My excuse? I'm lazy.

Nuh uh. Going to the salon terrifies me, and I usually come out feeling terrible. Mostly because Stylists refuse to give me the haircuts I *want*, and instead give me the generic "Fat girl face frame" cut, while gushing that "It'll make you look so much thinner!" Nope. I have walked out of more salons with free,…

ARGHSRGR. I keep testing running stylists and running into that problem. I've got about 3 feet of hair and I don't know what to do with it, and to top it off, it's curly, so it's got its own set of Problems. I sit down with a stylist and I say, "I don't know what I should do. I want it to be different and I don't…

My mom is so talented! She kicks butt—literally! She's the toughest person I know, both physically and emotionally.

Add Catelyn Stark, Sansa Stark and Cersei Lannister to this discussion, while also noting how everyone loves Jaime and Tyrion without reservation, even though both have done some pretty awful things.

"Ma'am, we hate you and we refuse to look from your perspective."

Yep - not limited to TV. "I'm sure he had his reasons."

Between Sleepy Hollow and Elementary, I'm beginning to think all tv shows should be smart British dudes who utterly adore the women of color (who are grounded, have lives outside their jobs, and interesting family dynamic) they work with. We could do worse.

So I had never heard of this Byron Katie, and a little Wikipedia and Twitter research reveals a woman whose entire philosophy consists of those thoughts you have when you're really, really, way too high, and you think you're being really deep. And if you write those thoughts down and look at them later on, you laugh.

Seconding the Sleepy Hollow recommendation. It's filling the hole in my heart left by Fringe (a law enforcement agent and a civilian consultant exploring weird things? It's basically Fringe 2!) and I love it. Plus, you know, this extremely pretty English guy:

You know what? Fuck this. Fuck anyone who ties their donation to an arbitrary requirement like 'let me motorboat you' or linked to 'number of shares'. The same as donating 1% of sales of your shitty pink product. Charity isn't fucking charity if you're tying it in with your own self interest, it's just a nasty and…

How about this - I'll let them motorboat me if they agree to pay my aunt's ongoing medical bills for her post-cancer treatment, including further reconstructive surgery, therapy sessions, and extensive screening to catch reoccurrences. Oh, and also genetic tests for me, my mother, my female cousins, and every other…

I hate to say it, but as a PhD working in oncology, with years of experience in breast cancer, this crap leaves me shaking my head. I will not be sharing this video with my team of oncologists. If these guys had approached me I would have either wanted to smack them or write them a check to get them to stop…

I thought they already tried incorporating a "conscience clause" in one of their deals last week, and it got firmly rejected by the Senate and the White House?

I think you're overreacting. Pregnancy does fuck you up. It's considered a disease state by those of us in the medical profession. There is a plethora of conditions that only apply to pregnant women.
In other words, calm down.

So all poor people have to do to be healthy and successful like you is quit one of their jobs and/or cut back on how much they work for pay, move to a commune, have said commune watch their kids, and then live off a bountiful garden? Wow. That's so astoundingly reasonable and accessible.

Yep. My husband and I are currently living in a small town with "small town values." People like to call it a "great place to raise a family!" It's not. The "values" are abhorrent. As a result, I am refusing to have children until we move to a real city. Luckily my husband is on board with this plan, but the idea that…

I never wear makeup, and my significant other, friends, colleagues, and family have yet to shun me for it.

They feel tricked because to them a woman is first and foremost a thing to brag with to their friends. If she used any sort of "enhancer", her bragging-value decreases and that's like a real tragedy in broland.

Uggghhh. I get bored of reading comments like yours. You wouldn't have had the idea to do it if it weren't already a part of our cultural conversation. Not saying you don't enjoy it, just saying denying that your personal habit falls within what is socially acceptable is disingenuous.
