It's the dad jeans.

To be fair, cross country skiing IS pretty boring.

I had a roommate who was a keeper at the National Zoo. She had a degree in veterinary science and even then had to work full time for free for over a year before she was offered paid employment. She worked for years at another job and scrimped to save up the money to live for the year. Basically, it takes a shit…

Oh, what are these on my face? Eyeballs, which I will use to read Meredith's piece. "I sat there, in shock, while my harasser continued to yell threats and insults at me from the rear of the bus." Thanks, eyeballs! Sounds like Dick continued to lob harassment at her on the bus.

I read that as "boobs" and was not surprised she was flustered.

Sounds like Dick continued to lob harassment at her on the bus, and Driver continued to do nothing about it. Nice try, though.

I got this shit from a guy when I was gassing up my car in the middle of the afternoon in Menlo Park. Asked me for money, and when I said no he started grabbing his dick, wagging his tongue at me, saying he could shut me up with his dick, the usual. I told him I was calling the police and he got into a car and…

If you think this sounds over the top, you aren't a woman. This is completely believable in every aspect, sadly.

Yeeeessss! Fassbender! And, uh... Billy Bragg! What can I say, I love him, and he's handsome in his new ginger-grey beard.

One of my friends is a Lyft driver and he does what he calls Hot Mess Patrol— goes out early in the morning on weekends with coconut water, mints, warm towels, etc.

Yes, thank you for reminding us of the Tea Party opposition to the bailouts, which have ended up making money for the government. But you'll be right about something some day, just you wait.

Mr. Lebontemps and I had a similarly efficient conversation.

And Paleo diet.

Lick my cloaca.

Totally! I look incredibly fit, but I have lungs the size of two peas. Meanwhile my sister-in-law outweighs me by about 100 lbs, but she runs marathons. My money's on her in the zombie apocalypse.

I looooove Thanksgiving— it's my favorite holiday of the year and I generally have nothing but lovely memories of it. But there was one year that I had dinner at a friend's house, and her grandmother spent the entire dinner picking at my friend— one of the smartest and most accomplished women I know— about her…

That ad totally makes me tingle in my girl parts.

Oh, I think it's even weirder. They met and married while this mess was going on, she got pregnant and miscarried. Then all of a sudden they really wanted this other baby.

I'm feeling moved to share one of the great triumphs of my high school years. We had an anti-choice teacher who filled the display board at the front of his class with pictures of fetuses and various anti-choice propaganda. My friend and I went to the teacher, then the principal, and finally the school board with the…

We have a "no-fly" list of forbidden phrases, one of which is "Chill."
