it doesn't last anywhere near five years, but amanda wachob does these temporary tattoos called "bloodlines" with distilled water instead of ink. the design fades as the skin heals, i've wanted one for ages: http://www.designsponge.com/2011/06/amanda…

i feel like i'm taking crazy pills. i can't be the only person who hated everything about this, right? for fuck's sake, all she does for the last twenty seconds is handle objects and make googly eyes at the camera. the music is boring, the video is boring, and that's fine, it's fine for stuff to be boring. but the…

can't believe i had to scroll this far down into the grays to find the only smart thing anyone has said yet. well done.

holy bananas, that's badass. following you on kinja now. <3

awww, thank YOU for the response :)

yay, podcasts!

aw, in principle i'm totally like, yeah, fuck prom! but now i teach high school seniors from gang-plagued neighborhoods who will straight up tell me that they're pretty sure they'll be dead before 30. no matter how hard i try, i can't come up with a good reason why they shouldn't get really excited about this stupid…

yeah, dude, and the barely concealed scorn for "the other woman" throughout this piece is really icky. why not more editorializing and snark about moore's behavior? you can do better, jezebel.

you're so welcome! here, dar williams might not be your thing but i always end up listening to this at some point on mondays -

hi jezzies. i'm in the middle... well, reaching the end... of my first year teaching high school kids with special needs in the south bronx. we just had spring break a few weeks ago, but i'm already totally exhausted. it seems like everything about this job is demoralizing lately - the kids aren't engaged, my boss is…

my suggestion is go shopping around for a therapist you really like before you commit to anyone. i have a really good one now but it took a long time and i'm realizing that she had to spend the first four months of treating me basically undoing all the shitty stuff other incompetent people did. in the meantime, this…

a really simple thing that helps me is i pause and run what i want to say through my head very fast before i say it. sometimes mid-sentence, which makes me look like a lunatic. but i have totally gotten into trouble with abruptness before and it's just so fast and so illuminating to "hear" how what i'm about to say…

i just completed the last three missions of zombies, run! season one in preparation for season two - which, last week, arbitrarily decided to totally obliterate the base i had spent four months building up into a zombie-proof fortress. without being spoilery for anyone who hasn't run the last missions yet... now i see…

maybe try lifting some heavier weights while you're healing up? i know a personal trainer who can't run anymore due to scoliosis, and she stays fit mainly by building muscle, which burns lots of calories. feel better!

i had really similar issues for the last six months that i was on zoloft - i'm just wondering if you noticed that hating sex coincided with your starting the drug? if that's the case, and if you're taking zoloft for depression or anxiety, maybe consider shopping around for a different antidepressant. i know that can…
