Exuberant moves, I love it! I feel like getting up and dancing now. :D

I just...don't understand! HOW CAN SHE MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT HOW TWERKING IS HER NEW THING WHEN SHE CAN BARELY DO IT?! lol...

Also, I am a liiiittle weirded out by how she's only using black women as her backup dancers and then how she was making all those gestures at one of them. It's got this weird racial…

Lol i love how all the One Directioners in the back are watching with a bemused expression while Zayn is bobbing his head along and Harry is chewing on his gum. And Rihanna's face. Truly an amazing reaction <3

HAHAHA yes I was just about to point this out but am so happy you found a gif. I can feel his embarrassment through the screen...

You're welcome! I found myself crying and searching the internet for a cure for cystic acne one night a few weeks ago, which finally forced me to do something about it and talk to a doctor. But I hope your cyst can easily be taken care of through these current methods!

And yeah, I wouldn't recommend Proactiv as a…

Ugh, I've been suffering for cystic acne every month (or every other month if I'm lucky) on my chin for a couple of years now and finally went to a dermatologist a couple of weeks ago. She prescribed Retin-A at night, Avar-E emollient cream for the daytime (it's sulfur-based, which you might find helpful in other…

As someone who is taking my Ph.D. comprehensive exams beginning on Monday (AHH), I can definitely tell you that you deserve a night off. In fact, maybe even the weekend off! I recall how stressed and hopeless I felt a month and a half ago about my exams, since I would read and read but fail at concentrating and truly…

tweenymama, thanks for your insight on labor. That's a really interesting way to put it. When I got my paragard IUD, the big cramp I felt as they used the sounding tool and actually inserted my IUD was bad (but bearable) and then I went home and patted myself on the back for surviving fairly well. Then I asked my…

I love her and I love this interview. The highest compliment I have ever been paid is being compared to Tina Fey's mannerisms and nerdiness. I would just like to add that her hair looks AMAZING in this interview.

yeah, this sounds eerily similar to what my sister says about her own 2 year old daughter! she really has tried to kill her mommy. hahaha and tears.

Yeah, it's not that hard to be a little more specific than an "Africa" theme. Can you imagine a "North America" theme for a nursery? LOLZ.

Even the tradition of drinking tea was coopted from the Indian subcontinent and was the basis of a longstanding colonial encounter through the British East India Company! GRRR COLONIALISM!

Is "Shiite Wing of the Republican Party" your term of choice because the word Shiite sounds like shit...? (why, how hilarious, a badly transliterated Arabic word sounds like an English term for poop. /sarcasm)

If so, I won't let myself get too bothered. But otherwise, I'm uncomfortable with the name of a whole sect of…

I'm having this same issue! I used to have my own student health insurance but got added onto my husband's after getting married. My husband never gets sick and has no diseases, so he was duped into signing on for the HSA health insurance plan, and I didn't realize how high our deductible was before getting added onto…

Ooh, just like I used to wear throughout my childhood!

We should introduce him to bobby pins to get those bangs off his face and fix the flyaways!

I thought pigtails were braids?

Maybe this "fact" was not about Puritan women in the 16th and 17th centuries but actually relating to the New England Congregationalists who followed them. It seems that they were much more lax about these sort of things. You might be interested in reading Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's A Midwife's Tale (if you haven't read…

yeah must be a really weird filter that messes with exposure and clarity.

ALSO I FEEL REALLY DIRTY RIGHT NOW. I saw this pic in the banner and thought to myself "Oh HELLO THERE, who is this sexy new celeb?" and then felt like puking when I realized it was Nick Jonas. OF JONAS BROS FAME. They're grown ups now?!??! WTF!

Thanks for your insight! It's pretty cool that you two were in the same choir. I agree that she seems pretty intelligent. To make it this far and write so many popular songs for huge artists in the industry clearly takes a certain amount of know-how and work! I guess she's just super meta - both critiquing society…
