Am 100% on board with more unisex individual bathrooms. My current institution has them all over the place (most floors have multiple scattered around, although one building wing doesn't have any, oddly) and it's amazing for everyone. There are enough that I don't feel like I'm displacing others when I use them, and I…

Oh, THAT'S what Pilates is?! I'd never bothered to learn. I do similar exercises but think of them as basic isometric strength training or active yoga. A cursory internet search suggests that the major difference between active yoga and Pilates is that the latter is more targeted toward core strength? But the videos…

Worth noting that "best friend" relationships tend to improve with age. Just because it's her best current friendship doesn't mean it's perfect, and the younger she is the more likely that the friendship is based on external factors rather than true compatibility.

(General response to thread, not to anyone in particular.)

My experience was with law schools. Most schools had an asterisk somewhere on the application page/form with a link to instructions on how to obtain a fee waiver. If you can't figure it out, email the Financial Aid office. Don't bother with a sob-story at the outset; just ask (1) whether they give application fee…

Protip: most schools will waive the application fee if you ask them to. Fee waivers are basically given on the honer system.

2013 GT GTR Series 1 Women's Road bike purchased today in-store from Performance Bike for $799 (saving over $1,000) during Black Friday sale. I spent basically all of my "fun" budget for the next 1.5 years to make this happen and I DON'T CARE. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

I thoroughly endorse your purchase! Your pick is one of my Frye favorites.

1. The best way to learn to express yourself is to read and think. Below are a few sites to help you orient yourself in popular feminism(s).

My advice is simple and is bullet point #1. Everything after than is just educational.

I feel like I just found another piece of my puzzle (or, found a way to express it). Getting over my ED was a mental task, but not something I felt, until I started running. As I felt more and more comfortable running (enjoying it, as opposed to simply going through the mechanics), I felt less and less connected to…

Talking to someone doesn't just mean your therapist—it also means a nutritionist.

Thanks for responding. I sounds like you care deeply about your students and are very invested in your job. That is, in part, why is it somewhat confusing to me that you don't appear to consider it your responsibility to assist lagging students, even though you clearly spend quite a bit of your time doing just that. I…

"so any time I spend teaching it to them (during office hours 'cause it's not fair to waste class time on it) is totally out of the goodness of my heart and so totally not my responsibility."

This was the first time I've encountered the "doll" look and this trend. I just spent probably 45 minutes looking at Jezebel's other posts on this, watching youtube, and looking at these women's personal blogs out of sheer fascination.

A general response (that will get lost in the world of unread grays) to the skin-compliment threads:

Kerry Washington finally gets a cover...and they airbrush her until she looks white.

The image is somewhat misleading. It is clearly the ProVision millimeter scanner that DOES use image-processing software and will remain in airports. The Rapiscan x-ray scanner that will be removed looks like two tall navy blue boxes that you walk between.

After very slowly getting over an eating disorder from my teens, I now completely separate whether I consider a person pretty/handsome/attractive from whether I would rate them skinny/healthy/overweight. They are just two very different metrics in my mind. To me, "pretty" has everything to do with proportions, skin…
