I'm the same way, that's why I just wait until the last minute to read the book.

This seems like the right way to do a reading resolution, rather than a negative resolution:“I’m not going to read white men” instead a positive one: “I’m going to read books that I can learn from and discuss them with others who also want to learn.”

You know that a second price auction is basically how eBay works, right? If the auction starts at 100 and you would pay a max of 200 you just put in 200 and it bids you 101 (assuming the auction works on dollar increments) if someone bids 150 it only pushes you to 151. But I'd someone bids 201 they get the item likely…

I like the line “oh you may not want to touch me, I’m not done with the course of scabies medication yet.”

Or they just kill people society doesn't value: prostitutes, the homeless, undocumented immigrants...

Can you cite those studies? I'm interested in reading them.

Given all the terrible writing, fearmongering, and bad poetry, I would be doing a disservice if I didn’t at least suggest a good piece of writing. Patricia Smith’s Blood Dazzler is a fantastic collection of poetry. With all the news coverage I retread it for the first time in years. Everyone do yourselves a favor and…

Patti’s daughter with Fred Sonic Smith (RIP) is in her mid 20s now...that’s almost the right age. She would never do it though, she’s too busy playing in her own band and doing some cool work to support Tibetan music and art.

Jessica williams singlehandedly makes the world a better place. She gave something between a lecture and a standup set at my university, I didn't think I could love her more, then I went to the lecture and loved her more.

Yeah, as a curly haired white girl, it’s just called having curly hair. Big curly hair even. An Afro specifically refers to a style of natural black hair, putting tiny curlers in, is not natural. You don’t need to appropriate something that was and is an important statement about rejecting Eurocentric ideals of beauty…

Really? I LOVE mine. Nonstick that isn’t Teflon and is dishwasher safe? Spectacular. I’ve had them for 4 years and gave away all my other pans. The only weird thing is the little circle marks on omelettes and pancakes but they are wonderful otherwise. Granted, you have to use lower heat than you would normally and be…

When you find out, while at the bar with your new grad school colleagues, that one of them never learned how to ride a bike do not immediately have drunk lesson time. Scratch that, immediately have drunk lesson time as long as there are helmets and cameras involved. Brian learned to ride the bike, the worst injury was…

Is this the prequel to him becoming the sexy vampire on being human?

Yeah, how dare you not hire Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s translator to completely capture the literary essence of the article. Seriously, it’s grammatically correct and gets the point accross so of all the nonsense to get up in arms about.

Some organic fair trade cocoas still use the older process. I once accidentally made a real red velvet cake by accident. It has a dark cranberry color.

Eat one. 5 in each. Done.

It’s progress that someone cared, right? A few years ago the IA people might have just laughed at the jokes and moved on. Oh god, it’s depressing to think that this is progress.

This is the worst. I have some money, I can take a test as often as needed, just in case, which I will. This law sucks. Seriously, if anyone needs a pregnancy test to be sure and not hit the deadline, I will buy it for you. Message me. This law scares me. I’m not rich, I make 20something grand a year but it’s a small…

I think Theodore Dreiser’s an American tragedy could totally work in a dystopian society with scheming up and comers, murder, the moral that even if you work hard, do the right thing, and get all the breaks it can still go horribly wrong when the oppressive system is against you

Crazy fringe group deliberately provokes other crazy fringe group: nothing good happens and people are dead. I agree, free speech sacred. The golden rule of “don’t be an asshole” also important, not as important, but important.
