Thin or fine? I have fine, straight hair, and it requires care. Coloring it makes it thicker. Highlights give the impression of thickness. A short hair cut is critical. Mousse, dry your hair upside-down, focus on the roots. Lightweight hairspray to set it. Do not brush it once styled, if you can avoid it.

I am TERRIBLE at doing my hair. I have ultrathin, flat hair that doesn’t hold a curl or hairspray or product very well at all. I can do three things: 1) leave it down (it gets really flat really quickly) 2) put in an anemic pony tail 3) put it in a tiny topknot IF my hair is cooperating and I have time to fuck up a…

I love that in general you can clearly and fairly succinctly explain nuanced stances. (Especially since so many voices in the media seem to have become increasingly polarized, unyielding, and disjunct.) You are consistently a voice of reason in the wild of the Internet and I always look forward to hearing your take on…

So awesome! A perfect rule for living with any other human beings- universal respect without the presumption of sameness.

I am impressed that you came back to this and openly discussed how and why you wrote what you did and that things turned out differently. I think it’s courageous and pretty rare.

I got moved from the best damn schools I’ve been at because of a top level administrative change. I miss my kids horribly, they miss me, and now I am at a school an hour away, so my ability to visit is hampered by the distance. There’s a lot more to it, but my competency had nothing to do with it. I even got a raise.…

No, I moved over to Jalopnik, had a big change in my teaching career, and I’ve been really upset lately with all the in-fighting and “eating our young” mentality of queer activism. And the whole Jenner thing hasn’t helped in this respect. I’m so tired of us arguing about everything, and I’ve been particularly…

I like the cut of your jib.

How about we make a rule that when someone not causing harm to others asks us for a little respect, we give them respect, since we would want others to do the same for us? This was the golden rule ... before the Koch Brothers’ lobbyists rewrote it.

Dogs and Cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

I love how folks tout “God’s Plan” unless the bottom drops out. No one is on the street saying “Welp, I guess it was God’s plan for me to be giving 50-cent* handys in the Tenderloin”

Wait, they dox’d “their” customers on their on facespace page? Thats disgusting.

I live in Portland, OR and these people are the actual worst.

They not only pulled their “Jesus loves a bigot” routine, they posted the names, addresses, and work locations of the women they discriminated against on their Facebook page, which led to death threats, the threat of the women’s foster child being taken…

If you listen to all the things that the Christian Right claims are acts of Satan and things that Satan wants, he actually sounds like a really nice, kind person.

I’d love to see Satan’s day planner.

Plus Satan keeps his word. You win that fiddle, you get that fiddle.

Commenters disagreed: One wrote asking why the Kleins were so upset about GoFundMe canceling their fundraiser when the site was doing the same thing the Kleins had done, refusing the use of their product for something they didn’t agree with.

I didn’t know that Satan cared so much about gay wedding cakes.
