ooo-what profession is that? still reeling from leaving academia myself, and I’m worried about getting something stable before my expiration/pumpkin-turning age...

Yeah-with some men, being collegial at a basic level seems to be a broad invitation to them to believe that sex is a possibility. I have had this experience. It makes you feel like you shouldn’t be friendly at all to male colleagues after that, which will sabotage your ability to get things done in the long run. There…

No joke- a rebuttal to the Little Sisters from Catholics for Choice would be real good right about now. They have the bases covered.

BLAME BEER.

Same. I love to eat and haven’t eaten meat in eons, and I have a really varied diet. And am a little podgy, if we’re honest. It’s so weird to get fixated on eating the same 3 things as the center of the meal all the time and it seems kinda boring too.

I eat cheese almost every day. That said, I’m not skinny. I’m not fat, either, and not eating anything has never helped me be anything but sad. I encourage you to eat cheese.

Me neither. Some day Gisele is gonna retire and bloat all the way up to 140 pounds by eating spaghetti again, and she’s gonna be a lot less pinched-looking, I bet. I’m so much happier being a normal.

Oh God she is such a great advertisement for continuing to take birth control. That shit looks terrifying.

Arrrrgle bargle. I think he ate too much trans fat margarine in the 80s and it clogged his brainpan. this is simply not sensical in any fashion.

Does anyone else appreciate that Kesha always looks sort of wary and disagreeable? Having been knitpicked about this particular facial expression for much of my childhood, it’s sort of thrilling.

This is true. I worked at a food bank, and we had a locked closet full of diapers. Could not keep them on the shelves. Very practical.

I live in the Basque Country and you can get fake meat (like Morningstar and Not Dogs in the U.S.) in vending machines. I am a vegetarian and I haven’t ever bought it from there, but it’s probably a little safer than authentic meat, even if the stuff above is cured or something...

I dunno if you’ve seen this, but it’s GREAT. I wish you peace.

I love to ka-nit, but it takes so much time, so I feel like I should learn to crotch-it.

Read Jia’s article and then read the books!

yeah...<cough cough>bawdy marabia<coughcough>. at some point we’ll get so we aren’t as reliant on them and we can cut that particularly noxious cord.

I suspect that there’s a lot we could do to eff up ISIS’ finances. Cooperate with int’l courts to go after money that is made by selling antiquities. Freeze accounts, cut off their revenue sources, really work the anti-terror laws that apply to moving money. War by administrative sorcery can be incredibly effective,…

Meh, the guy is an astrophysicist. Biology is a different scene. He was just trying to write something cute and light on his Twitter. I have a sideline as an academic article editor, and it becomes immediately apparent how specialized modern science is-not a lot of reason for the guy to know about corkscrew duck…

Lookin’ like an executive branch of DREAMBOATS up in there. Sweet Salami, can we say elegance. I can’t even think about drones.

Thx.
