Piling On

So you agree? You think you're really pretty?

So you agree? You think you’re really pretty?

Have you heard about this? That Princeton ladies need to “find husbands” on campus or…else…something terrible happens to them? I realize everyone is talking about this article, but I wanted to hear what y’all think about it. This isn’t really about Princeton, per se- my oldest friend in the whole world went there and is a perfectly nice, humble, sweet person who doesn’t think she’s better than you (although she’s really great and probably is). What it is about is why on earth women in this day and age are advising each other to define themselves with wherever their husbands spent time ages 18-22.

What do you think? Obviously, the waters of the dating pond are pretty choppy, but um…is it that bad? Am I delusional or something? What do you think?

Lazy Sunday: 3 March

The promised land of links for your enjoyment is here:

  • There are only four kinds of Chicken McNugget.
  • “Honey, you know what I think would really tie this room together? A tank!” Apparently more than 1,000 Americans have uttered this sentence and then acted upon that impulse.
  • Watch The Timberchild and the Timberman dance!
  • My Missed Connections obsession is so well-known that people just send me links like this without any description attached.
  • Mansplaining is a thing, and Hillary Clinton is going to explain it to you in GIFs.
  • This actually makes me feel better about porn. Thanks to this dude who crunched the numbers!
  • So this didn’t happen: For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.
  • We’ve caught up to the Jetsons and their “wholesome hedonism.”
  • The provenance of personal ads.
  • I’ve never understood why I needed to be SO EXCITED at work, but it totally works on me when people do it to me.

Kentucky: My Beloved Home

Kentucky is pretty. So you agree? You think it's really pretty?

Kentucky is pretty. So you agree? You think it’s really pretty?

I left Kentucky for a few years, and I’ve lived all around the country (and the world, I guess) over the last 25 years, but this place is home and I love it unconditionally. It is beautiful and full of unpretentious, fun people.

WHICH IS WHY I AM SO INSULTED THEY LEFT OFF BOTH TURTLEMAN AND THE BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS FROM THIS LIST. WHY WASN’T I CONSULTED?
