I'm so so glad to know there is a thriving community of "pickers" out there. It's almost like when I found out about inferiority syndrome and felt 15 years of imagined shame completely disappear.

Thank you (y'all know who you are) for reminding me you can comment on these ads. Hey Kroger, you want to "celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month"? You know what would be a good way to do that? Pay Hispanic migrant works a living wage. Asshats.

The Basque lauburu, a puffy looking swastika, is also "inverted."

A dear friend of mine has started a fantastically feminist tumblr about her experience dealing with OKCupid, Uh-Oh-Cupid. One of the most recent posts was about the man-choosing-the-woman nature of the site and dating culture in general. Everyone should check it out: uh-oh-cupid.tumblr.com

Maybe 300 refers specifically to women targeted on the factory buses?

The giant P&G coupon booklet that came in the mail the other day makes so much more sense now. Mama's gonna get some new Swiffer pads and Mr. Clean erasers.

Anasa kata...?

The role of student government depends on the school. My alma mater has a very active student government, and was actually the first collegiate student government in the U.S. Between SGA and the Honor Board, student input in rules and initiatves for the college is common practice, meaning women in those offices have a…

Haha, that might just be grandparents. My dad's parents mix up names between my brother and one of our cousins. The names are not at all similar, and the boys are 16 years apart.

It used to be more common, but has definitely mostly died out. I love old naming practices because you can really see who people are related to, AND, even though women obviously weren't passing down their surnames, maiden names and other markers from the wife's side often went into naming children. My dad once told me…

You can have a double first name and a middle name, or the middle name is part of the double name. I've honestly never seen a given double name hyphenated... But yeah, like Mary Sue or Ginny Anne.

Clearly! I mean the only notes we should be comparing are recipes from home ec.

Other comments aside, using a last name as a first name is a pretty common practice in the south. (My brother's name is an epitome of a specific use of this: the "dying out" out a surname. My grandfather had a sister and three daughters, therefore no-one (at that time, traditions standing) to carry on the family name,…

THREE, THREE people. This is in no way a study that we should be throwing much weight behind for that and several other reasons. Yes, soda is bad for your teeth, this has been known for years. Comparing soda-drinkers's teeth to those of drug-addict does not seem terribly constructive for any group involved.

I thought that little piggy goes "wee wee wee all the way home."

I have never been one to plan for some future far off wedding, but holy hell I want all of that on me at my wedding.

Probably the later. The GOP likes to parade around their racial and gender minorities in a comically/depressingly vain attempt to show just how inclusive they are.

Forget the Teenage Dreams lipsyncing, I Make Love to you is where it's f'ing at. Also, agreed with everyone in seriously needing this today. Way too much Cleveland coverage, not enough cute bearded men lipsyncing songs of my teen years.

He calls out sociology (a social science) specifically, not to mention this article did not occur in a vacuum but is yet one blip in the ongoing "STEM is the only way" argument in which anthropology is often provided as an example of "useless" degrees and careers. So yes... I get a bit defensive. I'm also tired of…

Ah, good to know my work in anthropology to give communities greater decision-making power in mining development projects doesn't qualify as "skilled labor" or contributing to "a way to keep out planet from shriveling up."
