Well that's my exact worry- his ability to stay with it. So far he has a dismal record of starting and completing projects, which has me in a tizzy all the time. The money is decent (he makes more an hour welding than I do at my nonprofit "white collar" job) but contractual work makes me nervous.
What about the marginally employed but unable to decide on a career path boyfriend?
A 30 minute workout won't cut it, but for those that run an hour or more or for atheletes, a cup of chocolate milk aids in muscle recovery through a combination of protein and carbohydrates.
This is true if it's drunk casually. After an intense workout, however, many people actually need to restore lost electrolytes, particularly those who are "salty sweaters." A little bit of an -ade does the trick.
In your studies did you ever get a chance to read Decolonizing Methodologies by Linda Tuhiwai Smith? She speaks mostly about South American indigenous communities, but, like you indicated, she pushes the notion that the scholarly drive to "know" other cultures can be colonizing in itself, and the inherent difficulty…
Has anyone else seen this movie? Parts of it are ridiculous, but I found it entertaining. It's another one of those fictionalized narratives about prehistoric man, but it does touch on some basic anthropological milestones and suggests how humans developed links between the concrete and the abstract.
By the way, for anyone interested in the actual paper, it's here. Intriguing, but less sexified than the headline here :)
I didn't mean to imply you were suggesting that religion could explain prehistoric art (though, to be fair, "art" as its own category is fairly new), but I simply saw a parallel between two fields that can, against their own training, simplify complex human behavior.
As a fellow scholar of religion, I get really annoyed with "We don't know what this is? Must be religion!" It reinforces the questionable nature of our field, especially since we do a lot of theorizing about the social construction of religion (e.g. what's at stake in calling a system "religion" or behavior…
I live in Atlanta. There are a lot of dimwitted, openly racist people in Georgia, but I haven't come across another large city as integrated as Atlanta.
A lot of Georgia is bad but Atlanta can be a pretty welcoming town.
Defend the Haredim all you want, but they are bigoted, hypocritical assholes. They don't contribute to Israeli civil life outside of taking handouts from the government, which, they say, shouldn't even exist in the first place.
Tracie's "reviews" aren't even recaps anymore. There's a lot going on in this show, and part of the blogger's job here is to lift up stories and themes. Tracie's simply not. I read reviews elsewhere, but in general I like the commentariat at Jezebel and the strength in Gawker's sites isn't so much the writers…
IIRC, around $100 a pair
I just don't think she's as self conscious about her choice to Instagram everything as you think she is. If she's all about creating an image, cool. But I don't think it's that. I think she needs the attention, and I think it's often for *certain people* to see. Like when you wrote not so thinly veiled entries about…
I agree, that's sort of my point. It's supposed to be funny because it *supposedly* doesn't happen. A man getting beat up by a woman? Never! Hilarious
The foot-to-balls act is perpetrated by male and female characters. I still think that this ad, in particular, is playing with gendered norms: the scantily clad women at car shows/rallies, fembots as male-desire made (almost) real, women as demure and on display to please men, especially in this sort of setting.…
Yeah, they're on the outs. They will continue to sell clothes to mean tweens, but once those kids turn 14-15, they'll want to be in Urban Outfitters or H&M or even Target. The A&F brand just isn't cool anymore, mostly because they've made it their ideal not to evolve. The preppy, douche look was trendy in 2000, but…
While I agree that the violence is unnecessary, the ad only works because it's playing off the idea that this situation (women kicking men's asses) is anomalous. It's also messing with the trope of the fembot (as was Austin Powers).
