This trailer is making me cry. At my desk. I must see it!

I watch that movie every Halloween/Autumn. SO GOOD!

But then when you complain about student loans the refrain is "you shouldn't have gone to such an expensive school" or "you shouldn't have gone to school" at all. You just can't win with the GOP.

Hey Erin! We have a new cidery in NE Mpls! I judge you're from the area based on your articles (I actually have this theory that you may have gone to the same high school as my BF, based on your descriptions) so next time you are around you should check it out. Sociable Cider Werks. And, I sincerely hope I didn't just…

So, my conservative Evangelical mom is possibly one of the least feminist women I know, but she wouldn't let me watch Grease growing up because the message it sent to young women was "you should change who you are for a boy!" and she didn't want her daughters thinking that way. This was also why I could not watch the…

So, there are two disgusting moments that tie for me:

I watched this movie one night while my boyfriend was out of town and all my friends were too busy to hang out and I drank WAAAYYYY too much red wine and ate a ton of tofu fried rice and sambusas and was just so, so sad. I then drunk texted all my friends, telling them to watch it too. I tried reading the book but the…

I am not sure I even want kids but when I saw that picture the first thought through my lady brain was "ermergerd. I want to have five sons and force them to dress in matching overalls."

Shoot. I just dropped (what is to me) a bunch of cash on vintage-y black lace dress for my boyfriend's cousin's wedding this summer. It is going to be fancy, but I am not sure if it is at night. Am I going to be ostracized by BF's family? It is completely modest but cut in a very flattering matter..... My mom did not…

My future kitten (comes home in four weeks) is named Malcolm. The foster home named him that and I thought, "Well, I always wanted a sci-fi themed name...." So we are keeping it! His full, legal, registered name will be Captain Malcolm Reynolds and we will call him Mal.

A lot of fair-skinned girls engage in unhealthy behaviors (tanning) in order to not appear "pasty". Let's not use derogatory language to describe anyone's skin color, k?

It can happen, yes. But it is tricky. When my sister and BIL were applying for their mortgage they wanted to use the money from their wedding gifts as part of a down payment and they had to get all this documentation to show that in addition to this gifted money they could in fact pay their mortgage on time and that…

For me, anyway, it is the use of animal skins for a completely useless purpose: advertising. Like, I dunno, make some mittens out of that skin or do something with a use.

God, I hate this argument. By no means are we asking for all the cows to be set free to fend for themselves. We have made them into subservient creatures incapable of surviving on their own and it is our responsibility to care for them. I would argue "most" vegetarians would just prefer a world in which less meat is…

Could someone who is better at medical/hard science studies than I am please explain to the author why this is a really crap study? (I am only basing this on my experience with the social sciences so someone in the hard sciences should please, please comment.) First, it is based on self-reported health. Second, many…

I have this coworker who grew up in Brooklyn Park and whenever it comes up he mentions, "But it was different back then." Dude, your racism is not well camouflaged. But also, my boyfriend does teach at a Jewish school in St. Louis Park...

I was so, so hoping for a Mpls bro! I am working on it right now, as I have nothing going on at work. I don't know how good it'll be, though!

I want to give this 10,000 stars. But there needs to be something about saying he lives in Minneapolis when he actually lives in St. Louis Park..... I definitely work with the Mankato State version of this guy. I am working o an Mpls/StP bro. Will post soon.

I call them girl-bros. A lot of people would say sorority girl but I have a lot of great friends who were in sororities and also know girls who were not pledged who would definitely be girl-bros.

Yeah, in the Midwest we say "bags". It took me a second to figure out what "cornhole" meant. That sounds dirty.....
