I wore a skirt suit too, cause I got married at City Hall so I was side-eyeing everyone in huge gowns cause... come on, it is 10 am. Wear a suit or a sundress, ladies.

What this country needs is unions to take back what corporations and other large organizations have been grabbed over the past three decades. And you overeducated, underpaid PHDs are just the people to start organizing.

Ugh, I know. And universities will hire only a handful of star professors to teach MOOCs and get enrollment fees from all over the world, while the mass of recent PhDs are going to have to face the fact that they've wasted their youth accumulating debt and eating and sleeping poorly while their more realistic friends…

WAITING for one of those. C'mon, elderly academics with a claw on tenure jobs, what the fuck. Move to a pasture and let ME in.

The thing is I am NOT a fan of either strapless ball gown or mermaid, I just feel like there has to be a better alternative...

I find reading about sex incredibly boring. I just skip past the sex to get back to the plot.

Same exact scenario here. When I'm out in public with my still-beautiful, former-model mother, people still ask her—within my earshot—if I'm adopted. I'm in my 40s! Way harsh.

I can dig your feelings here - she was flippant. But I think that is in response to the animal rights activism that put animal rights above her human rights. They are being flippant about her survival, and this was her way of addressing it.

The seal hunt is a sustainable practice that allows people living in a part of the world with very few other sources of food to acquire protein and clothing. It's also a tradition practised by a sovereign people that harms no other people, and allows them to maintain their dignity and self sufficiency. Comparing it to…

If you do some research in to the food available to aboriginal Canadian communities, especially in Nunavut, you may change your mind. What we are able to easily buy and consume in major cities - green peppers, lettuce, vegetarian/vegan sources of protein - is simply not available in those communities, and if they are,…

There is a long and sensitive cultural history behind her position. She's not some Hollywood celebrity advocating buying overpriced fur for fashion purposes. You should at least read more about her position on the subject. I'm a vegetarian but I understand that aboriginal Canadians need and should be able to preserve…

Killing, eating and using their fur and other parts of the seals as the indigenous peoples of Canada have been doing for eons.

Gads. I absolutely hate when my coworker in the office next to me clips her nails. I can't imagine being right next to that for a whole flight. I'd end up shoving the nail clippers up her nose and yelling, "Clip this, bitch!"

It depends on the school. Where I taught, that particular school system had a rule that if you required anything beyond "something to write on" and "something to write with," (you couldn't even specify kinds of paper/writing instruments) you had to be willing to supply things to kids who couldn't afford them/didn't…

I think you underestimate exactly how many messages women get on these sites…

1) You are wrong, you just won't admit it.

Both my sons go to public schools in Texas. Textbooks are provided. Anything else we pay for. Gym clothes we have to buy from the school. Locks for lockers - buy from the school. Required agenda spirals - buy from the school. Reading The Illiad? Buy it, and it better be the right translation. Need a graphing…

Thank you.

That is great that they could provide school supplies. Yeah, I am living in the South and it is a goddamn nightmare for some parents. The neighbor boy offered to mow our lawn for $10, and since we don't own a lawnmower, we accepted. I unfortunately realized that he was immediately giving that money back to his family…

That's it. By the time I got to high school, the rule was that you couldn't use red or pink pens and that you had to use a pencil on math tests. Other than that, you could take notes on cocktail napkins and no one would give a crap.
