Mess with the crabbo, you get the stabbo.

The hair gel scene in There's Something About Mary is an accident, and the damage is done before Ben Stiller realizes what's going on. Is it appropriate to call it a violation? Serious question. I've been thinking this over for at least 10 minutes.

On the R train, I once watched a well-dressed older lady, with dramatic scarf draped just so, proceed to nibble daintily on a series of chicken wings that she produced DIRECTLY from the pocket of her gorgeous camelhair coat, and then deposit the bones in the other pocket. These wings were not wrapped or in a plastic…

J just want one to get free and go to college and drink beer.

Went to a dive bar in Culver City to see a friend’s band play, drank so many cheap amaretto sours I lost count, and woke up in a motel room the next morning with absolutely no idea how I got there. The first thing I saw upon opening my crusted-together eyes was the blindingly white ass of the undernourished singer as…

Mine is Bacardi 151, after a particularly memorable celebration of my 18th birthday. Ughh. (I am now 30 and I have not touched it ever again in the ensuing dozen years)

I never liked it in the first place but after splitting a bottle of Chartreuse with an ex for his birthday I’ll never forgive him or that liqueur ever again.

No. You are wrong. YOU worked hard and were able to breastfeed. That does not mean that it works for everyone. Our bodies don’t always work perfectly, and it used to be that when that happened with breastmilk, either our babies just died or we found a wet nurse. Now we have a better option that is objectively almost…

Came back a second time to contemplate that perhaps you are simply a titty troll. 

Are you implying that if someone wanted to try hard enough they should be able to breast feed? It sounds that way, but I’m sure it cannot be what you meant to say. Maybe edit for clarification? Because saying that would be really cruel and medically incorrect. Some women just....cannot. You come across really self…

okay...

This is really scary for me. I actually struggle with depression and worry that I won’t be able to handle postpartum depression if I were ever to have a child. My boyfriend and I have been together for six years. He doesn’t want kids. I like the idea of having kids, but when I think about my finances and the potential…

You guys, I really recommend you read Pox by Michael Willrich. It explores the public health efforts to vaccinate against smallpox a century ago, and it is FASCINATING. Many parallels today with the anti-vaxxers, but also the civil rights aspect of it has a pretty different angle. It’s really, really good.

“I would refer to it as an in-break”

The doctor who sat down with her FOR TWO HOURS is a freaking saint.

Martina Clements, 41, a Portland mom who didn’t vaccinate her two children until recently, said the anti-vaccine community uses fear to raise doubts about vaccine safety. But parents who support immunizations can be belittling.

I can’t think of Michael Sheen without thinking of his stint on 30 Rock (very funny but didn’t make him seem like great boyfriend material). Plus I hear he’s a cheater IRL but I read too much blind item gossip so don’t listen to me.

Linguistics major here. The whole point of grammar is clarity. We all recognise “dumb/smart at” and it’s meaning, and it is widely and commonly used, so it’s fine. “Dumb when it comes to” is also fine, but while it might be better grammatically, it’s kinda clunky.

I mean language is always changing and shifting anyways. Like, “good at” and “bad at” are used now in ways that they likely weren’t in the past. “I am good at math” uses “good” in a totally different way than “I am a good person”. “I perform well at math” became “I am good at math”. And that’s not wrong now. I don’t…
