I teach sexual and reproductive health courses to college students, and they bring current events/articles to class. Several have started to express extreme concern...I can only call it “doom and gloom”...about this news and other stories like it coming out of our government. They are assault survivors, children from…

Having read the book, I feel that the whole “spark joy” thing overshadowed the actual message of her book and the root of her method, which is just to be more conscious of what you own. Her storage methods center around arranging things so that you can see and access everything without having to move anything around…

There’s one unintended, ironic effect of Marie Kondo’s show and it has nothing to do with getting rid of shit: I now understand why 70% of married women initiate divorces.

Not destroying my phone, I’m not paid enough to afford a Fitbit, and calorie trackers are too much fucking work. I’ll stick with my favorites; not working a second past my 8 hrs and always taking a dump on the clock.

In President Pence’s America, data from apps like this will be sold to bars and restaurants so they can refuse service to any woman who might be pregnant. This will become necessary after Congress passes the Fetal Aimed Life Saving Endevour, which makes anyone giving a pregnant woman alcohol, drugs, raw fish, or cold…

I wonder how they got the $400 number? To “save” that much you’d have to be spending $20k eating out and if you’re doing that and sweating $400, you’ve got a lot of skewed priorities.

But we currently inhabit the world where servers and other folks are not paid a decent wage, so...tip.

20% is minimum.

John Carruthers, who also writes for The Takeout, wrote an article about a day as a hot dog vendor at the White Sox stadium. I think about half of what he took home was accounted for by tips.

This is a large part of what the Satanic Temple is doing. They’ve filed some fantastic lawsuits and they’re definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.

Double check to make sure the Flying Spaghetti Monster church doesn’t already do that. 

Yes, please. 

Having grown up in Indiana but leaving after high school, I always try to explain to people here in Minnesota what Indiana was like. The best thing I can tell people is that I have never been anywhere that wishes it had been part of the Confederacy more than Indiana.

This would certainly explain why Game of Thronesspawned an entire cottage industry while it would be remarkable if you’ve ever heard a human person talk about You or Sex Education out loud, but who can say? Not me, because I don’t and can’t know if Netflix is telling the truth—and not Netflix, because their numbers…

I’ve read this twice and I’m still not entirely sure what the point of this rant is. That people prefer comfort food over new stuff? Well, sure. That’s been the case since TV began. (And I’ll always have a Law & Order on when I’m doing chores.) Netflix wants people to stay home and watch Netflix? Well, duh. It’s hard…

You’re not naive and you didn’t miss anything. There’s just a tendency in fandom these days for people to pair “best friend” characters of the same sex, into romantic relationships in their own personal headcanons, despite what the actual canon establishes (this happens with Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes a lot, for…

I must’ve missed it, too? Amazing, deep female friendships like this exist. I have several, and am a married hetero woman.

One part of this blog I can’t understand is the queerbaity part. Perhaps I am naive, but the movie says they were best friends before the crash. To me, it’s only natural to want hang out with your best friend’s kid and try and help raise it if your best friend is a single parent.

I’m going to catch a matinee tomorrow. I heard great things about Goose.

Why not watch it in Japanese?
