Me (to my 2 year old): “you’re wonderful”

Dyslexics Untie!

I’ll continue your off-topic thread and agree. Despite recent research I’ve read about which claims that we retain information differently/better when using actual books, I love the SHIT out of my Kindle. No, I do not want an iPad. I spend enough time staring at a backlit screen and giving myself eyestrain to the…

Okay, this is a different issue, but what the hell is the deal with the hate for e-readers? I prefer my Nook for two reasons: I am moving around a lot because of different jobs and hauling books is a bitch, and I can read with a black background and white lettering. The white-on-black is so much easier on eyes and I…

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know my cheddar biscuits will be free. And I won't forget the men who died, so I can bitch about automatic gratuity.

This is what kills me about these “Christian” business owners. A photographer/baker/florist/DJ/venue/caterer could easily avoid booking a gay wedding* or whatever else makes them feel morally uncomfortable (ugh)—EASILY—by just saying “Sorry, looks like we’re already booked that weekend.” Done. That would be the end of…

That might have been rhetorical but I'm going to tell you anyways...

His dick isn't missing. That's a phallusy,

I feel kind of weird about this because mustard on burns is what we did in my house. I seared the flesh off the top of my hand from touching an oven element at 400 degrees (it hurt), and my mother had me put mustard on it. It's a good idea. It's better than cold water, it really does soothe the burn.

There's no proof that microchips cause vaccines. Duh.

Actually I think this is a very good* example to illustrate that rape is not about sex, but about exercising control and inflicting harm. Usually, when someone claims that a woman secretly wanted it, her appearance and sexual history are where they claim to find evidence for that. A nun is far from promiscuous. She…

I usually think about rape as sexually motivated, in terms of the attacker's belief that he has a right to another's body. But this story shows very clearly that rape is a conscious tool of violence. There was nothing sexual here other than the organs. In choosing to rape this women rather than beat her (or…

Her recent interview on the Daily Show SLAYED me. I didn't know she was so hilarious.

One of my favorite hobbies (sad, I know) is to read all the hysterically terrible hotel reviews on TripAdvisor, so this new Jezebel feature thrills me no end!

Here is my Leonard Nimoy story.

I will never understand the jingoist mindset. For one, it goes so squarely against my notion of how we improve as people and as a group. Bad things happen and must be confronted. The truth is the truth, regardless of whether we like it or not. If I fucked up, I want to know so that I can avoid fucking up again later.…

yup I would wear the fuck out of some Levi's if they had a higher rise and longer leg. Also, those trucker jackets made for someone who isn't 5'2? All over it.

We did a mashed cauliflower one (and it's one of the best-tasting things you can make via a Foodspin column), although to be honest, I think of it less as a Thing To Do When You're Trying To Figure Out What To Do With A Bunch Of Cauliflower In Your Fridge and more of a Reason To Go Get Some Cauliflower, if that makes…
