I agree that those episodes were... relatively ok. But Gaiman didn't write them. That's what I was alluding to. They were almost certainly ghost written by Moffat or several other people. Because Gaiman doesn't screen write. So, they are literally hiring make believe writers (because, while there is a real person and…

Do you plan on staying with your husband? If the answer is yes then don't tell him. There is absolutely nothing he could gain from knowing that his wife wants to bone other dudes. (Not that there's necessarily anything wrong or abnormal with having those thoughts, but he doesn't need to know.)

That's sad, because my comment is in the grey and it's awesome. Spoiler alert: I shit on Neil Gaiman.

The bigger story, if you actually know anything about Dr. Who, is that since it's reboot eight years ago only one woman has ever written for the show. (A total of two story lines.) There actually have been several women who've directed for the show, if not in the recent past, over the course of the last eight years.…

If you're interested in working with literature as a librarian then what you're probably interested in is being a subject librarian. That's the old fashioned name for librarians that curate collections (besides doing a million other things). It's really the only kind of position that exists inside a library that…

Honestly, I think you're expending to much energy thinking about this. Just let her use BC/AD and focus your energy on assessing her actual analysis/memory. I took a lot of art history in college, and it was A LOT of memorization and pattern recognition. So focus on that. If she can remember everything and correctly…

Dreams really do come true.

Jezebel, get a fucking science writer. It will help you to stop concern-trolling women with anecdata. Because that's what this is... concern-trolling via anecdata reinforced with a choice quote or two from some random individual doctor. Even if you only engage in casual science reading you should have heard by now…

Jezebel, get a fucking science writer. It will help you to stop concern-trolling women with anecdata. Because that's what this is... concern-trolling via anecdata. Even if you only engage in casual science reading you should have heard by now that 1) the melanoma scare is soooo five years ago and 2) the dermatological…

I'm sorry... but I can't take seriously the comparison between the situation of girls in math classes and boys in humanities classes. Because, while little boys might be expected to fuck up in their humanities classes WHILE they're still little boys, the humanities is still %100 dominated by adult men. %100. Our…

I'm sorry. But every Jew (from your grandma to your rabbi to your friend's rabbi) has a different explanation of that tradition. I've heard that it's about vanity, I've heard that it protects the person in mourning from their own grief, and I've also heard weird mystical things. I don't believe that anyone really…

A few things off the top of my head that I can't take:

It's both. I'm sorry. But it is. I brought this up on the last article on this topic but I'll bring it up again to make this point. Lots of women who took part in the peace protests, the civil rights marches, the environmental rights marches, and student protests in the US during the sixties and seventies were raped…

You know that they allow HIV positive people and people with AIDS to get married, right?

For a second I thought that they cast married couples in trojan ads. Which really squicked me out.

These pants will be good for those of us with proteus syndrome.

OMG guys I got this covered. Motivational sticker kits! We insert in the condom boxes a little booklet and a sheet of stickers (maybe gold stars) that men can use to record their condom wearing triumphs. So, every time a man wears a condom and manages to not do physical harm to their partner they can record the event…

Well, this does look fairly awful in the trailer. BUT, Silver Linings Playbook looked AWFUL in the trailers. (Remember how they cut the trailers for SLP so that everyone's deluded ranting would look like it was part of an inspiring speech.) I feel like this could story could go two ways: 1. A mature woman who's not…

To be fair, though, basketball is the worse.

Off topic, but did you have to read the Nyiszli account? I am still traumatized by that. And, mostly, by the fact that Mengele, and most people, got away with it all.
