This all reminds me of the fella who ranted a bit about sholarships being exclusively for “females and miorities”, and when I asked him to elaborate he stood up in class, pointed at me, and shrieked that I was taking my seat from a more deserving male. I was carrying an A in that class, and the class wasn’t even full,…

I’m sorry to hear that you feel unwelcome at times. That being said, as a white girl who grew up in a neighborhood where my mom and I were literally the only white people? I call BS. Either that or you were being an asshole and that’s why you were made to feel uncomfortable. I have walked into a room of all PoC many,…
The real conundrum is the fact that, at least for me, It is my work schedule that causes me to disrespect my body’s natural sleep cycle during the week, and my weekend schedule is more natural. I work the typical, roughly 9-5 schedule. If I didn’t have to worry about working, I would naturally go to sleep at 1-2am and…

“This will be the last Behind Closed Ovens to appear on Kitchenette. It will not, however, be the last Behind Closed Ovens. Starting next Monday, November 30, the series will continue on Wonkette.”
DAMNIT!! THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I DON’T START OUT IN THE GREYS.
For those who don’t know, here’s a nice article from Huffington Post describing the changes at Gawker (including the loss of Kitchenette):
Pinkham, I am not going to lie, yours was a blog I had looked forward to commenting on each week, and during the typical Monday struggles of a mundane office job your posts brightened my mornings. It was your blog where a comment of mine reached over 200 stars for the first time, and I had looked forward to the day I…
and they’d rightly be slapping your wrists in handcuffs and taking you in.
