It's totally gross. But lots of schools don't want to shell out the money for a interview suite and they also don't want to do the interview cattle-call style in a ballroom. Hence, the room with the bed. Short solution (that is also totally unfair): if you're a lady interviewing, don't wear a skirt, especially one…

At the same time, when you type "linguistics" into the current 2014 program, 29 search results come up. And I definitely saw notice for one linguistics association meeting at Boston last year. Seems like an understandable point to confuse.

You can rent it on amazon.

I saw this documentary recently and it was one of the best docs I've ever seen. And it was dumb of Sea World not to participate in it. Because as much as I think these parks should not exist — and that killer whales in particular have no business being placed in bathtubs — Sea World could have easily turned this into…

I was born in San Antonio, TX and I continue to live here because it's one of the most diverse cities I've ever been in. Our population is over 60% Latino. We have the best food, the best basketball, the best museums and research centers for indigenous and Tejano cultures. The rest of the country is under a sheet of…

Let's not put the whole of the women's movement on the shoulders of one very privileged white lady. To do so suggests a very narrow understanding of what the movement for "equal rights" entails to begin with.

Sure, the internet is the problem. But you'll have to wrench Love My Dress from my cold, carpal-tunnelled hands.

Wow, what a hard decision for your mom. I think the fact we generally have to travel further speaks a lot to the difference in women's lives between our generation and our mother's/grandparents generations. For middle-class families, it seems much more common to leave your hometown now — whether that's for college,…

As a bride, I also have moral qualms with the idea of receiving gifts; my fiance and I don't deserve to be congratulated like we've actually accomplished something. We haven't. We got lucky and we found each other and we love each other. But we don't deserve gifts because of that. Sure, "gifts are customary." You know…

Personally, I would love to go to a potluck wedding because I love cooking for my friends. But it would have to be so that out of towners wouldn't be obligated. This was totally the wedding my parents had and I would have loved to have been there!

I think the problem is that weddings historically have been communal events — pretty much a universal excuse to get drunk and feast (i.e. the theme for my upcoming nuptials). But the WIC makes it so the wedding becomes divorced from community and instead becomes all about the bride — all the me, me, me. That's the…

I only give gifts at local weddings. If I have to spend hundreds of dollars on airfare and then hundreds of dollars on two nights in a hotel and then another $60 on renting a car to get to your rustic vintage barn wedding in upstate New York, plus money lost from taking time off from work, then, no, I'm not buying you…

This just reminded me of Carrabba's!! I love them, and am about to go google map my nearest location. Saturday night plans = done.

Spot on. And she's dangerous because she has such a platform in Slate — which she really only has because she's married to the editor.

I'll be honest — part of me is thrilled that Rosin is finally getting called out on this shit. I used to listen to her podcast on slate and I had to stop because it really should be called "White People Problems." All she and her cronies ever do is talk about things like 'having it all' and wedding registries. Anytime…

I really don't get how Kelly Osborne is still in the industry. I watch Fashion Police and I don't think she contributes anything that George Katsiopolous (#lovehim) doesn't already deliver in spades. That's just my cranky rant for the day.

That's brilliant —I'm on pins and needles waiting for the baby sacrifice episode. Everyone in matching Vera Wang, Ryan Seacrest emceeing the event, brother Rob being grumpy, but ultimately saying that the klan has reached kapacity. I'd DVR that.

I agree —- tell her. I'd say you have wrestled over this, that you really don't want to hurt her happiness, but that you would want to know if you were in her position. She could probably get an annulment if there was evidence he was doing this on their wedding day.

I feel like I need to go brush my teeth after reading this from her FATHER. Ew.

Yeah, this is fucked up. The bullier doesn't come out of this shamed or remorseful — he comes out of this validated. It doesn't make them feel repentant or apologetic. Instead, they get to think, 'hey, I know what I did was wrong, but it made you better in the end. So I did you a favor by calling you a fat cow.'
