I've known other teachers who have had to do similar, not to mention all the teachers who freaking schedule when they get pregnant so they don't lose too much money.

If it’s any consolation, I had a lovely, academic conversation in the comments last week. But yes, I have seen the assholes.

Brad Pitt is like a golden retriever. Cute, loving, and tends to run into closed glass doors. He’s never struck me as very bright.

I’m glad everyone is here to tell us that-

Undocumented goats being paid cents on the dollar, no doubt. Thanks Ollama.

If I found out my ex was engaged or married, I'd feel very sorry for the poor woman who was now legally bound to a human millstone. A woman as awful as he would reject him.

It’s not that people think that women lie about rape. It’s that people think that women lie about EVERYTHING. Women don’t ever misspeak, embellish or create. They just lie. That is why people turn to your boyfriend to ask them the same question they just asked you and you just answered. These MRAs and their kin aren’t…

Beauty and the Beast

Thank god my husband and I are both huge premier league fans. I think one of us would be bored to tears if we didn’t both love it and want to watch for hours on end on weekends :)

You are right about everything. Prem >>>> Walking Dead

I know, I’m a nitpick, but I’m strangely proud of knowing all the famous Pitch Perfect…

I have to tell you, I would not give it up for a Ph.D. Let's say you get one. It takes five years. So then you're 40.

I tried that once as well. It pretty much went like this.

I say this because.... I don't know who else to tell. But Sandra Oh ate dinner at the table next to ours last night. I was fascinated the whole time because Cristina Yang used to feel like a close friend (she was in my living room once a week for Pete's sake). But I was good and didn't pester her.

I live in Eugene, OR and there are so. many. people. like this here. except they are all damn liars. they don't hunt or forage or anything, they just get high and eat taco bell like the other U of O rejects. His music sounds like shit I hear walking through downtown.

I'm normally a very nice person who values politeness and kindness- until this one day. I had just moved from a pedestrian-friendly city to one that required a car, and was still adjusting to car culture when I got really sick and had to go to the doctor. The office was in one of the busiest areas of the city, and I…
