Thank you. I was gonna say, "Actually, they do not make me feel 'fucking lazy' because the reason I'm not running a marathon isn't that I'm 'fucking lazy' but that I'm in a 'fucking wheelchair.'"

Thank you for your comment! This is where I bust out the "P" word and politely remind us all to check our health and medical services privilege at the door. I think there's a worthwhile conversation to be had here about teachers who push boundaries in regards to emergency situations—I get that a lot of people don't…

Come to think of it, are we sure that Ted Mosby didn't murder The Mother?

this, like the missionary position outcome, is actually a "win" for feminism. And hear me out.

Oh man, I just binge watched the whole series and Ted gives off such slimeball feels. Like I think Barney is less of a creepy 'cause he's honest in his misogyny and all his long term relationships are actually with strong functional independent women whereas for all of Teds talk about respecting women, he usually ends…

As a professor of criminal justice who studies police violence, this is neither uncommon nor will result in any punishment for the officer despite being both illegal and (I can guarantee) against department policy as well. There's some commenter lurking around here claiming that the officer was responsible for…

I'm loving not having kids, but am totally regretting the whole work thing. Being a stay at home mom to my cats would be ideal.

I work for a state agency, making less than I could in the private sector. But after I adopted my son, they let me work from home for 18 months. I came into the office one day a week, and his older brother was our manny, and it was as near perfect as we could imagine. They changed the policy on working from home, but…

You should always be surprised when people say something homophobic. Otherwise, you're allowing it to be normal.

89% of the comments in this thread need to stop. Dear god, I started out reading all the empathetic responses and yet this is the thread that stops me in my tracks. I just want to say I don't know how you do it, reading all the nonsensical "no such thing as battered woman syndrome" comments. Thank you for posting the…

I guess he also conveniently forgot about the part of the bible that doesn't paint a glowing picture of rich people....or the fact that rich people don't stand a chance of entering heaven. So if gays are supposed to burn in hell, he and his family better pack extra SPF because they're asses are headed to hell too.

The USC students representing Jones argued that she would not have been convicted if

Yes, but only in Candy Land. The conversion rates are killer.

In that case I usually hear: "Date me. I am worthy of your time and affection."

I think they were always racist, they just needed the right opportunity to show it.

Hrmm... OK. Fine. But it rubs me the wrong way, like we need to be told to chill out. Like I expect a sign saying "I know when you tell me to smile you just want me to be reminded that happiness trumps unhappiness" followed by "When I tell you to smile, it's because you're beautiful when you do."

He is super handsome and he lays on my back and meows at me when I'm sad.

I'm not "trying to PC." I just think that the cover of Vogue is not Burke's Peerage or the honor roll at Harvard. It's a magazine that you can buy at 7/11. In other words I can't quite be scandalized by this.

Thank you! It was really frustrating to read the same misconception over and over again. And even if at her uni "prepped courses" means different courses and not new courses, then it is still reasonable. It's funny because everyone keeps saying she sounds like she was more concerned with research than teaching, but…

I think it is important to note that she did not ask to have a reduced teaching load, she asked to have "No more than three new class preps per year for the first three years.". This means that she would she would still teach more than three classes per year, but only three of these would be classes she has never…
