Extra fun fact: DHS was created by grouping together dozens of departments and agencies - all existing other other agenciy umbrellas - but as DHS divisions, those 180,000 civil servants could no longer be unionized. So Bush.

I have a new comment I’m starting to use on Facebook. “I’m glad I read your profile before I went ahead and wasted a perfectly good logical argument on you.”

Paul Ryan’s too stupid to get the irony that he quoted a Canadian singer-songwriter who, by virtue of his citizenship, has universal health care.

I will say dating online in your 20s is MUCH different than in your 40s/50s. I used it in my 20s and had soooo many choices. Once you age out it’s a totally different story.

Maybe have a look at your state’s department of human rights website — see what your rights are with respect to time off for medical reasons and medical info privacy. Not saying what she’s done is specifically not okay (I don’t know all the details), but I feel for you and I want you to be able to have that info in…

Hi friends! This week I took a big and risky leap by quitting my day job to focus full time on launching a new civic action website for feminists. I’ve raised money to hire a graphic designer for the site and have savings and some side gigs to survive financially myself but it’s still a bit scary overall. Anyone else…

Make sure everything is packed up so that you can move it in one trip! If you leave anything “it’s just small we can get it later” - the whole thing will go downhill fast! That may seem like a no-brainer but believe me...

Well, I think that the ex-wife is not an asshole. Naive perhaps, but I see no reason to call her an asshole.

The Hot Felon story seems really Dickensian.

THAT’S what a “gender reveal” party is? People have parties to announce the gender of their as-yet born babies?

I had honestly never heard of gender reveal parties, so until I read your comment, I assumed this was a transphobic attack on someone revealing to their family and friends that they were transitioning.

I will take any opportunity to use this gif of my roommate’s cat. Good luck tomorrow! I’m sure you’ll do great.

“Tip your wattress.”

How terribly sad, he was the heart and soul of that show.

RIP, La La.

F that noise about it being nicer straightened. Last time I went to a salon I told myself I’d leave if they were rude about my curly curly hair. Within minutes the stylist commented on “HOW DAMAGED” my hair is (it isn’t-it’s just dry because curly hair is dry) so I walked out with wet hair.

This site is what got me to appreciate my 2c/3a hair seventeen years ago:

I participated in a big wedding no-no once...but I don’t regret it a bit.

What sort of secret handshake does it require for stylists to know how to cut curly hair?? And don’t get me started on how long it took me to figure out how to style my hair (until sophomore year of college, I straightened it). My mom has stick-straight, thin hair and had no idea other than to brush it to give it…
