I am reeeeally late to the party, but I am slowly discovering yoga clothing. I used to come home from work and just go straight to pajamas because COMFORT, which got me weird looks when I was at the grocery store, library, or dog park at 6pm in a matched pajama set (I never wore it to my fave bar so apparently I do…

The furniture I inherited from my childhood bedroom still has the attachment to lock it to the wall on the back, but that’s because I was really accident prone as a kid and my sister was an aspiring mountaineer. If a two year old climbs high enough on anything, it will fall over. Sometimes I wonder how we survived!

Oh gawd that sounds terrifying. I'm glad your friend was there to help you and that your son was okay!

The worst is when they would start to die and just chose the most gawd awful places and times to give up the ghost. You’d be out rowing on the river in the early morning thinking ‘oh what a lovely day!’ And then all these mayflies would take that opportunity to die and fall out of the sky—sticking to your sweaty body,…

As a tenure-track faculty member, fitting marriage and pregnancy and children into my career has been the hardest part of realizing I have accidentally become an academic (shame me all you want, but I always wanted to work for a while and then be a stay-at-home mom until I got sucked into this...and now I am not sure…

And if you visit Florida, you should visit Weeki Wachee. The shows are wonderful, the park embraces it’s campiness, the mermaids are friendly, the riverboat tour is interesting, the water slide is fun albeit short, the spring is quite refreshing, and it’s way cheaper than Disney.

I’m a big “yay teamwork, yay supporting, yay community, yay kumbaya around the bonfire while holding hands” softie, so I would have likely caved to his request and then regretted it forever. It’s really refreshing to hear her say ‘nope, this is a race and I am going to fuckin’ win it’ and then care so little about the…

This! I’ve tried the whole dry shampoo thing when camping, but if a good workout leaves you drenched and you also sweat like a Starbucks iced tea just by going outside because the south is one big sauna all summer long, you’re going to need something stronger than dry shampoo or people will stop sitting next to you on…

And why is Jenny all dressed up and he’s slumming it in a polo and baseball cap? I mean, yes it’s a kid’s movie premiere and not Oscar bait movie premiere, but if your lady is going to work hard to look nice and professional the least you can do is wear a nice button-down! Or if you had to be casual, a button-down…

I judge people I date by whether or not they can drive stick and I judge strangers on the road by what they stick on the back of their car (“Flo-grown”? Twenty Mickey Mouse earred stick figure children? Really?). I also chose the places I live based on whether my neighbors drive similar cars to me. It's weird.

I once overheard a doctor making fun of a patient’s daughter who had asked about the possibility of a brain transplant for her mother. It made me uncomfortable, because you could clearly see that the daughter was so distraught over the thought of losing of her mother that she was looking for any possible (or in this…

The running joke of her past songs mentioning specific various exes is starting to get old though, with everyone over analyzing EVERY SINGLE lyric. I want her to write a song about her relationship with a fake boyfriend like astronaut Mike Dexter, just to mess with everyone’s minds.

From a previous job, I can tell you that undergrads and graduate students can be just as ridiculous. My favorite was a student who asked for “security footage from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln” (yes, we double checked with him a few times, it’s what he wanted). We politely suggested some other information…

Someone needs to make a gif of the lady behind him rolling her eyes when he says he’s “shocked that it actually happened”.

B. “Sir, Gibraltar is on the phone and wants to know what will happen next.”

I mean, if the popularity of the Bugs Bunny gif of Florida being cut off from the US on pretty much any post about Florida is any indication, I don’t think the rest of the US would mind? We’d just have to keep the vote out of the hands of those nuisance alligators, you know they’d vote against the majority just to be…

That’s what scares me most. Brexit looked completely xenophobic and bonkers, particularly from an economic and global standpoint. Trump looks completely xenophobic and bonkers, particularly from an economic and global standpoint. If Brexit passed, what does that mean for us? Is this the new world order?

Anderson Cooper

This. And make sure you really aware of the issues and the players when you vote, not just going off the shiny ads and the signs that your neighbor put in their yard.

I have a friend who had a female friend who survived a home invasion so he’s very concerned that I don’t have a weapon to keep me safe (I live alone on the edge of some woods). I told him my game plan in case of bad guys was to throw the dog (a territorially snarly Pom) at their faces and run, but I do carry pepper…
