Good thing I just balanced out my couch potato web-surfing with a donation to the campaign. See, Mr. President, I'm just hanging out on the couch with my computer so I can be super responsive whenever your donation requests hit my inbox.

I was older than 22 the last time I did something worth groveling over. At 25, I may have been a college graduate and tax-paying adult, but I still did some immature shit that even now, at all of 28, I would never do again. Unfortunately, for some of us, experience makes the difference, not age.

Is this a good place to mention that the LHHS Appropriations Subcommittee bill submitted last week is in direct opposition to Obama's proposed FY13 budget for sex education? Specifically, that the committee proposes to cut Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (which includes STI prevention) funding from $105 million to…

No fucking way. That's really all I got.

I hope your friend continues to dream big, what a lovely comment. And I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother almost a year ago, and it's just a damn hard thing.

Eh, if it's between a young woman coming off a bad relationship and an older man with significantly more power and a frightening involvement in a cult, I'm gonna have to side with the young woman. She may have had an appetite for fame, and she wouldn't be the first actress to do so, but I have a hard time believing…

One of the first projects I ever remember doing in elementary school was a report on Sally Ride, and I also remember it as one of my favorite assignments ever. I was inspired and awed and so incredibly impressed by this woman who commanded respect from the top tiers of (mostly dudes in) science and government; and as…

My cat is currently sitting inside a reusable grocery bag, which is pretty adorable, but now I want to find a way to introduce a leaf into the mix. That cat's paws were the cutest thing I've seen all week.

I feel terrible for this Susannah Guthrie lady, but what does it have to do with Today anchor Savannah Guthrie?

I named a cat Eleanor (and her brother is Franklin), but I don't know of any human baby Eleanors.

On the one hand, my college advisor was a fairly well regarded Austen scholar who was convinced that her novels were chock-full of sex. On the other hand, he never resorted to fanfic.

Couldn't agree more, but I don't think it's in the casting stars for us.

Right? This guy? This guy???

Yes! And this is not that. I mean, maybe they hamstrung themselves by picking such a strapping lad to play Gale, but this guy pales in comparison to Liam Hemsworth, and that's not good. Like, I just don't see Capitol ladies paying to get with that.

Oh, christ. I went to Vanderbilt and I know girls whose mothers advised them to transfer and "do better" in rush the next year. Luckily, these girls told their moms that they were sipping crazy juice if they thought the girls would transfer over a sorority. One of the many reasons why they're still my friends.

I'm a white girl, and I joined a (not traditionally black) sorority at an old money, conservative-ish school in the South. We had an extremely diverse class, and my senior year, our President, a position voted on by all members, was black. There are Southern sorority girls that can and do look at black women and see…
