Yoga pants are meant for yoga. For some reason people started wearing them like jeans. If you don't want to see people of all different body shapes, don't go to a fitness class. 

Quicksilver: it comes out of the wall!

I’m currently pursuing my PhD in Neurobiology and have made this a huge part of my career since I’m interested in pursuing a career in science policy just as much as doing bench research. I see this attitude all the time in my department and previous labs I’ve worked in at other institutions. The default is always…

This is all by design, of course. Keep the poor unhealthy & uneducated and popping out an unhealthy, uneducated workforce for the oligarchs to take advantage of.

I’m going to wear a hat like that every time I beat with a fabulous red umbrella, the next person who asks “when are you going to have children?”

Obligatory:

Back in college, our University ran the local section of the public transit system. It was actually a great job to have, and I loved most aspects of it. I have two stories, in particular, that people seem to enjoy...

Oh god, can you imagine if Obama even made a typo before his morning coffee? It would be absolute proof that he’s a Muslim born in Kenya and also that all black people are less intelligent and also probably he’s an illuminati lizard person.

My body didn’t know shit when it came time to have my son. He was content to stay in there forever apparently, and my body would have let him. Because of modern medicine, my doctors knew that there was a potential problem because his heart rate was dropping dramatically with each contraction and we decided to go ahead…

The thing is? Bodies don’t really know shit. We die from literally countless things and in the main it’s because the body cannot recover from whatever it was that damaged it. 

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

I could see this film.

I did and I’m stupid. 

Fucking really? Best of luck to your daughter with a parent that’s this obtuse. 

Kamala is smart and tough. She’s my pick for 2020! 

The u/s said I was half a week or so past the cut off, which I was surprised to learn was that early in my liberal state. I heard the nurse mutter something to the doctor, he hissed in response, “I’m not sending her to [next state over].”

Love that Midweek Madness is back, and that Brad and Jen are pregnant with their 114th child.  Mazel you two. 

you are adding on to his thoughts with some additional “kids don’t matter” thoughts of your own.

False. If both parties are looking for something long term when they meet, discussing the big life stuff early is a great plan. Case in point, this couple. If they hadn’t discussed it early then it would DEFINITELY hurt like hell when they found out.

They’ve been dating a few weeks...
