Sadly, no to the field work (though Croatia and Italy sounds divine). But thanks!

Over the years, as I heard more stories about my adviser - stories that had mysteriously NOT been told to me when I asked around about who was good to work with - my shame dissipated. Beyond the sexist shit, he was also the type of academic to publish research out from underneath his students and post-docs. (Not in a…

There were some other factors in the decision, but there was just a moment of clarity when I thought, “I am smart and capable. There are a million things I can do to make money while keeping dinosaurs in my life and not have to deal with all of this shit.” (I mean, as a woman getting a Geology degree, I’d already been…

Gross sexual harassment and emotional abuse by men of women in remote field work areas?

Thus proving these assholes are not actually “pro-life.” Just pro-control-over-women’s-reproductive-systems. Because as they let CHIP expire, they have proven they truly don’t give a shit about what happens to the children once they exit the birth canal.

That must be why I love you. I am a Leo from Brooklyn (from when it wasn’t Brooklyn).

For you. I am having A Day dealing with HVAC and plumbing, but this made me laugh.

I want to say I’m shocked, but I’m not. I toured U of M over 25 years ago while I was looking at grad schools. One of the reasons I chose not to go was the vibe was SO weird - walking through campus, my stereotypical Italian-American appearance stuck out like a sore thumb among the exceedingly blonde-and-blue-eyed…

Yep. Agreeing with you.

I wanted to find a new rage-punch gif and I found this Mashable post. All of them - I feel like using all of them with this.

Okay, fellow white woman stepping in to hopefully explain to you why Rooo is upset with you, since you can’t seem to figure it out on your own.

Oh, let’s just say I had a longer response I deleted about how sometimes, I feel like it’s over-diagnosed - because there’s gotta be a reason Andy or Jenny isn’t in the 99th percentile on the development chart - and I had a link to this article, too. But it was late and I wasn’t sure I was cogent.

I had to read that thread a few times before it made sense.

I had to slap a 20-something Bernie-supporting family member down - as did several of his other relatives - because he was saying that as a country, we don’t have a gun problem. We have a problem with the mental health system, and then he discussed the fact that the majority of gun deaths in this country are suicide.…

“You just need to have them. You’ll change your mind”.

First - I’m so sorry anyone said that type of stuff to you. I heard a lot of similar stuff and it’s the pits. (Especially if you don’t share your uterus woes with the general public, nor do you FEEL like sharing them because it’s not their business.)

All I can tell you from the vantage point of approaching 50? That…

I looked up the article - she does actually compare LaVar Ball to Marv Marinovich, and devotes the first part of the article to him and Tom Marinovich.
