Maybe I'm just a big old perv with dime store ideas BUT I feel like these pictures are the precursors of the Playboy / Penthouse girl-in-lingerie-playing-with-herself photos. Women attending to themselves privately.

think of the effort that 4th grade teacher put into crafting a lesson plan on writing a bill! What a great way to teach writing, grammar, logic, and civics in a way that would be engaging to kids. Then to be dismissed and shot down by those idiots who probably couldn't teach a lesson on civics if their life depended…

Sounds like an ingenious tourism idea to me. Take a trip of the US- taste all of our state hotdogs and view all of our state birds. I am totally on board with this.

I think the real crime here is that the Red Tailed Hawk is fucking awesome and deserves to be the state bird of New Hampshire.

RIGHT? Oh, and voting on a State Hotdog is NOT a bad thing! If you have a local manufacture of hotdogs, voting on a bill to make it a State Hotdog is a GREAT marketing tool! That would enhance sales, increase manufacturing, help keep jobs in the state!! I thought that is what law makers wanted! Increased economic…

I often meet people who have complicated relationships with food - also, I am one of those people. What is written here about this woman reminds me so much of my disordered-eating years. Food was a magical substance that could cure me, sedate me or kill me. Fiction was fact and I was a neurotic binge-eater or a…

My fave Food Babe blunder is when she complained about the amount of oxygen in airplane cabins. She took it down after tons of mockery, but one still can find excerpts from it:

What's really great about the microwave study she cited is that if you spend a couple of minutes looking for peer review of it, one of the first hits it brings up includes the quote that is along the lines of saying that the study was so far from science that it's hard to believe that the person who conducted it had…

She needs to read up on what modern ag has done to keep us from starving to death. She can campaign on a stop having babies people platform which could perhaps lead to food not requiring science and technology to sustain us

I think the most absurd thing I've ever heard someone say was "strawberry oatmeal."

<gasp> You mean she eats those horrible, unnatural orange carrots just because she's used them? Along with spliced apples, mutant oranges, and banana clones?

She couldn't leave the relationship until she had another interesting man?

I didn't mean to imply you didn't know. I was just stating why I prefer the term. I disagree that the term makes white people the default for person (hence white people) but I do think that that assumption exists in general and needs to be combatted. I'm just not sure that changing the term does anything to solve…

I'm not judging. You're not the first person I've come across who didn't like the term, I've just never heard that reason before. To me the biggest advantage is that it's a term created BY minority groups to describe themselves so that's the first difference. And secondly it's people centric, which is a political…

i read it as a little bit defensive—my bad.

As a white lady, one of the best things about the Internet is the fact that black people can call us on our shit. Really. The fact that racism is something that I can choose not to think about is a privilege, and it is one I was truly ignorant of for a long time.

Don't listen to anyone's excuses on this. "The terms change so often, it's so hard to keep up, it's so arbitrary, PC police, argle bargle!"

That last paragraph is the truth. Because we are expected to move in white spaces, we have to know everything about whiteness. The opposite is not true and it simultaneously amazes and irritates me.

Yeah, my grandfather used to call black people "coloreds" - it was an honest mistake.

"I have to know everything. Everything about white people and how they speak and how they perceive how I speak" - YES for all this!
