Remember when Jax was the worst human this show offered?

I actually just scoured her wikipedia page hoping that she was biracial. I should say I hope that because I’m biracial and always get happy to see representation. I don’t have a fetish.

After 9-11, Mexican-Americans were being beaten up because they were mistaken for Arabs/Muslims - in California. The stupidity and ignorance of racists isn’t to be underestimated.

Sikh men wear them to promote equality and preserve cultural identity in India as well as across the globe. The only reason I know that is I had a roommate for two years who was a Sikh.

It's easy to criticize bc it's bigoted and wrong.

Sikh and Islam are completely different religions which aren’t remotely related to each other. It’s like racists aren’t even trying to educate themselves anymore.

We need more female music executives.

It just makes me think of this excellent post from Reductress.

You captured it so perfectly, I feel like I was there.

My mom maintains that the best experience she had testifying as an expert witness was when she was 8 months pregnant. No lawyer wants to be the asshole brow beating a pregnant woman on the stand

Congrats to her! She sounds like someone who really hates pregnancy so I’m happy for her that it’s over!

A high school boy working at a cold stone asked me how many months I had left. I was 38 weeks. I was like “ohhhh God don’t you give it any ideas”. He gave me a free scoop and thankfully the baby came 2 days later.

The only good thing about those last few weeks of pregnancy is that people are really afraid to upset you. I got a great price on a TV AND got out of a speeding ticket when I was uber pregnant. Still doesn’t make up for not being able to bend over and having to pee 24/7.

I’ve met people who literally had no clue this was a bad idea and just brush it off like it’s nothing. Like...what the actual fuck, where is your brain?

Yeah, should. I felt really strongly about this until I started working in clinics and with lots of actual people and then I realized that life is hard and sometimes people fuck up. And sometimes people make these non-choices because the choices are really really hard and their reality doesn’t include the support and…

I was recently visiting a an American friend living in Stockholm who just had her first child. She absolutely loves the Swedish approach to parenting. Everything split between her and her husband 50/50 (he is Swedish, so this was natural to him). She said she is still learning a lot from her Swedish mom friends. They…

Of interest: The porn industry is quicker to drop someone over allegations of rape than the NFL or NCAA.

I went to a Catholic university and was required to take two religious studies classes. One was called American Catholic Experience. It covered some pretty awful things nuns did.

You're missing the point of Hawkes' research. She isn't explaining longevity, she's explaining why humans almost singularly among primates have prolonged postmenopausal female life span. Simply put, other female primates mate until they stop being fertile, and then almost immediately fall over. Human females have an…
