AMEN! Says this adopted atheist.

I saw a lion with what I and another safari-goer med student diagnosed as a prolapsed rectum [we couldn't get close enough to tell], but he shifted position and we saw that it was only a skinned, swollen testicle, most likely from a fight. True story! Fun Times!

It's sad that Michelle Duggar's internal organs are smart enough to try to run away, yet the woman herself is not...

Would someone please make a "nope nope nope octopus" gif but using a prolapsed uterus? That would be aaaaaawesome!

Had a woman I was ghost writing/assistant editing her memoirs with tell me I could call her "Mommy". When I told her I needed more professional boundaries, she faked illness and a move to get out of working with me. I was her 3rd assistant in months.

I was a new, casual hire at the post office [read: do all the work but make crappy money] and answered the internal phone one day to hear, "Who the hell is this?" I explained who I was and this rude person said he was the supervisor I hadn't yet met because he was out recuperating from a vasectomy. Cue details of his…

Thank you for this.

Every single time I go to the gym (my usual is 3x/week) I have to fight the dread and psychological pain caused by having social anxiety. There have been weeks where I cannot face going. I am not overweight, but it feels like such a judgy atmosphere it's difficult to overcome the thought that others…

If she views herself as "never-quite-good-enough" yet still holds herself to impossible standards, she's gonna have little room for empathy for others and will be highly judgmental. It's a very disordered way of thinking that is pitiful in itself [tho no excuse] and one that causes collateral damage as she…

There is a fine line between being highly organized because you have a busy life and being neurotic because you need to control everything and I think we can make an educated assumption about which side this woman's Vibram FiveFingers are firmly planted on...

Here in the FL/AL Panhandle, we have the threatened/endangered Beach Mouse whose habitat is solely coastal sand dunes, and feral/free-roaming cats are a significant predator*.

We do have a county ordinance that prohibits any animal from being allowed to be "at large" but most folks either ignore it or are ignorant of…

I was yelling at the radio last night on my way home from work, as a guy who had written a book about cooking "real" food vs. processed food was softballed a question about how some folks can't afford/don't have the time to cook and his response totally ignored single parenthood and Food Deserts.

As a current librarian (although one who works with college students), I second your mum! We have a "leisure reading" section in our library to give people a break from all the reference works and dry academic stuff, and stock all manner of fiction [including graphic novels, another unfairly sneered-at medium] so that…

If thunder is Thor striking his mighty hammer, and if a person has thunder thighs, then that sound they make as one walks and they rub together: the Gods applauding!

I tell myself this at the gym as the gam-gapped gals silently saunter by. Also, I'm one of the few who wear long shorts so my thighs don't spread like…

I'm definitely biased towards fur-privileged animals, especially when the foe is a croc [*shudder*]. Team Mammary!

I saw a hawk chasing a sparrow over the beach dunes at sunset this morning. It was beautiful/terrible - the aerobatic maneuvers in front of a gorgeous gold backdrop - and I wanted at the same time for both to "win". [The sparrow got away]

*Adds another Jezebel author on her "will not read" list. sigh* [Breslaw heads it, for her Tablet article]

At 13, the most beautiful, scarily-sexy man I had ever seen . . .

A main part of Gabriel Iglesias' schtick is being "fluffy".

The Best Friend of My Life - the first non-relative in my adult life who truly accepted me - after his torturous 27-year marriage to a horrible person that ended badly, met and then married the Most Wonderful Woman.

Before that happened I had my chance to be with him but did not feel the same romantic attraction as…

OH MY GOD KATIE ROIPHE WAS RIGHT!
