I prefer to lean wit it, rock wit it. Direction of rockage and leanage is discretionary.

THANK GOD someone called this shit out.
Lean In benefits the corporate structure...and no one else.
Corporate feminism is bullshit, y'all.

The backlash against the toxic, antifeminist hokum that is Lean In cannot come fast enough. It's fucking Orwellian.

Honestly, anything that puts a fine point on how ridiculously fraudulent the entire "Olympic movement" has become is fine by me. They aren't a blip in the system, they're a by-product of an obtuse corrupt and just plain weird system.

Basically this.

Ughhh. I hate it when people do the whole non-conformist eye-roll and say, "I thought about getting a tattoo, but now everybody's getting them. Yawn." How do they not hear the utter cockshittery of their own words? The entire point of doing what you want is doing what you want, whether you're the first person or the

How the fuck large are these gift bags?!

Kate Beaton has a comic for all situations:

When I started reading this I though the writer was probably at least 45 ... but THIRTY? People are actually worried about dressing their age at 30? That's too funny! It only crossed my mind this year, and I'm 60 ... and the only reason I refuse to wear the current crop of "teen fashion" is because it's unflattering

Wow, a lot of the people in that comment section don't appear to be familiar with Chuck Close's work (cries of this isn't art from people so qualified to make the determination that they've never heard of Chuck Close, true aficionados they are).

I heard on NPR the other day about this really bad batch of heroin that's been killing lots of people in Pennsylvania, and it was heroin mixed with fentanyl, something new that hasn't been seen before. Apparently, deadly OD's essentially doubled just in one town alone. So I am assuming that the police believe that now

This? This here? This is what parenting feels like in its finest moments.
