Haters gonna hate, but this is the reason why I love reality TV. It is so interesting to watch how people respond to tough issues. Reality TV can be really honest in a way that not much else can.

I liked it, but I thought Taylor was pretty sexualized. Hasn’t she sort of been resisting this push? I guess I would have loved to see a kickass, girl power video with a little more clothing.

Yes, I like the song much better with him in it.

Haha I hope you’re right. I did some looking and it didn’t have much impact in America (meth has been harder to make since they put Sudafed behind the counter), but meth use increased in Europe. You’re welcome, world!

Question: what impact has Breaking Bad had on meth making/consumption in America? Has anybody studied this? Did people see the show and decide that it looked like a good way to make extra $$?

FWIW, my mom also felt guilty about sending me to daycare. I freaking loved daycare. I looked forward to going every day.

Same. Most of the time it’s just at background level, but this process is really amping up all my academic anxieties. I know that it’s sort of supposed to, but still. I’ll be so glad when this whole thing is over.

Thanks! Yeah, I know impostor syndrome is a thing and that lots of people (women especially) seem to suffer from it, but it’s still a mindfuck. Thanks for the encouragement and I’m sure yours will go well! :)

I am holed up in my office, trying to crank out my thesis proposal. Even after all these years, I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. I hope I can hang in there and put out a proposal that doesn’t totally suck. For those of you that are near windows, please enjoy them! :)

I’m very sorry for your loss. I have two young cats and I am dreading the day that they will pass. I can only imagine how you feel. You were able to give him a good home and a long and happy life— what more could any cat ask for? Eventually you won’t be so sad and you can feel happy that you had the chance to brighten…

I agree with your point, but those questions are still related to the topic and worth posing.

Very interesting. It’s cool that science can verify that vulture-like dating behavior is a major turnoff.

Can we please talk about how silly Mitt Romney looked while “fighting” Evander Holyfield? It was 100x more ridiculous than anything Ann did.

Shade Court is one of my fav Jezebel features and I’m bummed they didn’t give you a shout out. Keep up the good work!

So PUAs should be very interested in romance novels, for “research”.

If they are implying that he did this on purpose, it is worth pointing out that the Germanwings pilot was straight.

She did it when she was getting over her eating disorder to signify a new chapter in her life.

I had to read for a minute, but I do agree with you. It would be really nice if the average American would see that the GOP is actively working against them... but at this point, it’s not looking good.

I wish I had more stars for this.
