A lot of salons in Philly now refuse to accept credit card tips, and also refuse to take them upfront. You have to hand them to your technician directly. This is partly to save the credit card fees, of course, but partly to protect workers from people taking their tips and from clients undertipping without looking…

Thanks for posting this, Jia.

BDS also has many people who oppose its boycott of academic institutions while remaining deeply supportive of Palestinian statehood and human rights. In addition to the deeply chilling suppression of freedom of speech that it promotes, it also silences the group in Israel who are likely the strongest allies for its…

4 different pics, 5 different ages. How, you ask? In one picture, both my face and my right breast got an age. My right breast was several years younger than my face. Accuracy! (Also it thinks glasses make you hella old.)

Damn. My secret hope was to provide the explanation for the peanut butter so that someone else would chime in with the answer to the potatoes and bread. Allosaurusfagilis, you’ve failed me! WHY CANNOT YOU NOT EXPLAIN THIS OBVIOUS THING?

Interflux corp. She makes parts of things.

Bud Light: No one will believe you anyway.

Since I borrowed my dress and didn't want to pay to shorten it, I calibrated the platform height to the length of the dress. We have some great photos of me jumping rope at the reception in my kicks!

Or, like, lots and lots and lots of money. I hope she was right for your sake!

Much like wanting to have kids, not wanting to have kids is a totally great, totally sane, totally personal decision. Awesome! What is utterly batshit-crazy-insane to me is anyone trying to tell someone who is childless-by-choice that she should have kids. What the ever-loving FUCK? Why on earth would we imagine…

And right on. Anti-cash is totally a waspy thing. Jews are (awesomely) all about the cheques. we registered as a defense mechanism, but were delighted with all those who understood that money is always in style, exactly the right size (especially since we got married in Canada — where I'm from — but were living in…

Someone get this girl in touch with the folks at the Museum of Morbid Anatomy immediately! And everyone who understands how awesome she is, y'all should check it out as well.

The fuggirls give her "Carte Blanchett" on her fashion choices. She's just that amazing.

Yes. Now. Please?
