Perrette has yet to respond publicly, but I certainly hope she does, and soon.

The Russians have experimented with domesticating foxes so they behave like dogs. Not saying little miss thing got Winter from Vlad, but still. 

I'm starting to think the Venn Diagram overlap of right wing guys with pedophiles/rapists is just the whole circle.

That is Joan Summers of Jezebel’s words/editorialization, not Kathy Griffin’s.

I really loved Patricia C Wrede’s Enchanted Forest Chronicles. I’ve reread them several times as an adult, and I am so glad someone got them in my hands as a young teen. I definitely understood from reading those books, and from Ella Enchanted, that the overarching theme in Improper Princess books was that being…

How much is the livestream of you getting back into bed?!? When is it?!? Will you be doing the ice bottle bucket cap challenge in bed?!? Guzzle down some hot sauces that’s rad! TAKE MY PARENT’S MONEY!!!!

According to my mom, sister, and a friend, a polite request to ghosts/weird energies to leave you the fuck alone actually works. Still thanking my lucky stars that whatever “sensitivity” seems to run in my family mostly skipped me.

Seems like this would be less of an issue if students weren’t required to list their parents' incomes on their FAFSA until they were 24 while not able to compel their parents to pay for college. It's a shit rule, and if parents have no intention of paying for their kid's school (and have such a toxic relationship that…

Pretty much my exact thoughts when the news broke of his (probable) attempted suicide.  According to the Times, he didn’t do himself any lasting damage, so he needs to be monitored 24/7 ‘till this thing is seen through to the end.  I know better than to hope at this point, but I wouldn’t ask for anything for Christmas…

The victim blaming at work in the greys is...really something to behold. I don’t care if this girl was the worst behaved, most troubled, terribly raised person on the planet. ADULT HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD NOT RAPE HER. The only person to blame for rape is the rapist. How hard is this? I don’t understand why this has to be…

“BRC owner Stephen Gore...”

Listen... as a totally normal 31 year old woman with a completely fulfilling life I have to ask

Do we need some Randy Rainbow? I think we do:

Well.......my record is not unblemished.

Adidas: Tell us about your workout routine

Embarrassment, lack of insurance, unable to get a referral to a dermatologist, being told that there’s nothing to be done by a GP.

If watching reality TV has taught me anything, it’s that even though these shows have a reputation for being fluff, watching them is anything but relaxing.

It’s hard to make something happen if it’s already happened, ya know?

I’m cringing all over again. I really don’t like Naomi Wolf and place the blame squarely on her at the end of the day, but I’m also horrified that this got past her thesis advisor. It’s indicative of how bad academic advising has become over the past couple of decades as academics become more and more overburdened.

Then most of the “star” academics I know are bad academics. (And, in my experience, that’s true.) Anyhow, Naomi Wolf just completed her PhD in 2015. Although she began graduate school, she wasn’t really working within professional academic circles and it shows. This is why we have peer review.
