I second the recommendation for a clarisonic— they are great! Just be aware that there is a transition period in which you will break out. And don’t use it more than once per day.

In a more detailed brief, Scalia directs his argument at the sciences and the opportunities for African Americans therein. The United States, he posits, “now has fewer African-American physicians, scientists, and engineers than it would have had using race-neutral [admissions] methods. It probably has fewer college…

Haha, true! But (spoiler alert for anyone who has yet to listen!) it takes a special kind of dumb to wander off into Taliban territory and claim you were just trying to help. My ex was that kind of stupid.

Is it bad that I already hate him? He reminds me of an ex-boyfriend. Delusions of grandeur, no accountability, and so so so stupid. Obviously its early in the season, so that’s not a fair judgment. And the poor guy went through a genuinely horrific experience, and I feel bad. But Jason Bourne? Really? Ugh.

I wish I had un-greying power because I would ungrey this comment (and also the similar comment that I just made). Jez does not do a great job discussing legal issues and articles like this one just rile up the commentariat for no reason. Either the author does not understand the nature of oral arguments or is being…

Ugh. Can Jezebel get someone to write on legal opinions with a legal background. This was during an oral argument. Scalia asking this question does not mean that it is where he ultimately comes down on the issue. That is the point of oral argument. That may be where he ultimately comes down, but why not save the…

No advice here (vegetarian...), but:

Yes, I think so. My mom (justifiably) doesn’t like talking with me about private conversations she has had with my sister. I know she has suggested that there is a problem, that therapy is an option, and that we love her and are not all out to get her. In conversations that the 3 of of have had together, my sister…

I wish I had advice because I know exactly where you are coming from. My dad is the definition of emotionally distant. Patience maybe is the key? Just before he died, my mom sat down with her dad and had a heart to heart with him. She was very straightforward with him and told him exactly what she was feeling. It’s…

Congrats! And what a gorgeous cat :)

Oof, that hurts. Sorry you’re dealing with that. If it’s any consolation, my legal writing prof left me some really nasty comments on my brief 1L year and gave me an unbelievably shitty grade. I made it through nonetheless! And I am sure you will too. Hang in there and I’m sending positive vibes your way.

I need advice in regards to dealing with a family member dealing with depression/a panic attack/I don’t know what. Last week I went home for Thanksgiving and my sister and I got into yet another argument. But this one felt... different. She is unemployed, in her early 30s, and just moved in with my mom. Over the…

Their marriage, as depicted on TheReal Housewives of Beverly Hills, was picturesque, if not entirely, you know, healthy-looking (Yolanda insisted on home-cooked dinners awaiting her “king,” as she actually referred to him).

Thank you, and I actually am set to start volunteering in a few weeks. I had been kind of dreading it, but this is a really good way to look at it and I do think it will give me a sense of greater purpose. And those chickens are adorable and legitimately did make me feel better :)

Do you ever get so sad that you feel like you can’t breathe? I have that right now. My sister won’t talk to me. We used to have a great relationship and she got me through some really challenging times when I was young. We got into an argument earlier this summer over something so stupid I am embarrassed to talk about…

“Your clothing is too tight. When you’re fat you’re supposed to wear loose clothing to hide it. Everyone knows that.”

Ugh, Bravo. Potomac, really? I have been saying for years that the next installment of this franchise should be a Real Housewives of Chicago/Top Chef cross0ver in which Stephanie Izard feeds me all day. In exchange I will be Danielle Staub-level crazy. Rick Bayless would obviously appear as a “friend of the…

I wish I could give this comment a hundred stars. I spent years running 5-6 times a week. I’m already a healthy eater, but I reduced calories, increased protein, the whole kit and caboodle. I gained! And not muscle either— it was most definitely fat. It wasn’t until I got on a program guided by someone who knows what…

@KimK

Great GOD let the woman record! My cardio workout is suffering here. There are only so many times I can jump around a room to “Come On”.
