preach about unionization but for a lot of people it’s not merely a career, so they won’t quit. it’s a shame that admin doesn’t understand, or rather, does understand and manipulates, the passion that academics have for their field and commitment to higher education, but many of us would rather get a side gig and keep

Mark Regnerus is warning women that no one buys the cow when it gives the milk away for free.

Charlie is Jessica Walter.

Still always baffled over people (especially non-white people) who watched Sex and the City.

I feel bad for anyone that dates Emily in the future.

Man, Hallmark makes a card for every occasion!

I blame about 40-60% of my childhood trauma on Hugh Hefner so I can’t say that I’m in mourning. My father thought it was a funny and novel idea to tack pictures of Playboy centerfolds in the bathrooms at our summer cabin, so every time I had to pee I would be staring down a voluptuous bunny giving me a come hither

Why did you have to include the gingerbread house smashing in the abuse allegations, Rob?! I have never laughed at someone’s spousal abuse situation till this moment. Go ahead and crucify me, my fellow jezzies!!! The image is Chyna tearing through a gingerbread house will not leave my head.

And now, as American anti-choice advocates inevitably try to insert themselves into this debate, we get to find an answer to the eternal question; what does the American right-wing hate more; abortion, or the existence of more foreigners?

Every time I hear about that ridiculous law I think of that time Queen Elizabeth took King Abdullah for a tour of one of her properties and insisted on doing all the driving herself while he rode shotgun.

There’s a hashtag for assholes to complain about this news (حريم_بيتي_لن_يقودوا#—the women of my house will not drive), but, well:

My brother works for Aramco in Saudi Arabia and he and his family live on an American-style compound there. On the compound, women can drive, wear whatever they want, etc. So my sister-in-law drives all over the compound. But one day, she accidentally took a wrong turn and had to drive out of the compound to turn

Just in case anyone is curious... I am not pregnant, nor am I expecting to be anytime soon. Thank you for your time.

I don’t get why so many white (ostensibly liberal) guys are being such dicks about this story on Twitter i.e. making jokes about how women can now drive to their own stonings.

A good question:

Oh man, does this mean we can finally focus on women’s issues in the US without trolls mansplaing (manbitching?) about how women are really oppressed in the middle east and we need to shut up already about demanding equal pay and no cat calling?

My niece had a baby a couple of years ago. She lives in a big city, 5 minutes from a state of the art hospital, where she wanted to have her baby. BUT- she wound up having the baby at home with a midwife, which she did not want to do, because she had an insurance policy with a $5000 deductible and the midwife charged

As somebody who just gave birth at NYU Hospital in NYC, I would have much rather given birth with a midwife in a private setting. For me the hospital just over medicalized everything and made problems where there weren’t any to begin with. I had a horrible, traumatic birth in a hospital. That being said, I know that

South Park is itself symptomatic. It’s so busy as a show smugly looking down on everything that it doesn’t take a stand on anything. It’s easier to sit on a fence and make fun of everyone than to have principles.
