Managed Care
I am attempting to change a few things I suck at in life. I am a typically late person and I hate being late so I am not being late all the goddamned time. I am typically a procrastinator so I am trying to not wait for the last minute for work, stuff […]

What is this pose I’m seeing everywhere?
Yes, I’m looking at you, Gap.
Can anyone explain why a girl with her shoulders hunched to the point of breaking her collarbone is considered pretty? sexy? sweater-selling?

The High Performance Tampon
Isn’t THIS just a regular tampon?

Our Power is Out
Go read this: Amy Sohn: Pissing of moms, dads, and Tibetans, immigrants, feminists, women, and also? People who think, you know, complete thoughts with a swish of intellect and a dictionary.
