I thought it was called Freedom kissing...

Don't worry, they can just buy a new one.

This is the best thread ever. I'm learning so much about the best ways to birth my future earth child. Sounds like a pod of narwhals will be the way to go.

Ugh, don't you DARE dog-shame me. It's obvious to any good mother that you make sure your wolf-suckled child gets found by a provincial shepherd couple before they're 8. Take your purrr-trolling elsewhere.

Have you stopped to consider that the bears might not want to be your personal spirit guide through labor? That your presence in their cave might divert energy they'd rather be directing towards the care of their own cubs? Have you even ASKED the bear's permission? Just because they have been gifted with serenity…

I really expected better from you Jezebel. This mother (and father) has made a very personal decision about how she wants to give birth. We should not shame her for that choice.

I wish Colleges weren't such a gatekeepers.

We have the entirety of human knowledge available to us in devices that fit in our pocket, and yet unless you live in a specific building for 4+ years, you aren't considered educated.

The only advantages colleges have is their vast wealth. No one I know has a Spectrometer…

If one of these things has happened to you, GET AN EMPLOYMENT LAWYER, who can help you get wages, overtime, and so on for one of these illegal internships (they generally charge you nothing upfront, because their fees are a mandatory part of damages in a Fair Labor Standards Act suit). Don't post about it on the…

But if I'm single, whom will I marry? Is he suggesting I mary a guy I'm not in a relationship with? What is this?? Is he suggesting arranged marriages?

Puppies!!! I want one so bad. They are chewing everything though!

I struggled with this quite a bit as well back when I taught. The thing that drove me mad was the girls were routinely punished for wearing tank tops while boys could always be found around the phys ed wing topless. I'm all for professional school wear (including gym attire), but when I received a lecture for sending…

Based on your comment maybe we should spend more time teaching women empathy instead of toughness.

Soooo... interventions. I don't suppose there's an actual licensed therapist/psychologist in this comments section who can opine on their usefulness? While I'm not a mental health professional, I've worked (and lived...) in the field for a good portion of my life. My impression of interventions, as they're currently…

Shoes have a surprisingly high environmental impact in terms of manufacturing. This from a NY Times article: ". . . more than half of the energy used (and greenhouse gases generated) in making a pair of shoes comes from processing and producing the raw materials. The next-biggest energy drain is the retail environment…

This one?

I think the clowns who are pearl clutching could benefit from watching this short film

That could be fun...though I have to wonder how one would go about washing them... It would be pretty cool if they could eventually develop a whole body suit for this kind of thing; then you could exchange long-distance massages too.

The video ad says radiance, not whitening. As in the delicate silky shine you get at the edge of your face, not the overall tone. Unless you are saying that radiance should not be sold to African Americans, only whites, because that is the purpose of make up. How would you sell your product and say, "... and radiance…

I know right? All I can think is he must have misunderstood womens college to mean finishing school.
