Okay, sure, you and your team don't like email for lots of good reasons and that's entirely valid, but that's not the same thing as being addicted to email and requiring disincentives to keep yourselves from checking your email.

How is email a bad habit? That's what I just genuinely don't get.

Facebook can be an endless pit, but you either have new mail or you don't, right?

Yeah, this. I don't get how looking at the Sparrow icon in my menubar is really effing up my productivity.

Wait, so why is email bad?

Because Jezebel isn't a feminist site, it's a commercial site.

To that I say, I do. I care about push notifications for email and want to be instantly notified about my email. It has nothing to do with my job and everything to do with staying in contact with my family and friends. (Who is the mythical person from your "article" who only uses email for work?) You don't need that

Cosigned on the hot drinks. I know lots of (most?) people love hot coffee and tea, but I'm just not down.

Gah! Sloth! It's the sloths and their chocolate bubblegum noses that make everything okay.

That's just such a good a plan on every level.

My husband told me to stop coming to Jezebel, because I just end up in a shaking heap every time.

Mine is "Forgotten lovechild of Don Ho and Eartha Kitt." It's from Home Movies' description of the birth of an adopted child of indeterminate ethnicity (Josie).

There was a This American Life piece on her a few years ago. I think the subject was being the fall guy. It talked about how she really got a raw deal, and normally you sympathize with the person who's been hard done by, except that she's just so unlikable and makes it really hard for the public to forgive her.

I had to buy some new work clothes a couple of weeks ago and left two stores in the middle of a panic attack.

I was born in 81, and all of those things (except TGIF) are 80s for me. Like 89/90 maybe. By 93, I was full-on flannel. Lisa Frank was over by the time I hit 5th grade. (91?)

Now playing

That plant looks like a giant spider waiting to drop down onto my head (or lap).

Okay, I'm reading that Austin guy on Sid Miller's page like Maggie running for junior high student council president.

I'm reading all of the FB comments in the voice of Maggie from the Walking Dead. It's awesome.

I'm not watching the clips. I saw the trailer and that was great, and maybe the movie will be, too, but I don't want all these clips to color how I see the movie.

I quit when I was 14 because all the girls in my troop were so bitchy (along with the moms). I really liked it and wish I could have found a troop of nice people.
