Oh Jimmy, you are my favorite, even if I always felt vaguely guilty about it b/c you were playing a HS student....

I deleted my fb account about a wk ago, and haven't looked back. I've stayed on Google+ though, w/ the idea that my "circles" will be more carefully curated (that is, people who actually might give a damn). Also, Google+ feels less *personal* to me than fb did; I no longer have the vague fear that I'm…
Yeah, looks like my source article misattributed the quote...it actually belongs to "The Infants’ Department."
Pink hasn't always been considered shorthand for "girlish." In 1918, a "Ladies’ Home Journal" article declared that: "There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger…
More importantly, how will they draw viewers if there are no sexy, sexy ladies for them to ogle unabashedly??
So...in a case like this, will the woman get charged if the death is ruled accidental? For involuntary manslaughter maybe? (All my law knowledge comes from watching SVU...). I'm glad the puppy is okay! I hope they find a good home for him.
I'm actually surprised that Jezebel would bother to point out something like this. South Africa and Namibia are both post-apartheid countries, both plagued with problems too numerous to count...problems that seem as simple as "black" and "white" but are in reality far more complicated. Since there are PLENTY of…
This.
Ummm...what is so wrong w/ this statement? They're reiterating the same thing...that the images were taken out of context, the staff was diverse, &c.
When I taught in Africa, I always envied the wraps the women wore on their heads. The woman I lived with made me a traditional costume, with matching wrap, but it wouldn't stay on, and also while it looked effortless on them, I just looked silly. :( I feel like cool wraps/headscarves should be more of a Thing here…
Oh my god I can't believe I'm thinking this but..."Wow, this takes dead baby jokes to a whole new level." I'M SORRY.
I'm w/ you. But I think people expect us (women) to feel...guiltier? More sentimental? To me an unwanted embryo/fetus/whatever is an inconvenience, and I wouldn't feel any more remorse for it than I would for the fleas that are killed every month by the medicine I give my dogs. I mean, sure, call it a baby. Is…
The most overt thing I look for is a "hook." A favorite one is: "Who lies more, men or women?" A question like that is designed to stimulate conversation, while covertly steering the conversation towards sex.
These "seduction techniques" make me so paranoid. Or they did, when I was still unattached. If I got so much as a whiff of Method, like an apparently thought-provoking question, or even something as innocuous-seeming as being told to hold someone's drink, I would immediately shut down. Not that these guys care. …
Your fiance? Awww. It must have been hard for you to have to spend all that time pretending to be an obnoxious, rapey dudebro, when really you just wanted to settle down with a nice man.
Haha yeah! This reminds me of that play, "Top Girls."
Well, don't worry. The way things are going in Washington, soon all our rights will be stripped away, and we won't be allowed to do anything but stay at home and raise numerous children. So no more rapes! YAY.
Hah YES! This remains my favorite scene from that entire series. :))
Крокодил or "Krokodil" is simply the Russian word for "crocodile"; the association w/ the drug didn't come until later. Obviously. It's also been used as the name of a magazine. The name is in fact an inside joke that I have with my friend Anya. I call her "Svinka," which translates to something like "Pigling." …
