My sister had that! She also built a stunning dreamhouse out of cardboard boxes, complete with elevator made of plastic strawberry baskets and yarn. My own favourite doll, Miko (anyone remember her?) had a houseboat made of a shoe box that she sailed across the carpet.

Yes, pretty AND useful! And it will still be trendy and relevant when the anti-vaxxers lead to a new wave of mumps.

I don't think that's called a unicorn.

I know, I do. But I do think it is worth highlighting those who are on the right side of things even when they are a small minority.

This shit is getting ridiculous. You don't agree with the woman, fine. No one ever said she was a saint or perfect or her word was gosphel. But you're going to threaten to commit the biggest school shooting in history over this? REALLY!?

It is remarkable to me how quickly they come. They must have alerts set up on her name so they can show up and be childish. I'm so fucking sick of reading their bullshit. Video games. They're threatening to murder people over video games. Jesus Christ. Go volunteer, go see people with ACTUAL problems.

You don't know that with certainty. Someone with the proper permits would never shoot her? That's overly simplistic thinking. One can obey some laws and not others. I think she was brave to even consider speaking. She has had her life threatened many times and continues to advocate.

I still think 7 Billion people is way beyond the carrying capacity of the environment. What you're suggesting changing, our habits of consumerism, is about artificial increases in carrying capacity. So, I would say that doesn't really alter my response at all.

This entire piece is blind allegiance to the command "multiply and be many." That's really the problem with conservative Christian views of sexuality in general. They assume we still live in a world where it is ethically and morally permissible to reproduce with reckless abandon (as long as we do so within their…

How else are they supposed to offer those "free smells" without exploiting the fuck out of their employees so much that they actually seriously consider having an anarchist group as their union?

I also went to a Catholic school. In our sex ed class, we were given a list of conceptive devices with their rates of failure, basically to show that even the pill only worked 97% of the time so the only thing that is 100% effective is abstinence. And of course, the Church believes that every time a married couple has…

I never realized Corgis didn't have tails. That big pink anus is mesmerizing.

Mark, I find it delightful that you run both the Squee! stories and the brain bleach-worthy sex stuff. The breadth of your authorial expertise is pretty impressive.

It's a long road to slog, but for your sake, and the sake of the institution, I FOR DAMN SURE HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT AND THEY SEE IT.

Yeah just waiting for the giant wave of professors, librarians, secretaries, administrators to go out on maternity leave. It would be a funny form of protest if everyone got pregnant this year....I have a feeling they don't actually want to pay for maternity leave for every female employee to have 15 kids. I mean,…

"It's my body and it should be my choice."

GOD DAMMIT ND GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

:( Because that thing looks perfect as a little breakfast banquet. Or a breakfast buffet for just your table.

I know, right? And they are asking me about eggs when I am thinking of my differential equation! What's an egg, even???

I read an interview with her - I believe she actually bought the rights to produce the movie, and she wanted to be Amy. However, she realized she wasn't right for the role and thought better to just be the producer. I think Reese can do dramas, but I don't think she would have been as good as Rosamund Pike. I mean,…
