Things I Learned Yesterday
That if you put “911 is a joke” in your g-chat status, all of your friends who grew up listening to Billy Joel etc will not get the reference (your friends are not Gwenyth Paltrow, obviously). Your friends may also think you have turned into a 9/11 Truther, and some very uncomfortable conversations will ensue. All of which is to say, come to this rally today.

Here’s a great idea: Bar funding for abortion training so that health care providers aren’t able to learn how to safely perform one of the most common medical procedures in the country. What could go wrong? jessicavalenti: Well, fuck.

You live in heels, spend the majority of your gym time doing squats, and even on occasion wiggle into a pair of padded underwear. All your efforts have been in vain — nothing has given you Kim K’s derriere. Today’s Loot can help you get the booty you want. We’re offering a Brazilian Buttock Lift with Dr. Victoria Karlinsky at New Look New Life Surgical Arts for...

Old People Things: Kreayshawn Explained.
That “Gucci Gucci” video has been all over the Tumblrs of the 20 or so people I follow, and all up on my Twitter feed, and now also in the g-chat statuses of every third person I’ve ever exchanged emails with. And I am an old person, so I totally Wikipediaed Kreayshawn because I had no idea who she was, but it turns out that either (a) no one else knows who she is either, or (b)...

Oh hey speaking of ridiculous things to get mad...
Animal ethicists are calling for a new vocabulary about animals, shunning words such as “pets,” “wildlife,” and “vermin” as derogatory and even suggesting “animal” is a “term of abuse.” Common language on fauna betrays an “anthropocentric bias” and impedes an understanding of our interaction with the non-human species sharing the planet, argue the editors of the first academic journal...

Ask a Spider
It is good to know that it’s not only feminist bloggers who get ridiculous demands from readers about what they Should Not Post. Spider pictures are apparently a no-go because some people have arachnophobia, and the entire internet should be their personal Safe Space when it comes to pictures of arachnids (which seems like a totally reasonably and healthy way to go through life, right?)....

Anonymous asked: Hi.
I follow you on twitter and saw your newfound love for Frank Ocean - so I was just wondering what your thoughts on Odd Future were. I'll admit I can't get over my immediate disgust and my discomfort with a lot of the hype (probably best expressed here : http://www.theroot.com/views/odd-future-s-odd-fan-base),
Anyway, sorry to ask this on a tumblr devoted to beautiful...

sadydoyle: Jill’s recent post about call-out culture? I didn’t agree with every line of it. I didn’t have to. I agreed fully and totally with other parts of it: For example, the shit about “flaying oneself open.” I’ve been very uncomfortable with the fact that I have to talk about having social anxiety…
