Drunk, right? Also, the way she looked around before vaping and then tried to minimize the cloud…🙄

I feel like a puppy-kicker for finding JVN grating. I appreciate when he calms down and gets real—he usually has lovely and even sometimes profound things to say. But the upbeat high school cheerleader schtick is over the top, and I feel like you can see annoyance behind the plastered smiles of his coworkers when he’s…

Heads up: The subtitle says they went to mediTation, where the article says mediation.

They are used in yin, restorative, and gentler types of classes. Also yoga nidra, sound baths, and other classes where the point is to get cozy. Many places use them to sit on to elevate the hips a little, or provide cushion while seated. Every yoga studio and retreat center I’ve ever been to (all over the US, Sweden,…

A billionaire who owns a major league sports team came to my university for a building ribbon cutting ceremony; the building named after him of course. He wasn’t even an alum of this university. When asked by student reporters what advice he has for students who look up to his corporate and financial success, he…

Kady I really hope YOGA classes aren’t making you do burpees! 

You get individual blankets in yoga classes.

I had the honor of hosting Tristan as a guest speaker in a giant Gender & Sexuality lecture course I taught in the late aughts. The students, over 300 of them, were so engaged, respectful, asked thoughtful questions, etc. Tristan’s way of talking openly and honestly about sex, unashamed, was revolutionary at the…

Documentaries about the Jane Collective, the underground abortion service in Chicago that started in the late 1960s, interview the women who ran it. They talk about those “revolutionary” men at the time who were all raging misogynists and wouldn’t let women talk. The Summer of Love was before the “women’s lib”…

For context on how helpful ACA is, I pay $525/month just to HAVE insurance through my employer, my copays are insane ($60-$100), and my deductible is $3000 out of pocket before coverage kicks in. Everyone who advocates that insurance through one’s employer is better, and the ideal, is bananas.

Audra, you start to say something about supporting 9/11 firefighter families and then it drops off into a different topic. What did they say about 9/11? Considering their show was at its peak around that time I’m curious how they spun that in their support statements.

I’m glad you listened to and helped that woman. 

FYI: kinja has been glitching on and off for weeks where, when you go to post, it says it failed. So you click “publish” again and then by the time you realize your comment has posted 2-3 times it’s too late to delete. It’s happened to me on several articles.

This show was horny AF. I was living that 20-something single life and having a date over to watch True Blood was the late aughts version of Netflix and Chill. 

Yeah and these people are supposed to be from Chicago, and every character sounds completely different. Austin sounds like a “normal American” who I assume isn’t FROM Chicago in the movie.

If I didn’t have a time stamp for when this event happened I’d be convinced this was a 2004-2010 cosplay party.

I watched The Bikeriders trailer. I’m born and raised near Chicago, and was teased in college (out of state) for my ChiCAAgo accent.

Like 70% of Back to the Future was already filmed with Stoltz. They originally wanted MJF but he was busy with Family Ties and other projects. By the time they scrapped Stoltz, MJF was available and they reshot almost the entire film with him pulling doubles—working full time on both Family Ties (days) and BTTF…

Same for the last 36 hours, but seems to be better at the moment?

This is the horrifying state of affairs in the U.S. I am a faculty member and used to teach at a Big Name Public University. I taught lecture courses of 240-500 people in ginormous lecture halls with multiple entrances. Luckily for most rooms we could lock the doors so people couldn’t enter, but we could still exit. I…
