Academia is a fucking mine field as far as harassment goes (sexual, racial, just general mistreatment by a principal investigator) since there’s a very strong “It was done to me, so suck it up and deal” harassment cycle that perpetuates itself. PhD students and postdocs rely on letters of recommendation for the rest…

There’s all the use in the world. If a woman in academia is given the option to name names, she’ll usually stay silent. Our jobs are so precarious—even getting one is a tremendous long shot, and tenure is even harder—that many women would prefer to keep silent about their abuse rather than risk the career they’ve…

He was also a prolific car thief, leading to him inventing/patening improved car alarms based on his, uh, frontline knowledge of the shortcomings of the then-prevailing tech. He parlayed that into immense personal wealth (wealthiest sitting member of either chamber, I believe).

Also the voice of: “step away from the car. This car protected by Viper”. I still remember a shocking amount of that article, 7 years later.

Completely unrelated, but Dianne Feinstein just unilaterally released the Fusion GPS transcript. You can read it here: https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/3/9/3974a291-ddbe-4525-9ed1-22bab43c05ae/934A3562824CACA7BB4D915E97709D2F.simpson-transcript-redacted.pdf

I’ve found that her city travel guides are good too! I was in Mexico City recently and the restaurant recommendations were on point. But yeah, I feel conflicted because a lot of her health suggestions are terrible. She is reportedly a big supporter of Planned Parenthood, and I think she means well, but I wish she’d…

When I did it, it wasn’t really tender enough once it was brown enough, and when it was tender enough it was black in places, hence the pan-frying in butter of my first attempt. Second attempt was eaten too, without pan-frying, but it wasn’t tasty enough to want it again.

Coconut milk, honey, chia seeds.... let sit over night. In the morn you’ll have delicious vegan pudding.

Goop is annoying at best and a dangerous snake oil/vagina egg peddler at worst. Also, detox is bullshit. With that said, her recipes are fucking delicious. I bought one of her cookbooks after Lindy reviewed it on Jezebel years ago, and I love everything I’ve tried.

HECK YES, I was proud to sign that petition.

As a Michigan native (and someone who is possibly moving back to my hometown in the next year or two) this is really good news! But, speaking of MI, I’m wondering why Jezebel hasn’t given any attention to the fact that activists have gotten more than enough signatures to get an anti-gerrymandering amendment on the…

They dress the ducklings up for all sorts of occasions (well, someone does- it’s apparently something of a mystery who does it) and absolutely nothing has warmed the cockles of my cold little New England heart like those pussy hats on the mallard family. 

First I thought maybe for safety, but if they were halfway there, why not go all the way?

Seriously, I’m glad somebody else said it- the dumbkoff who got on the wrong plane deserves to be financially inconvenienced. I can’t believe they turned the whole damned thing around for one person.

Unless that bad passenger was wearing a vest set to explode in 5 hrs, in what scenario does make financial or customer service sense turn around rather than just keep them in custody for the remaining 7 hrs?

Awesome, I didn’t know that. Thanks for making my Christmas. Merry Holidays.

I’m extremely disappointed to find out that Munchin’s home wasn’t one of the ones in Bel-Air that was destroyed by the wildfires.

Haha I mean I guess I can acknowledge that we all have different ears but Miley Cyrus is one of those people where I’m like “YOU REALIZE SHE CANNOT SING, RIGHT? LIKE, THIS IS NOT A PERSON WHO CAN SING....”
