This says "Toddler gets into mommy's self-tanner" more than "nuanced high fashion" to me.

Fair point. Really, the knitwear is top notch and worth the watching! Ravelry already has a few Outlander inspired patterns, but this is still one of my fav quick, beginner accessory knits!

Oy vey, profound missing of the point, online articles! Tell your bf it's about TRUUUUEE LOOOOOVVVEE (and sex and violence and battles and gorgeous panoramic views)

Such a triumphant feeling! Hooray for hooking the dubious menfolk!

My husband watches this show with me, and by watches I mean he's usually idly scrolling through tumblr while I squirm with perpetual giddy glee. Midway through the whipping scene, the iPad was forgotten on the floor, along with his jaw. His only comment came after the punch to the gut, when he turned to me and said…

Yeah, as a Lit teacher we have a lot of those "womp womp" moments in class, and my students are smart enough to recognize the irony, which is fantastic for their brains and education, and terrible for me standing in front of a group of 13 year olds trying to justify rules with which I don't actually agree.

Firmly seconded.

Agreed. It's a Catholic school though, so not exactly known for progressive overhauling of arbitrary rules. The cognitive dissonance between what we are required to teach and what many of us actually believe is alarming. Seems overblown to say it on an article about dress codes, but it's the stuff like this that…

We have the opposite problem at my school (where I teach, not attend). Girls have the option of either khaki pants or their uniform skirts year-round, whereas boys are not allowed to wear shorts from October 31st to May 1st. For all that most dress codes have a female gender bias, the only dress code complaints I…

Agreed. My work has a "no denim-colored jeans, but black, white, patterned, or really any other color but dark blue is a-ok" rule that I find baffling, but I follow it, because I must. My Catholic high school dress code actually prepared me rather well for the world of pedantic rules that is employment. Lo, the…

Thanks for speaking up! As a fellow teacher, I am with you. I teach at a Catholic school, and many of our dress code rules are absurdly excessive (no nail polish other than pale pink or clear; boys can't wear shorts between October 31st and May 1st) but I think many of the commenters are coming at this issue from…

I taught middle school in Phoenix, and while the individual classrooms had AC, the sprawling campus was entirely outside. We had uniforms there (super low income demographic with lots of gang activity) and those kids did just fine in polos and khakis, as did I in short-sleeved dresses of an appropriate length. Now I…

Gaaaahhhhd, I wish this was my experience. I've only passed through Heathrow once (a month ago) and it was the single worst airport security experience I've ever had, and I'm no stranger to airports or security pat-downs. Waiting over an hour for a bag to be searched, aimless employees wandering around despite all…

I feel confident that she censored for me in my delicate youth. Cussin' enhances all things, however, and I will revise as suggested.

My mother has a hierarchy. "Troglodyte" for run-of-the-mill assholery, "Knuckle-dragging troglodyte" for upping the ante, and in truly extreme situations, "mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging troglodyte". The woman is a gift.

Will knit.

And Tapioca Putin for dessert!

What about my brunch spot, featuring my famous Osama Bin Latkes and Robert Mugabeggs'n'bacon? With Bloody Marys served daily, obvi

I also want to know! I would love to hear others who have used this method. My daily commute used to include a drive past a hypnotherapy clinic and I always used to hear the quacking of ducks, but I'd love to eat my words if this is an effective therapy tool

It's so infuriating to see all this helpless verbal flailing from the mayor and the governor. "What we need is peace". No, what we need is for you guys to step in with more than weak rhetoric and get your police force's shit together before they hurt more innocent people.
