I knowww and Dennis Mersereau :(

Uh, so is this like, the last Millihelen? And how TF are we supposed to live without Erin Gloria Ryan? WTH is a Vocativ? Just ugh, you guys.

and if I am being honest, eating shredded cheese out of the bag with a spoon.

My Chinese co-worker’s 5-year-old kid sincerely asked me why I was dirty and didn’t wash properly. Why do this to yourself on purpose? As I get older and more freckled, if I move really fast, I can look like someone with a darker complexion.

Sing-alongs with recorded concerts on YouTube.

Oh Man, that’s terrrible. I live in the Basque Country and I learned to speak Spanish-step 1, now I work in it, and that was frustrating enough and I still have some difficulty from time to time, especially when sick, but now I’m trying to do it up and learn Basque, which is not Indo-European and so it’s hard and…

I was in a PhD program in my early/mid 20s. Around the time I passed my qualifying exams, my advisor was denied tenure. At that point I had been in the program for 3 years and it had involved a lot of unnecessary misery-in addition to the grindingly long hours and difficulty involved in a grad science program, I was…

They have been hitting these out of the park. I think there should be a reader poll with prize for the best Trumpscriptions.

Oooh that looks great. I made sweet biscuits with a sweet potato/mascarpone/brown sugar/vanilla whip drizzled with maple syrup. We ate it before the work week began, too bad for co-workers. I find that it’s better not to appear (more) subservient, anyway.

In 2012, my mom said “even your father voted for Obama”. My dad is a small-government-type who occasionally says fairly terrible things about women and minorities, but Mitt was way too fat-cat for him. I don’t dare bring up this subject, but with this republicrop, he might even vote for Hillary next year, even if he…

Yeah, the hijacking of the term “entitlements” (oh, and for much longer, “welfare”) (and also basic accounting) has been the right’s great evil marketing. Yes, if you pay for it for decades, you are, well, entitled to it...

i guess it’s not one for the glossy recruitment brochures...

Bill Nye: almost-counterweight to Most Embarrassing alum Ann Coulter.

If nothing else, one can marvel at her fantastic posture. Srsly how does she stand up that straight with those things? I’m 1/3 the cup size and I have a permanent slump.

People in the US always ask me about taxes also (Spanish state) and it’s like uhm, we get health care for our taxes and don’t have to pay insurance premiums on top of what is really a pretty regressive tax that hurts low-medium earners more than it should, so it works out. Also: real sick leave if you need it, and…

I understand wanting to look a certain way, but peeps, your butt is important. If you, like me, have 2 jobs that are both in front of a computer screen and you must sit a lot, and you also poop, then you should maybe let your butt be itself.

So it’s totally impossible to get somebody’s account suspended because they are making rape threats, but CNN can just be like, dear Twitter, I don’t like what the bad man is saying about us, make it stop? Maybe there is a way to make sure that CNN gets all the rape threats, and that’s how to solve it...

oh hay, could I get your mom to talk to my mom? coz like, the baby pressure at married and 36 years old is just unreal.

PB&J on rye. But in my dreams it was a big sour hunk of toasted ciabatta with melted gruyere and onions with a thinly sliced dill pickle and a slice of potato omelette and a handful of Thai basil leaves. Clearly my meal has not kicked in yet.

Yes, very telling. It’s not “helping” if it’s your own damn house, it’s not “babysitting” if it’s your own kid. You live there, you contribute. Ooga booga. Going to go sacrifice a piece of pie to the altar in thanksgiving for my spouse, for whom this is not remotely an issue. I’m so relieved to not be in the same…
