The CA has a story today about BeJane.com, a site for women wanting to delve into the world of do-it-yourself home improvement. Those ladies up there in the stiletto workboots are the founders of the site. It’s sad, really, that the concept behind a pretty useful website has to be marred by the heavily gendered and feminized marketing gimmicks on display here. Of course, there is the argument that having a site for women DIYers…
I just took the first of the last three sips of this glass of Italian skunkwine (can someone translate my mixed terminology, please?) and I caught a glimpse of an avalanche of sediment tumbling from the little reservoir atop the glass’s stem. Ew. Today I spent the day looking at pictures of dead dogs. Believe it or not, it’s a project I’m working on at work. And it’s pretty sad. Pit bulls bred for meanness…
The Great Peanut Butter Recall of 2007 has left me largely unaffected, thanks to my lifelong devotion to Jif and my more recent devotion to not stuffing my piehole with peanut butter at all. However, my cubemate at work said he woke up the other day and saw the story on the news and just happened to check the jar of peanut butter in the pantry and sure enough it was stamped with the dreaded…
When John H visited Memphis back in December, he asked me what made me become a feminist. I said it came largely from growing up in a religious household where the man was, by virtue of his sex, the automatic leader of the family, and how that view of man at the absolute top was not only personally insulting, but also really impractical. Egalitarian relationships tend to make everyone more happy than those where sex/gender…
I know the Daily Mail isn’t a bastion of progressivism, but sometimes I’m still (naively) shocked when I click over there to read a news story and get to looking around at the place. Take their Femail section, for example. We have another model dying from symptoms of anorexia, the “war” raging in offices between the child-free and parents, celebrity sex tryst news, and a reality show starlet’s story about being beaten by her father.…
O glorious day! Japanese scientists have figured out a more natural way to mutilate and inflate the female bosom! Just suck out some stem cells and “encourage” them to grow breast tissue. Then inject that shit back into Chesty McFlat and make a beeline for the golf course. Thanks, science! (HT: Slate)
I have some kind of mental block against keeping my car clean. So fear me and stay off the road, because one day I have no doubt my car could look like this.
Like when I get to put Stephen Colbert’s face on the front page. I mean, I always like my job, but everyone who works any type of job knows that sometimes there are little nuggets of nothingness that might seem meaningless to everyone else but, with careful attention, can be polished and kept and treasured. And putting Stephen Colbert on the front page is something I can treasure. Cuz I’m a freak. So, yeah. Not…
