I live in urban SoCal. Can confirm that ~80% of the dogs in the local shelters are pit bulls and chihuahuas.

I’m trying to give you a star, but Kinja is being Kinja.

As a librarian, thank you so much for this. People get so angry at us. And...more people have mold, mildew, and bugs in their books than many realize.

I don’t like the Boy Scout politics, but I was envious of the Boy Scouts as a kid because they actually seemed to go camping and hiking sometimes, whereas I was in Girl Scout troops in two different states where we only ever did indoor craft projects.

As a Girl Scout, I just wanted to go camping, and we never even so much as hiked. All we ever did was hot glue sequins and feathers to things. I don’t believe we ever went outside for any reason. I quit after 2 years of that nonsense.

“Swedish Death Cleaning” just sounds so metal. I like the title. Essentially every woman I know over the age of 50 seems to be engaged in this process anyway, because that appears to be the age that your mother, MIL, grandmother, family friend realizes they have accumulated a lifetime of possessions, and they do not…

I am a hugger with friends, but there are very few times I have ever hugged a coworker, even ones I am close to. Those were situations where like, someone’s father had died, and I was friends with the person outside work.

The entire world is primed to believe you, and disbelieve women, so you really don’t have much to fear if you aren’t sexually harassing people. So don’t. Sure, you can’t stop sociopaths from framing you for things you didn’t do, but if a sociopath has decided to ruin your life, they’d probably frame you for theft or…

I can concur, male librarians tend to get paid more than female librarians.

I already throw a party, so when you count food and decorations, it’s getting up there. I don’t spend $1,000, but I easily could. If I had Angelina Jolie money I would full on throw a Halloween Ball every year for way more than that.

I was disappointed how low that Halloween budget is. I would spend so much more than $1,000 on Halloween if I had Angelina Jolie’s money.

Last week was the first I had ever heard of it, but apparently it was known by many.

Interesting, I do barefoot running, and I tend to walk on the balls of my feet, and when I started going to the gym with my husband, I was so weak on most things, except on calf-raises, where it was like that scene from Unbreakable when they are trying to find an upper limit to Bruce Willis’ strength.

“They’re non-aggressive and will only bite in self-defense.”

“The most sympathetic reading of this situation is that Sunderland got lost in a kind of journalism that has always existed, but is more prevalent in our current political landscape; writers intent on fully understanding a controversial issue ingratiating themselves with the “other side” to present a comprehensive…

Dinosaurs, man...they just will not stop sexually harassing people.

Also useful for finding out what a dweeb your best friend from high school is marrying. Wedding photos will obscure that a bit with a fairly standardized uniform, but engagement photos are in non-wedding clothes, so I was mentally prepared when I arrived for pre-wedding activities that my friend’s intended wears polo…

Wow, I am actually very surprised by this study. Admitted, my sample size is small, but the men I’ve dated (even the ones who were objectively jerks) were always at least as generous as me when it comes to that. Of course, I’m older than the sample size. Kids today, huh?

“Is having to see your boyfriend, Idris Elba, with the woman who stole your other boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, too upsetting?”
