No advice on the generational divide — I was one of the young ones in law school. But my best advice is that although law school kind of sucks, it bears no resemblance to being a lawyer, which is awesome. Do the reading, try not to pay too much attention to grading curves and rankings and the annoying know-it-all…

Started Law School this past week. Didn’t expect it to bring up so much emotional turmoil. I (stupidly?) approached it just like starting another job, albeit a very, very tough job. And I’ve have plenty of demanding jobs. The hours and the work didn’t scare me.

My husband has not been doing his part for our 2-month old and I am about to murder him, but we have a dinner reservation for our first post baby date night that’s been on the books for like four months. I would rather take a bath and read a book that has nothing to do with parenting for two hours, but hey. At least I…

Wow. This is so early. Yay! I get to procrastinate earlier tonight.

Leo only dates younger women for the same reason Clooney did: women his own age are smarter than he is and therefore are more threatening and less likely to put up with crap.

Almost like the Royal motto is “never complain, never explain” or something.

Among the many, many reasons we need to take the House in November—the Senate would be great, too, but the House is essential—is one that most people are not aware of: it will provide access to Trump’s tax returns.

Oh! My cat makes that noise when he wants me to play with him.

The academic who wrote that tried really, really hard to not say what they really meant: “It’s not the same thing, because this time, I know this person.”

Advisors have a lot of power over their advisees. They can make your life miserable, torpedo your career early on. I know mine, while mostly well-intentioned, made me suffer greatly due to her untreated psychiatric problems. The power imbalance in this relationship cannot be stressed enough.

I can understanding defending a friend, but throwing in a disclaimer that is basically, “and women can’t harrass men anyway” pretty much renders that defense bullshit.

It’s only now, with the language around the MeToo movement, that I’ve been able to look back at what happened to me in graduate school and recognize that it was sexual harassment. Because my advisor was a woman (as am I) everyone just said “she’s hard to work with.” Without a doubt, that experience changed my career…

I’m currently trying to get my PhD, and I want something like Title IX and whatever institutional bodies that protect trainees from harassment to function well for anyone who has a mentor. I don’t give a shit that she’s a well-respected female academic that’s advocated for feminist causes for decades. She used her…

Many of the male sexual harassers seem like desperate, dirty old men. Doesn’t make it any less harassment.

God some of the things the women said in that NYT article were terrible especially the one that seemingly implied title IX shouldn’t be used against women.

The one on the left in the top picture is just half-heartedly roaring. Baby just wants to nap but the siblings are going on and on about SOMETHING and FINE but after this I’M NAPPING.

The other dumbest injury story that I have which may actually be more on brand was the time when I stapled my thumb as a 6-year-old, just because I wanted to see how it felt. 

Like many of you (but probably not nearly enough of you) I trim my pubes.....

Fell off a bathroom counter when I was 10 because I was trying to see what my asshole looked like. 

Before mine, I’m curious if Megan can share what would be an appropriate amount of human blood in her soup that would stop her from throwing soup out?
