My father was a pastor. He also did not speak English as his first language (though he did speak fluent, unaccented English) and occasionally would slip up a bit. Once, he was preaching a sermon on the story of Abraham making a covenant with God, which involves God appearing as a flaming brazier. My father pronounced…

That's....actually 20 times more sane than I thought it would be. She didn't do it as a publicity stunt as she left when the media arrived. She just....really....didn't want to go home. Awwwwwww. Well, here's hoping that her impending health crisis is able to take her mind off of her boyfriend.

Gravity Falls is so worth your time - this is from an episode called Boyz Crazy about a boy band. The show has a scifi tilt.

Truth tea is delicious.

My ex-boyfriend used to swear he once hooked up with a Jonas Brother (the married one). I always told him I didn't believe him, and then one day he said, "if I was gonna lie about hooking up with a Jonas, why would I say it was the ugly one??"

Yes.

My body was not ready for this perfection.

I'm the white biological mom of a biracial daughter who was born in New Hampshire.

Skirts with pockets! Skirts with pockets!

My adult wardrobe is almost wholly inspired by two famous outfits:

When I was eight, I was a junior bridesmaid in my aunt's wedding. After dancing for about two hours straight, I walked up to the (closed) bar and took the entire bottle of maraschino cherries. I walked into the fanciest bathroom I'd ever seen, removed my tights and reclined on the sofa (fanciest bathroom I'd ever…

Because it's what they know. They know how to deal with and navigate an abusive relationship, they know how that dynamic works. They recognize those cues and know what they mean, it's a language they're fluent in so they feel at home. If you've never learned the language and cues of a loving relationship, you'll…

On twitter, Mr_racoon pointed out this version starring Gumi:

she's also a fucking neuroscientist who doesn't believe in vaccinating her kids, so i'm not exactly rushing to take her opinions seriously.

I saw this story earlier and was discussing it with a few people before I started our department meeting. Then one of our interns piped up, "Do you think there's an echo when they knock on her head? That would be cool."

Tiny-ass well-dressed humans will always make me feel inferior, therefore angry at myself for feeling inferior when in actual fact they've probably shit themselves 10 minutes ago and I have not. I am proud of myself for this fact.

This is almost as awkward as when Antz and A Bug's Life came out at the same time. Sorry, J Lo. Nicki is Disney and Iggy is Dreamworks.

I've always liked him, from TV (I didn't realize he was a singer until Jezebel started talking about it...oops), but there was something so...sweet and fun about this. There's no sexual tension, there's no shit...just two people out laughing and having fun.

You know what? I like Drake and Nicki's friendship. It reminds me of mine and one of my guy friends.
