I know Jews for Jesus at Liberty. We yiddenvolk don’t see them as members of the Tribe, but this douchegoy might.

The first time I saw a chain Tilted Kilt I was so confused. There is a dive pub in the town over from where I grew up called the Tilted Kilt; they have good pub pizza, assorted Irish bar foods, and show rugby games. Your waitress is also the owner’s 70 yr old wife or his 35 yr old daughter, the bartender is their son…

I assumed it was related to American University of Beirut, which is also relatively famous and in high regard on the international university rankings and has zero to do with the university in DC. In other countries, branding a university “American” distinguishes itself from other university systems - for example,…

Avocado is my sworn enemy. It has tried to kill me on numerous occasions and seems to be collaborating with the bastards jacking up the prices of EpiPens, such as it is now cheaper to go to the ER once or twice a year when the avocado assassins come for me than to buy a pack of EPs.
Avocado is the devil’s fruit. May…

I dunno, what I learned by proxy when my spouse took Torts in law school was that there is very little that can be done to protect humans from their own stupidity. That is why you create situations that indemnify people/places against other people’s stupidity - basically the signs and the fence design indemnified the…

She was dangling her son over a 4ft high fence with large signs around warning folks of danger, over an enclosure of predatory wild animals known to kill small children in their native Africa. My daughter was also 2, we had been to the Wild Dog exhibit maybe a week before, there is really no excuse or reason for the…

This, plus my kiddo is very into distinguishing between “fancy” clothes and “play” clothes and “sports” clothes, much like her parents who have “work” clothes, “weekend” clothes, and “workout” clothes.

(and that should really be zygote, not embryo, and besides the luteal phase, the time to conception and time to implantation can add up to a week between conception and growth into a pregnancy, hence the extra week in there not possibly accounted for in extended luteal phase) (and yes I do teach human sexualities…

The pin says “10 weeks post conception” which would medically be a 12-14 week old fetus (women’s luteal phases vary widely from 10 to 21 days, the average being around 2 weeks, but the data is kurtotic, so as many women in the 10-14 day range as in the 15-21 day range). So the info for a 10 week old fetus is two…

Not 10 week old fetus. 10 weeks post conception. 12-14 week old fetus. Pregnancy calculations are jacked and based on last menstrual cycle. AT CONCEPTION that shit is regarded as 2-3 weeks old.

My Irish Setter mix, also adopted, is just shy of 10. She’s had two knee reconstructions, one on each side, with each surgery and rehab costing just about $1200/knee. The first knee was while we were in grad school and we had to borrow money from parents to have it happen. The second was just when we were starting our…

Seriously. Hyperemesis gravidarum made me so so so rabidly pro-choice. I was always pro-choice, but my mom kept telling me, oh once you’re pregnant, you’ll see, you’ll believe in it politically, still, but you’ll know how special having a baby is. Nope. Four months of being confined to the couch and only being able to…

Sadly not my friend, but my student. And faculty cannot instigate these kinds of complaints or investigations, despite the fact that there is faculty demand to do so. There is a new VP of Student Affairs, so hopefully the situation will change. There was a real power vacuum overseeing the SCO for almost three years.…

Based on the actions of the ASCA member who supposedly oversees the student conduct office at my university, I am not at all surprised. No, wait, I am, only in that he hasn’t been so accused yet. He does things like allow for rapists to finish out semesters before beginning their suspensions. This may seem reasonable…

I don’t think gay MRAs are particularly surprising, considering that gay male misogyny is a real thing. What is hated is femininity, among women, among the faggier men, as well as a revulsion against the female body. Masculinity is still prized and hegemonic. This is not the complicity masculinity of straight men who…

NYC is shockingly devoid of maternity shopping. When I was preggo, I had it easy on 34th St (where I went because I was a student at CUNY, at 34th and 5th) - The Gap’s maternity and kids section was upstairs, H+M’s wasn’t so so bad, Old Navy still carried the full line in store and on the first floor (in the back, by…

Oh man, I never comment on Deadspin so I’ll be stuck in the grays, but can we turn this into “Greatest Moments in Reply All?” Because the greatest moments at my university involve an IT dude replying all about an employee diabetes prevention program (now we all know that Chad’s fasting sugars are above 200, thanks…

I’m allergic to most of the EOS lines because they use avocado oils, and the one I did try, sucked. The only thing that has held up to Minnesota winter is Nivea Moisture Essential. That shit is the bomb.

Thanks for this. I thought it was related to Black consciousness raising, folk applications of critical race theory, etc, and now that I know, I will not use it to describe myself, and instead do my job as a white ally in the academy and teach the truth such that my Black students can be woke and my white students…

I have a newborn and I’m still on coffee #2. I have no idea what bae is and so I picked the robot from Star Wars that I have yet to see because did I mention I have a newborn? Does 7 weeks old still count as newborn?
WHAT DOES WOKE MEAN?
