That “wool” houndstooth jacket is actually 100% polyester. Unsurprising, given the price.

Hey can you mention, link to or quote the advocacy group Stella, who are quoted in the linked piece? It’s by-and-for sex workers in Montreal and I think it’s important that the voices of sexworkers _actually_ be heard.

I’m willing to bet this guy did it to seem funny to and curry favor with _other men._ The fact that it was at a woman’s expense didn’t enter his mind at the time, because using women’s bodies has always been a great way to impress the lads.

have you tried hydrogen peroxide?

They are always so dry and overcooked. :( Such a bait and switch.

Please, please. They go by “space buttholes” now.

... does anyone know what the protesters were saying? Twitter’s giving me nothing, here.

You know what I’d rather have than this, as someone who walks around in NYC? A vibration pattern that tells me to turn left or right. I don’t want to take out my phone and look at directions on the map - it slows me down and makes things worse for my fellow New Yorkers. Use other kinds of interfaces, navigation app…

I hope, when the end of this administration finally comes, these people are tried for crimes against humanity.

I eat salad with chopsticks also and people are always shocked.... but it’s like. Have you tried to stab lettuce with a fork before? Impossible.

Once, on a bus between Montreal and Ottawa, a creepy dude _would not stop_ talking to me sexually. I was about 22, wearing a low-cut top, and terrified. I was doing what the culture had raised me to do, and politely asking him to stop, but not really able to do much else. Someone in a seat behind me offered to switch…

It’s called Burnt Money (Plata Quemada).

I don’t read that as a good thing. I read that as Collins, who might otherwise have voted against him, justifying the position she is going to take when she votes him in. I don’t think it will take much for him to reconsider that “settled law” stance that he currently “holds.”

Which disciplines’ granting agencies is that true for? This has not been my experience. Many academic presses no longer go after authors for putting preprints on their own websites, but I’m not specifically aware of freedom to access being a clause in most granting agencies’ requirements.

Academic publishers are predatory. To be clear — it’s not a university keeping you from reading the paper without shelling out $45, it’s the publisher, Elsevier, Kluwer or whoever owns the journal. The authors get nothing but the ability to continue their academic careers for publishing in a given journal. The peer…

Are you a dude? I ask because the thing about Ambien that makes it dangerous for ladies is that it builds up in fatty tissues — which means that even though you might be taking the recommended dose, you might get a much higher amount in your system after a couple days’ regular usage.

Just use baking soda. Nothing cleans a sink better. Wipe all the surface goop off, moisten the sink, sprinkle in a half cup, hit it with a sponge and some elbow grease, rinse off. Done.

Fuck them for using the Star Trek Font this way.

All nouns in Spanish are grammatically gendered, but some have an obligatory gender marker (ie: you can’t make a masculine-apple, it’s always got to be feminine), whereas ones that refer to professions or qualities that people can have tend to get to have their gender marking swapped around.
