They got rid of that wheaton college prof who was tenured for saying that muslims and christians worship the same god (not untrue...) so, you’d think that perpetrating traumatic crimes on students would be enough, wouldn’t you?

go ahead. i was trying not to say too many bad words...

oh blargh. not that his actions are made any less appropriate by knowing what he looks like, but...imagine you were in your early 20s, and this was your boss, and he was forcing his tongue in your mouth?? jeebus criminy cracker crow. i wish he did it to a guy too so the charges would be taken seriously. ugh ugh ugh,…

Heh. I’m an 8, getting on into a 10 since I reached metabolic death (35), which in Europe makes me plus-sized in most brands. I ain’t mad-they make nice-fitting stuff at reasonable prices-I would really only be able to buy poor-fitting scratchy pants at Sears for what I pay to get jeans I like here. Good thing the…

Ah, small towns and their overweening need to shame girls with any kind of ambition... I hope she holds fast to her Fuckitol and has a great life.

Something about small towns and the inability to cut wavy hair...

I’m a bit older (I went to prom in 1996) when I was woefully still subject to my mom’s hairdresser (not a lot of choices in a town of 1500). I have thick, wiry hair and this woman mostly insisted on cutting it straight across and giving me bangs, which gave me mega Pyramid Mushroom Head. But for my special…

I saw this trailer the other day and I’m thinking it’s going to be a good doc:

that is...very smart.

Ugh, dude. This happened with my (now former) best friend of decades. She’s not a diehard GOP-er but she buys big time into conservative economics (which uh, soz but you can’t really be socially liberal and economically conservative and not just pass out from the cognitive dissonance, or, like she did, seemingly have…

Gurl, it’s not a bad thing to use that little option to cut certain people out of seeing certain posts. It’s all fine and good to want to be forthright about your thoughts, but if your parents are like mine, they’re not getting any less mean or any more thoughtful with age and the nastiness and stress from people who…

It totally is-the Cool Girl in Gone Girl was a lot about this-the idea that women mold themselves in the image they think is appealing, whether it’s feigning interest in something you don’t care about, looking a certain way, or, I suppose, buying into a politics that doesn’t serve you.

This is true...even if he was flagrantly mediocre...

We all need more Solnit.

Yes, George Soros brings the money to the door, in person. I seen it...

Yes, troublemakers, harpies, all... Srsly. If this guy beat the shit out of another guy, maybe sent him to the hospital and caused lasting damage, nobody would be all “poor baybee and his all-important kah-rear”. It’s a violent crime, and he would be viewed as dangerous to society. Why is rape viewed as something…

Ugh, I feel that. And it starts before the workplace-I am an adult woman with the same level of education as my younger brother, though I paid for it myself through scholarships and working (he received parental assistance and didn’t have to work during his schooling). I recently met up with my parents for a week…

It’s confusing, too. I grew up during the 80s and 90s and talking about diversity and tolerance and all that stuff at the time was supposed to make things better. It’s like nobody was listening at all. I guess any teacher will tell you that’s how it goes, but even so...why are we still so ackbasswards about this?

“Asshole candles”, heh.

Oh man and Capitola is not what I’d call “affordable”. I lived in that area for nearly a decade and most of it was with housemates (some of whom were deeply dysfunctional in a special-to-Cali way, never seen it quite like that anywhere else...)-the one time I had my own place it was a tiny studio attached to a garage,…
