Fabric softener apparently reduces the effectiveness of wicking in synthetics. Synthetics dry really quickly, so all my workout gear goes on a drying rack rather than the dryer, so no fabric softener for them. I give my workout clothes two wears at the gym before I put them in the laundry, but I also shower and change…

I adored all of her books—they were the upscale version of my trashier love, Christopher Pike. When I think back on their work, as well as Joan Lowry Nixon, I guess it’s no wonder I still love a good psychological suspense novel!

Lois Duncan novels were some of my absolute favorites growing up. She is an amazingly talented writer. I believe she is reunited with Kaitlyn in a beautiful, peaceful place, and there all her questions will finally be answered and they can be together again.

Oh man. I adore her books and read them over and over as a kid. I’m pretty sure she is the reason I started getting into true crime stuff which I’m still a huge fan of. Her responding to me on a jez post was one of the best things ever. She seemed like such a rad woman.

HOLY FUCK I USED TO BUY HER BOOKS WITH BABYSITTING MONEY AT KMART!! She will be missed! I wish I could remember which ones I owned.

Oh wow, RIP Ms. Duncan.

I read every one of her books that the library had. I loved them, they were perfect for my drama-looking thirteen year old soul. RIP, Lois Duncan, you canny murder-y goddess!

Yeah, I’m confused. Is it that people think workout clothes can be worn multiple times without washing? Or that people need workout clothes to smell good even after they’ve been used and placed in the hamper?

No—it’s a certain kind of athletic wear. My yoga pants don’t stink, but when I was training for a marathon, I had tons of special gear that got dry REALLY fast (because it’s horrible to be running for four hours in soaking clothing).

I’ve started taking my running leggings and shorts into the shower with me after I run and that has helped both with aromas and other accompanying side effects. i throw em over the shower rod afterward to drip dry and then they go into the hamper. It's helped a lot with the smell but it also has extended the life of…

I work out in yoga pants or leggings and I then wash them. They never stink. I’m confused as to why there is a whole “thing” about avoinding stinky clothes.

Well, at least “My Incredible Opinion” is aptly named - after consideration, I find those opinions completely lack credibility.

Don’t let your kid hang out with their kid. ¯\_(ツ)_/ your child’s health is more important than protecting their feelings. My cousin and her husband didn’t believe in vaccinations so their kids didn’t meet my sister’s kids until my nephew was 4. Additionally, my cousin’s youngest child ended up being diagnosed with…

I didn’t quite grasp the levels of disturbing but hilarious but mostly disturbing levels of anti-vax insanity until I was on the receiving end of it after writing a couple of articles on vaccines for work that subsequently were shared a bunch of times on FB. Holy shit, dudes. You’ll be called every nasty name in the…

Don’t have kids, but I wouldn’t want to expose my child to an environment where they could be exposed to diseases not yet vaccinated for. You’re doing the right thing.

Since harming children is what anti-vaxxers are about, is it really any surprise they’re attacking a child online?

Maybe things will change for women but right now, a photo like that could demolish your career. I don’t even care about the social embarrassment - what if I want to lead in my field? People don’t like to see a woman succeed. They will dig up whatever they can find, and a nude photo or some explicit anything from 20…

In my experience, (seeing, not sending) guys in serious relationships don’t share them. It’s usually either at the very beginning (when they think it is just hooking up) or after a breakup. The former often leads to the uncomfortable knowledge that your friends have all seen your hookup-turned-fiance’s boobs.

Re unsolicited dick pics: anyone else follow “Bye Felipe” on Instagram or Facebook? It’s women posting the ridiculous things men say to them on dating apps, unsolicited dick pics, and even threats when they say “sorry, not interested.” The dicks are censored with a fruit emoji, usually. There’s also a petition to get…

For real. Never get on top because EFFORT
