What do you recommend for drinking yourself stupid? Do you mix yourself something special, or go for the wine/beer?

Can’t not link that!

YOUR EX IS A TUMOR

I want to thank all of you who gave me Red Lobster advice last week. Yes, I had MANY cheddar biscuits, and yes, I DID experience gastric distress! It was glorious.

This is something I actually love about exegesis, either religious or literary, if it’s read as metaphor and personal grappling as it should be. Some theologians and religious scholars going back many centuries believe this is an important part of reading sacred text, including the Bible — reading the white space…

OK, you’re clearly enthusiastic and I was going to let this go, but I see you’re ejaculating all over the comments with this spunk so I can’t.

So angry. I’m so angry, I think the tears are turning right into steam.

Hello! Hi. Just a feminist woman married to an uncircumcised man, popping in to join the chorus: You’re wrong about everything. Good harmony, everyone else, see you again soon!

I was born in the US and my folks still live in the Suburban Northlands, but I rarely see them and I haven’t spend much time here, especially the south. The place in the US I’m most familiar with is NYC, and now I’m the region of Texas/Oklahoma/Arkansas. It’s a far cry from the UK, to me at least.

I’m mainly working with a very conservative religious group while I’m down here, and one thing I didn’t anticipate was all the earnest eye contact. SO MUCH eye contact, and I don’t know what to do with my face!

I knew you would give me good methodological pointers!

My new favourite beer is Shiner Bock, brewed in Shiner, TX. It’s smooth + ambery + cheap. I feel like every bottle should come with a little fringe swede vest around it.

Your friendly anthropologist here, living in the US South for fieldwork. I went to Walmart on my first ever solo mission this week, got very lost, and bought some pink hunting camo moccasin slippers.

This is sort of what I’m wondering, how many women in this area will take measures to prevent pregnancy this year? The husband and I were considering conception in 2016, but might hold off until I’m back home. I can’t help feeling like I’m having a privileged overreaction.

I listened to Serial, Undisclosed, etc., I believe in Adnan’s innocence and, beyond that, I see how (sadly) desperately the work of the Innocence Project is needed in this country. Then I read the off-hand “But he did it tho, duh” comments on all related Jezebel posts and I feel sick.

NB: My own unlikely exposure to Zika is not what is actually horrifying about this outbreak. The likelihood of me personally being affected by this is, I’m sure, negligible, and ultimately beside the point. I’m just a foreigner trying to understand the scope of things.

As we get into summer, I’m sure there’s going to be much discussion about how freaked out people of breeding age in the southern US should be, so I don’t want to get ahead of myself buuut... As a potential breeder person from Europe who is working in this southern US in 2016, may I ask, how freaked out should I be?

Somehow when I read the headline I thought they had only been caught *plotting* the kidnap and murder, and the wee lamb was still alive.

How long before it’s ok to wear a onesie on a plane?? Ones with footies, obviously. Alternative: Can we have airline-issued snuggies instead of blankets?
