Do you think that hoodie is Vetements? I’m somewhat fascinated by the weird slice of high-fashion that Kim occupies. Obviously Balmain is a huge influence for the whole family, but ever since Kim and Kanye made it official, it appears he has really pushed her. Maybe not in the best direction, because Jesus Christ, all…

OMG, I always use hotdog/hamburger with my 6th graders when they ask about paper orientation. Never again.

Dude. My dermoid was only baseball sized and no teeth, only hair and sebum. You win.

Last year I had to have a baseball sized dermoid cyst removed from one of my ovaries. (Sadly, the ovary had to go, to, RIP left ovary.) During the surgery consult, the surgeon matter-of-factly explained that the cyst could contain teeth, but most likely was filled with sebum and hair. This is gross enough. Then she…

I once had a colleague make a joke about my breast size in front of our colleagues AND the “jokester”’s wife. I’m a 6th grade teacher. Fuck you, all Trumps.

I've never watched AHS because I am a wuss, but I think I am here for this.

I have been railing against the term flattering of late. It’s so coded. I was really disappointed in Tim Gunn’s OpEd because of the assumptions he made about wanting to always look smaller.

Oh Idris. He can get it. Always and forever.

Well, I guess I won't complain about filling out a paper ballot with a sharpie anymore.

Not just how men see women, but how women see ourselves. Young girls look, too, and then they get unrealistic ideas about what their bodies “should” look like. Now we have websites like Glamour.com running articles for women saying, “it’s ok to have labia that are uneven, or large, or small...” How would any girl…

So true. I teach 6th in a middle. Some kids come in a HOT MESS (especially irt organization skills, etc. ) so I always tell my kiddos that my goal for them is to learn how to do school. It's ridiculous the amount of pressure that our middle schoolers are feeling. They shouldn't be stressed out about what high school…

We are going to be dealing with the fallout of NCLB for years. There is a whole generation of administrators that know no other way. And our kids are suffering for it.

Once, in the long ago days of 1997, there was a webzine called Riot Grrl. Or it might have been Riot Grrrl, I can’t quite remember.

1998 won't truly be back until Old Navy rereleases carpenter jeans and has Morgan Fairchild shilling performance fleece.

I just don’t understand how people can not like bass. The only appropriate response to “Is this too loud?” is “Turn up the bass!” How do you dance without bass? How do you groove? These are serious questions.

Ugh. My husband, during the video about Cpt. Khan, turned and said, “why can’t she speak like this during her speeches. This is a great speaking voice.” Of course, Sec. Clinton’s voice was soft and well modulated because it was a freaking video and not a speech to thousands. I just rolled my eyes, because I can’t bear…

I dunno. After seeing the Revenant, I think I would like to avoid bears, too.

Wildlife. Yeeesh.

I do not like it when people don’t mash the avocado first. Avocado slices are slippery as hell.

Too bad she didn’t get a fair-trade, home-grown lentil ring.
