Osha being all “oh, you don’t eat the people you flay? Then I’m not impressed” was a great note to go out on.

The whole burning down the house seen was stupid. So, she knocks over a few charcoal burners and the whole thing goes up in flames and kills everyone? Thing doesn’t have a servants entrance?

CRIED CRIED CRIED when Jon and Sansa ran to each other. It was so satisfying and bittersweet.

I’m so glad this is here - I read this announcement this morning and had no one to titter with. That an article about a couple of feminists started off with the gendered phrase “shrinking violet” perfectly set the tone for the rest of the announcement. I couldn’t ever decide if the writer was clueless or just trolling…

WTF KENDRA JESUS.

Seriously, KStew gets heat (deservedly) for doing his shitty film, but this is the first mention of Steve Carrell? Fuck him. He’s older, wiser and he has daughters. There is NO EXCUSE for him here. Not a fan anymore.

My brother went to boarding school and when I was talking to him yesterday, he told me all kinds of crazy ass stories about sexual shenanigans at his school. One involved his lacrosse coach and a fifteen year old, and when it came out, the coach shot himself in the head on campus. His roommate had sex with the art…

“Over the last 10 or 15 years, there’s been a growing openness to acknowledge and investigate past abuse in all kinds of youth-serving institutions,” he writes. “That’s a healthy development, even if it means that today’s school leaders must grapple with abuse cases—and organizational missteps—from the past, when…

AND THIS
“I’ll be missing the entire concept of the word, the idea of a parent who doesn’t just sacrifice—as all parents must—but also doesn’t hold that sacrifice against their children.”

This is why Bernie is still in the race, and I’m glad that he is. His message matters to a lot of people and it’s good to keep them engaged in this cycle.

Oh, so close to want I really want

republicans thrive on low voter turnout.

I haven’t announced this to my family yet but I’m bursting with excitement and anxiety and nerves so I just have to tell someone

Proper training and regulation! Yay! Integration into the regular medical community! Woot!

Thank you. I am also a TA (three weeks away from my doctorate) and I have taught college classes for years. “I feel like” is merely an expression. It means, “I think.” Just as “I was like” is an expression that means “I said” or “I felt.” People (mostly men) who pretend that they don’t understand these phrases, or…

Yeah, in writing I urge my students to be as precise as they can when articulating a point, but when it comes to speaking in class or informal assignments, I’m not concerned with how they preface their ideas unless it’s clear that there’s some sort of problem. And I absolutely agree that you can build upon your…

It is not a “millennial” thing. People often use “I feel” as a qualifier when they have less power than the person they are speaking to - and are afraid of being shut down or dismissed. Most often, I hear it when someone is speaking to their boss or someone who has more authority in the work place.

Hmm. Interesting. My boss recently told me that I come across as too aggressive, so in order to “make people want to work with me” I should hedge more. And the exact example she gave was: instead of saying “This is a problem” I should say “I feel like maybe this could be a problem.”

I think that’s easy to say when it doesn’t affect you. When your hobbies, your job, and your very existence becomes some kind of political statement where you must dedicate your lives to “proving them wrong” while everyone else gets to just go out and do their job like a normal person, it’s actually not as much fun as…

Young boys are groomed for this shit, young girls aren’t. That’s just a fact of life, unfortunately families especially wealthy ones usually groom their son’s for this kind of sports. Meanwhile their daughters are given and education(depends) but aren’t groomed or pushed into sports because it’s a “boy thing”. When…
