I need three buttons on any site that allows you to "like" or "recommend" something: "fuck you" "like" and "not only would I bear your children but I'd also pick you up at the airport AND help you move". Your last comment just got the third one, in my head.

I actually went to school to be a teacher and couldn't find a job when the economy took a tank, so now I'm in IT, but I'm still really passionate about this stuff. And I know this isn't exact, but tests are so clearly weighted for a white male perspective that it made sense most of the time to include gender, and…

THIS.

I read (and sometimes write) a lot about Native and First Peoples' rights, I spent a lot of time in college working on projects to repatriate land and help create working dictionaries for dying Native languages, and the whole Pendleton issue was always a point of discussion in my academic circles. You expressed…

So did I. It just added another layer of holy crap who are you people.

I love them. I hate doing laundry, and they make me smile so it's a little less of a bummer to trek down to the basement laundry room.

Don't use fabric softener at all, is my vote. If you have to, get sheets from Seventh Gen or something similar. I've got insane eczema and really sensitive skin, and I use All Free pods (live in an apartment building and they're awesome and easy) and tennis balls or these guys in the dryer instead of fabric…

Oh I'm a huge TLC cynic, totally. But June just seems savvy in ways that I really respect. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I don't think they could make her out to be the personality she is, even if they worked hard. She's too nuanced to have been created.

There was an anti-choice group picketing a busy street in downtown Chicago a few weeks back. Every quarter block on either side of the street, another graphic sign that was at least six feet tall and four feet wide, some of them held up by children as young as ten or twelve. I wanted to punch someone.

Judging by the wording, they might actually be saying "We don't want kids to see what we put on our signs, but we won't stop protesting because that's our right."

I agree with this. One of my coworkers had to go to a sex-reveal party a few weekends back. Seriously. So, on top of a baby shower and expecting push presents from her friends (?!?!?!) this woman was arrogant and selfish enough to demand that everyone show up to a SECOND event with a THIRD gift. She wore a blue…

I dunno, TLC makes a lot more money off shitty parents than good ones, as far as I can tell. The publicity over bullying/her health/their money would have been much bigger because people love to judge each other and especially those they deem 'lesser'.

It depends on what kind of tattoo (saturated black/colors hurt me more than the grayscale/lighter work that I've had done), location (my foot hurt more than my hip or my spine, my dad claims the inside of the upper arm is the worst), and personal pain tolerance. One of my friends puts it this way, which I think is…

Seriously, she always strikes me as a really good role model for her kids. When she talked about starting to take her health seriously, and what they do with the money they make...she's reasonable and down to earth and not afraid of the fact that she's a human being with needs and bodily functions. I don't like the…

I know someone else said this in another thread but I think there's a difference. Snarking that the author doesn't like the choices a stylist made when dressing a fab and pretty young lady is not the same thing as telling her she looks terrible.

The onlyreason I know about it is because someone was fat-fingering their own phone number while trying to rent an apartment out in CA and for almost a month I was getting a lot of texts on my Google Voice number about it. When trying to find an easy way to alert me to that kind of search result, I found IFTTT, and…

I could be wrong (it's been known to happen) but is there any real difference between this and setting up an IFTTT alert? I'm not a fan of signing up for more services than I need, and if you've already got IFTTT set up you can set up Craigslist alerts easily.

I went to school to be a teacher, but couldn't find a job after the economy tanked, so right now I'm basically running tech support and documentation for the technology arm of an international tax/consulting firm. I tell my friends it's like how Ben Wyatt was going to be an accountant for accountants. So this is…

Not really relevant (sorry!) but I love hearing about the variety of jobs that other Jezzies have, especially in STEM fields. RNA samples! Milli-Q water! How exciting!

My bigger question is how long has this been going on. Most of the reports seem to be relatively recent (the last few years, many of them since his election) and I can't help but wonder if something shifted or changed inside of him that resulted in this. If they guy had no history of this kind of pervasive sexual…
