we invest any thought into the idea that there was some shade behind that slap? After Archie Panjabi leaving, the show going downhill and then the Kings leaving, is there any chance the slap was built into the show as a final little eff you to Margulies? I'm in agreement with Maureen Ryan that the whole…

Oh God are people still on this “trans racial adoption is bad kick”? Will they get over it ever!? Are you serious? This was a debate in 1995 when I became free for adoption! I thought twenty years later people would be over it! Please tell your sister, love , blessings, peace and hair grease. Children need to be…

I think one of the many strengths of this “visual album” is that it reminds people of the lost art of listening to an album, not just a song. The way people download music now it encourages listening to singles, not albums in a consecutive fashion. There were so many powerful aspects of Lemonade, but one of them is…

The whole time I was watching I was texting my friends like “I don’t even like Beyoncé that much, but guys... This is... This is something.” Over and over. I was just planning on listening while I did work but I couldn't tear my eyes away. I don't love most of her music but this entire production was so moving and…

My cousin was a repeat drunk driver. He spent years without a license and even some time in jail. What eventually stopped him? A drug and alcohol program where he confronted his addiction issues. I’m not saying that he shouldn’t have received those other punishments, just that they didn’t really work, and were often…
