Most creative writing teachers/professors I’ve had in high-school/college taught to only use ‘said’ unless you needed to convey heightened tone like ‘yelled’ or lowered tone like ‘muttered.’

Fuck, man. This is far truer than you could imagine. Half of my students stumble through basic compositions with a goddamn word salad of boring-ass, cliche ideas, and then the rest try to pepper their essays with miserably butchered ten-cent words. It’s like reading a Mike Tyson interview, except about Catcher in the…

Have you ever once had to do manual long division in your day job? Serious question. Let alone anything you learned in geometry or calculus.

But I bet you write things that have to look and sound professional every day. There’s no reason problem-solving and critical thinking skills have to be taught in the context of…

In fact, Kasich has a record of supporting legislation that punishes women for being sexually active.

Almost everything I’ve read today (especially if it involves a Republican or god-fearing whatsit) has made me want to peel the skin off my face because it’s so. fucking. ludicrous. This douche, the douche who supports “American” shops and you can tell they’re American-owned because of the skin color of the people…

I hate him.

Right. Because noone asks the question of, “Why are boys (and in many instances, men) taking advantage of 15 year old girls?”

Looks like you need this

“You know what the values tell you? Why are you 15-years-old and letting some boy take advantage of you?”

Also, for fuck’s sake women need to take hormonal birth control for more than just preventing pregnancy. So, okay fine. We all use condoms to prevent babies, but that doesn’t help the women who need bc to regulate their cycle, prevent cancer, relieve PCOS and endometriosis, help prevent acne and PMS/PMDD... the list…

thanks for that mental image, is it too early for whiskey?

Last I checked,we don’t have a rubber shortage in America. When I was in college we had a machine in the bathroom, you put 50 cents in and voila!

Wonderfully said.

Mark it: 9:41 AM Eastern Standard Time, December 1st 2015. The day “Let’s Pizza” entered my everyday vocabulary

How do they not understand the manifold reasons women take birth control above and beyond avoiding pregnancy? (WHICH IS ALSO TOTALLY REASONABLE?!?) I realized the other day how many reasons there are to need hormonal birth control when I longed to be on Implanon again because it made my periods regular. I got off of…

(I’m kind of OK with duplicate articles, honestly, if it keeps me off the Gawker mainpage.)

“Let’s pizza” indeed!

We call it a War on Women precisely because assholes like you think forcing a woman to make a man wear birth control is preferable to giving her control over her own body after private consultation with her doctor.

Of course, he’s a guy who thinks we should protect our country by forcing other countries to wear our…

from gawker’s converage (why are there constantly duplicate articles?)
