Yes! Solidarity!

Good point! Also - your bra bomb better work!

Yup... As someone who is currently pregnant I can anecdotally confirm that so many people think they need to say something to you and that they see no problem in invading your personal space to do so. I have managed to avoid belly touching, but I have a feeling that’s because I have natural propensity to give cut-eye.…

I think you meant: And she was in Robin Thicke that douchebag’s “Blurred Lines” video. ;)

I found it: https://webspace.yale.edu/anth254/restri…
(also “restricted” - c’mon Yale, that is some lax webspace protection)...
Anyway - I fucking love those repressive bentos as an outsider. I would fail miserably if I even tried.

Way back in undergrad I took the “anthropology of food” (that’s a real course I swear!). There was a great article I remember vividly about obento in Japan and it’s role in enforcing gender norms and defining conceptions of motherhood.

Starred because your name is so well-aligned with this comment! I love it.

Not the thing-a-ma-bobs? I’ve got twenty.

I love me my physical sunblocks. A little extra whiteness and grease is worth it.

I watched this from home and could hear him the whole time. I just assumed that when he threw the mic he was done because... Kanye...

This is the first thing I think of whenever I hear “Test Tube Baby”

And because now I am knee deep in old Simpsons episodes... for those of you who are, sadly, too young to remember Simpsons when it was good:

The first probably 6 or so seasons of The Simpsons (depending, I think you could probably argue up until season 8) were very similar to BB in terms of family dynamics. Sure, Homer was a much bigger idiot than Bob, but they were not cruel and it the undertones were very much about the importance of family. God I miss…

Well I booked a better seat when I checked in early and online like I always do but then they changed it and I got stuck in the crappy seat. Since you’re clearly an inconsiderate tall jerk I guess it would be too much to ask you NOT be such an asshole and get off your ass and NOT book the seat right in front of the…

There is a special place in hell for people who push their seat back all the way at the start of the flight. In fact, I’m pretty sure there is an even more special place in hell is for people who push their seat all the way back when they are the second row from the back of the plane. What? No - I’ve never been…

Seriously! The very first thing I thought of when I saw that photo was this:

I never said it wasn’t animal abuse - I agree that it is. Not sure where you got that I was condoning and/or didn’t think it was abuse. I was just providing a probable explanation for why his cockfighting involvement doesn’t come under the same scrutiny. The cockfighting industry in the Philippines is far more massive…

I’m sure it gets far less negative attention because it’s still incredibly popular in the Philippines. While I vehemently disagree with cockfighting it’s a societal norm in his country. It’s not seen in the same light as dog fights.

Just agreeing that PLoS journals are kinda overrated. It’s an interesting publishing model and those who submit tend to regard that highly - but their review and acceptance process has been questionable for quite some time.

See, I hate shopping too - though less so for home goods (unless it’s Ikea, I just loathe Ikea) - but I’d much rather go with someone else than alone purely because it takes my mind off the actual shopping.
