Fuck Harvard to hell. Their endowment interest alone is so large that they could pay the tuition and salary of every student and professor and still make money with not another cent donated. Read more

I spent basically all day, from 8am til 6pm, in the car, shuttling people back and forth to approximately a million different places. I had 2 kids stay home from school with different ailments. I’m exhausted and my sprained foot hurts from driving and walking around all day. Also got my period unexpectedly early and… Read more

It’s probably worth it right up until you go through a security checkpoint and it gets taken because you forgot that you had a weapon in your wallet.

None of them blend super well, but the Think brand is a bit better. I am so fair skinned that most people don’t notice the zinc oxide. If you have a more… Read more

You know, I did, and I think I figured my issue. I am testing my hypothesis now.

Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, but if you’re talking about that one post that was linked on the Social tonight, it’s nearly 10 years old, and Slaybelle — apparently — hasn’t been active on Kinja for more than a year and a half. (For some of the other mods, it’s been even longer.)

How can you mention the era of messy, unlikeable women on TV and not give a nod to the real housewives franchise - that’s the entire brand in a nutshell?  (I guess you were only discussing scripted television)
