I don’t blame climate change on him either. But when the world is burning I will lay it at his feet and all of the other Republicans who refused to do anything about it.

I don’t understand how this guy thinks he has gender differences all figured out (and racial differences, if you read carefully) and that somehow academia has just decided to keep having a debate. The better way to think about these differences is that we simply don’t know how MUCH of the difference is due to…

Dangit, you did get here before me! But it is a complicated issue. Research has shown (oh yes, I’m going there) that when eating disorders are seen as powerful challenges that can be overcome it makes it seem as though eating disorders are one struggle that can make you “find yourself.” So people WITHOUT eating…

I keep flip flopping from “they’ll never impeach this guy” to “they need to impeach him PRONTO so they have an ice cube’s chance in hell come 2020.” I don’t know. Maybe THEY don’t even know. People keep telling me that Pence won’t be much better and you know...I know he won’t be. But at least I won’t wake up in the…

Yes.

Me trying to listen to this song.

So yay for Clarence Thomas not being a total shitbag but can we get some love for Justice Kagan? I’m already obsessed with RBG and Sotomayor but know very little about Kagan. Does anyone have any fun facts about her? Has she written anything that I can read to have her on my rotation of awesome women that I someday…

Before I saw the headline I legit thought this was an ad for a new breast cancer self-scanner of some sort.

Why be an asshole about it? Calm down. It’s a conversation about the archaic notion of a royalty line in a foreign country. If it gets your rocks off to call internet strangers dim witted about it you really need to examine your life.

I was really hoping that “Chained to the Rhythm” was her signal that she was about to turn into a raging feminist. And while the video might be in that direction the lyrics are decidely NOT. Come on Katy...I know you’re teetering on the edge of telling the world to shove their gender roles and sexual objectification…

But your point actually proves the original point to an extent. We DO watch it when it’s a therapist because of the idea we have in our heads of what therapists are like. They know our deepest, darkest secrets. But instead of them being able to help we often think of them as having their own deep, dark secrets and…

Do you know of any literature or research on this? I think I know someone with this set-up but I never considered it a “cultura” thing so much as a “them” thing. I’d love to know more about the norms and unspoken rules around it.

This is definitely one of my favorite shows. Because I’m Latina I’m always a little worried that the show that I think does a great job of representing my culture will do something REALLY bad and then I’ll be so hurt. So I sometimes don’t watch for weeks at a time to avoid the potential heartbreak. So this tells me I…

I’m a social psychologist. Confidence is literally NOT related at all to ability. A person’s confidence is in no way an indicator of how well they will perform on ANYTHING. It doesn’t mean confidence is a bad thing...but it is definitely not a trait in which you should invest any of your money.

Yes, but one point is it’s not an equal choice for all groups of people. Many people use substances as self-medication because they’ve been traumatized, for example. And who is more likely to be traumatized? People who are poor and live in dense, urban housing. It’s interesting that you say people can just move to a…

I’m not exactly sure...but where do you live? It sounds nice.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I’m a professor and my institution is the first to have a Deaf Studies major in my state. A lot of my hearing students love learning ASL and are hoping to become involved in our public school system. Some have told me about the deplorable conditions that our deaf and HOH K-12 students…

There are stories coming out of Mexico of people committing suicide after being deported. As FeloniousReverend mentioned, people who are deported or who are not being let into the country as refugees are often fleeing certain death or likely death in their home country (otherwise, they wouldn’t leave...people love…

This is key, because the antibiotics that work on standard UTIs are different from the antibiotics used to treat G. vaginalis.

I’m not sure if I could handle it. Damn that’s a lot of hotness.
