"Learn how to protect yourself, instead of protecting others." Wow Sherry Sandberg and Ayn Rand...I can't believe you have time to post to Jezebel/be alive....

This was a good story. I'm glad no animals or people were injured and that you seem to be taking it in stride... thanks for telling your nice anecdote.

Wow, feminist-oriented blog..."Robb's Wife" had a name, Talisa. "Ygritte is sad but also mad." Lindy, you should not be writing anything.

Hi. Again...I don't live in the U.S., but it seems like you need a style manual of some sort. I'd be happy to send you an AP style guide book rate, but I really think you need one sooner than the book will arrive.

But you use the word "hubs" so if you wanted to fit right in with white yuppies you could.

Well, Florida, too. I think under Rick Scott it's actually desirable to have a background in clandestine sex work.

You realize that most of the worst people on the entire planet are lawyers, right? I would give anything not to have to read about this libertarian prostitute again but obviously lawyer morals / ethics concerns are oxymoronic.

I was just in Tampa last week and weekend and there seemed to be a LOT, I mean a LOT of bros in downtown St. Petersburg, even more than you'd normally see in SoHo. Like, if you dropped a neutron bomb for bros over Green Bench brewery or whatever it's called, there wouldn't be anyone left standing, including the br0-y…

Cuban bread, the kind you get in south Florida, is traditionally made with lard. Pans can be greased with lard, etc.

I'm white and middle class and I am terrified of the police. I'd probably resist arrest for something as simple as a traffic citation to avoid having to be alone with one.

Give me a break. Here's a link to Chase Madar's excellent article, "The Criminalization of Everyday Life," about the excessive aggression and overarming that are de rigueur, SOP for in modern policing.

Generous endowment.

Isn't this, like, the 10th time you've brought this up? Either get a job where you can work from home (I guess you'd still be able to look out the window and judge your neighbors) or deal with the colleague politely and professionally and limit your contact to work pleasantries.

I'm a petite, thin girl with big boobs, blonde hair, and blue eyes, and I think some people assume I have it easy.

I'd actually be ashamed to be seen wearing flip-flops more than 10 meters from a body of water.

I'm responding with a much shorter list, the list of the first most annoying person on the Internet: Lindy West. God, could this be any more tasteless and poorly timed? I predict even the network and the most stupidest dumbest fans will have a very subdued acknowledgement of this anniversary.

"Let's talk about bathrooms. Let's talk about the transgender experience with bathrooms. Let's talk about my experiences with bathrooms. Let's talk about how what I need, and what I feel..."

How is it possible that you missed, in a three paragraph story, one containing two sentences, the second paragraph which in its entirety is devoted to encapsulating the financial arrangements for this project?

"Probably my last post for a while.." Promise? Maybe you can get together with the person in the M.A. geography program who hates students and college. It is so alarming that you are in a position to give students grades and thus have an effect on their futures.
