I worked with a woman whose husband left her for another woman when their newborn was 7 weeks old. They had 2 other daughters that were under 5. She NEVER badmouthed that asshole to the kids, even when the middle child was an angry tween/early teen and blamed her for the dissolution of the marriage. She said they’d…

Even if Channing were the cause of the divorce, which I don’t know if I have it in me to believe because I adore him, Jenna’s a class act for not badmouthing him. Maybe it’s her saving face but I find that very sweet of her.

Nah, this is an undergraduate biology classroom. We’re talking about a lecture course that almost certainly cuts across a HUGE range of students. You’re as likely to have a student-athlete who wants to go to med school or a ranch kid majoring in wildlife biology in that setting, you’re not just talking about a…

I was called out by a professor (in an email after the fact) for being “disruptive” when a girl in my language and culture class started talking about Islam as this weird, exotic, and violent faith. I majored in international studies and proceeded to school her so hard on her prejudices. I was the only one who…

I’m not in a science field, but in grad school, I had That Guy in my class — the one who never does the reading or homework but can’t stop participating in discussion.

That verifies the anecdotal horror stories, and I’m glad you’re having a positive experience in a field that can be difficult for women, and totally #notallmen etc., but this study that suggests even quiet and polite men are more likely to view themselves as smarter than women, which speaks to a huge gender/cultural…

I’m an engineer. My experience in college was that a lot of the dudes were actually pretty excellent and accepting. A small but INCREDIBLY VOCAL minority were fucking intolerable. My experience in industry has been the same. A lot of good, a smaller portion of really really loud bad.

Please. That peen would have a Twitter handle with the pic as it’s avatar. And it would be followed by millions.

That’s not correct. You don’t want to discourage white children from dressing up as Tiana or Jasmine. Because it’s good for white kids to look up to people of different races.

I’m adopted and am staying far, far away from this. Too many potential slow-motion explosions.

That is fuuucked uuup. I’m sorry for your loss.

Missing stuffed animals are nothing to scoff at. I had a stuffed white polar bear (he was stuffed with softer beanie baby type stuffing rather than fiber fil) when I was 7 and it was the most awesome cuddle buddy right up into my difficult high school years. He went “missing” one day and it was devastating. I found…

This is how that embedded tweet’s text shows up for me. Does everyone have to click on the link to get the gist of what she’s saying?

In breaking Love is Dead news...

Wait I’m confused did she prank US or was SHE being pranked by someone who sent her fake invites???

I maintain that there is no such thing as an optional “Oxford” comma. There is, in fact, only one style of commas in a series that avoids ambiguity; any other approach is either sloppy or ignorant.

Love Your Kitties thread:

The OP isn’t arguing for the government to censor Williamson. You know that. Or you don’t understand the Constitution. Probably both.

I assumed this was ‘staged’ by someone in the employ of realtor. No real human lives like that. Also, and unrelated: I am always disappointed when they omit pix of the kitchens and bathrooms of these opulent home/apartment listings. Show me the spaces where the real living occurs!

Is holding women as sex slaves and branding them really suited for Dirt Bag, especially in that light hearted and funny tone of yours (“FX is casting. Not really, but I would bet on it.“)?
