In the event of a safety risk airlines find the need to do this, that’s fine, but I hope they will be as discreet and non-judgemental as possible in the application of this rule. I think a lot of the reaction to this is because most of the other airlines in the world who fly the same size of planes have managed to get…

When I was a kid my family travelled to an island off the coast of Australia. The plane seated 10 people and took two passes at the runway before managing a landing on the tiny island as the runway spanned the entire length, bisecting it. Before we got on the plane each passenger was required to pick up all their…

The biggest problem I have with unpaid internships is actually not about those who take them at all, but about those who cannot take them because they need to get paid in order to, you know, live. The market advantage of people who can swing devoting all of their time to not getting paid, and the market advantage of…

yeah, I’ve been thinking all night about how much I want some sort of fluffy white bread-y goodness, and then here comes this picture of this beautiful waffle? Damn you, Jezebel. All that’s in my fridge are vegetables, and all that’s in my cupboard is brown rice and quinoa. But now I desperately need a waffle.

Thank you, I was waiting all night for someone to get it!

The thing about piercings is yes, they hurt quite a bit, but only for a few seconds. Then it’s a dull pain for a couple of days, and for an area that gets as much circulation as that, as long as you treat it gently for a few weeks you’re good. If you remember that you can stand anything for 10 seconds, you’ll get…

That’s so good to know. I recently bought a lipgloss in the jumbo size because the color looked *so* good at the store, and then when I got it home and saw it in my home lighting and office lighting I was like “how did I think this looked so great before????” I totally don’t have the receipt (because I was so…

I’d probably tell her something like, well, we can’t really know for sure until it happens. Some people think that nothing happens, and some people think that there’s a part of you that gets to live on somewhere else with other people who’ve died. Then see what she thinks.

Probably because Proctor & Gamble and Kroger are both headquartered there, so it’s pretty convenient for some of the biggest brands in the country.

I have not gotten in on the beauty box game yet precisely because I’m such a loyal sephora customer. I love to try things in the store before buying, they carry all my favorite brands, and I work the points game so that I never have to buy mascara again. So, this is the news I didn’t even know I was waiting for!

For me it involved a lot of sexing with other guys. I know that’s not everyone’s thing, but it really helped for me—I got a thrill out of the variety, and learning/reminding myself how much fun there was to be had out there with other guys who smell good, have soft hair, whisper sexy things, generally are awesome in…

WTF dude indeed. If he thinks you’re awesome, then he thinks that a feminist is awesome. He’s clearly confused, OR he’s negging you and dragging it out an abnormally long time.

Congratulations on your summer of excellent adulting!

Frito, I’m in the same situation. My initial reaction to Eleanor’s comment was “Howwwwww did you DO it?!” Like you I’ve had comments with hundreds of stars, and hardly any of my comments ever *stay* gray anymore because someone always rescues me, but the powers that be seem happy to let me drift off.

I follow Misty Copeland, I think her handle is @mistyonpointe

oh gosh, yeah she does! She’ll have on of those pop-out ledges over the kitchen sink. I want to grow some herbs there, but I have no doubt the cat will claim it as her own immediately.

Thanks so much! It’s been so nice to be able to commiserate with the Jezzies on this.

I’m sure design kitty will never appreciate the difference between renting and owning, especially since she won’t let us get her any little buddies anyway. We’re still excited though!

Find the other introverts! Then if you go silent for a bit, they’ll understand.

Guys, the saturday night socials are bringing the real estate luck! I was commiserating with a few of you the other week on our awful search and getting beat out by all-cash foreign investors, and we just opened escrow on a house earlier this week!!! Thanks to everyone for their encouragement, and good luck to those…
