Maybe want some better shitty sandals but these are multifunctional since I use them for hiking as well as fashun so idk.

I am sitting in a required training session for what is basically a WYSIWYG editor. blllllluuuuuuhhhhhh

I have no plans to start a soylent diet, but I have smoothies for meals at least once often twice a day, for some of the reasons you mention. Mine always have some fresh ingredients like fruit and greens, but I have scoped out DIY soylent sites for info about ways to up nutrition. I love food, tho, ...

do you have any good articles/blogs about soylent to rec? I'm teaching a class on food and culture and that could be an good addition, I think.

Not a vegan or vegetarian, but I eat like one at home, and I just ordered a Vitamix. I am so stoked about it. My current blender is shit. I do wonder, for those of you who are strictly vegan, if you worry about B12 at all? Just about the only nutrient I know of that basically only comes from animal ...

Dunno where to post this, and I do not want to be too much of a d.so shill. Our of went up today. He was a very good sport. (Non-fashion jort: thanks to maj and the other London-ish c-t folks for being cool.)

I am reading a ton of essays and short stories and poems about food because I am working on the syllabus for the class I am teaching in the fall, a freshman writing class called "The Rhetoric of Food."

This Mark Doty poem is nice:

lol with a mild green like spinach you basically cannot taste it. A fast and healthy meal. A+ would blend again.

Peaches and cream smoothie with hand-picked peaches, homemade nut milk, and spinach

A dude walking down the sidewalk wearing a long drapey ROesque tee. Which would not be that notable if I did not live in a small preppy mid-Atlantic college town.

I like to use vintage childrens' book illustrations for wallpaper.

My direct superior was too busy to give feedback on the syllabus for the class I am teaching next semester, so he pawned it off on his second in command who suxxxx. I do not care about his feedback and I sort of hate him as a person.

Hi, I have had an activation email from here sitting in my inbox for like a month. Eventually I, too, was dragged here by dwindles.

I am a graduate student in literature, occasional FFAer, and all around stand-up citizen.

Currently reading The Rainbow by D.H. Lawerence. Remain unconvinced that modernism is a break with the Victorian period's realism. But it's aight. Recently finished: The Mysteries of Udolpho by Anne Radliffe. One of the first popular gothic novels (1794). Do not recommend unless you are something of...

I am drawn to this nonsense like a moth to the flame-- I really wish that no one needed to be told about gender inequity on a personal or a systemic level, or needed to understand why a political movement should exist to address it, but there you go. if you can't keep snark or strong feelings out of...

Would we say Derrida invented it, generally with the idea of a postmodern world? Short answer: No. Longer answer: Though I am unsure of the origin of the term itself, the possibility for a genderqueer identitification arose from theorists working in post-Derridean fields such as gender and queer th...

"Radical tumblr feminists" did not invent genderqueer, as she suggests. Gender as a social construct is a legitimate academic and socially relevant field, even if some people have taken it past logical extremes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_theory Nostalgia equals conservatism, and ...

On a more relevant topic, does anyone have any suggestion for YA/kids books with not lame/orientalized asian girl protagonists? I'm compiling a list for my little sister (who is ten) and the list is currently one book long. Nothing wrong with non-asian girl protagonists, but my sister reads a lot l...

lol glad to know that you know me so well. (I could cite instances of my own altruistic interest in other kinds of social progressivism but that would be self-indulgent and feeding the ad hominem.) My statement wasn't directed to you. It was a rhetorical question based on a talking point. I really ...

the goal should be equality, not the rights of a sect. That *is* the goal of feminism. How is it academically valid or realistically applicable to subject your personal experiences with harassment based on gender to legislation? What? Is it academically valid or realistically applicable to subject ...

The idea of anti-men feminism is like a parody of 1970s lesbian feminism that never has and never will been representative of the majority of feminists. I am just going to do a link dump because it is not rehashing arguments that have been made 123955798 times before. Not all of these are 100% solid...

Unrelated, I'm interested less in studies, and more in anecdotes. I've never encountered (in a very conservative state, ranked like 49th in education spending) ever, girls being disadvantaged in regards to science or engineering, and I know we've got a lot of college aged girls on this forum. As a ...

tbf i know a lot of nothing about these things but isn't the wage gap mostly related to career choice/amount of hours worked/mat leave being unpaid in the states? http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303532704579483752909957472 That's what I would think/logically makes sense... howev...

I just figured out that the rep things also have messages attached (sorry, I do not go here), and I wanted to point out that two people made the same joke about my calling myself a "stand-up citizen":

I am one of the new folks dragged here by dwindles. I'm not much of a ~creative~ writer, but I'm in a creative-writing-adjacent field (I'm a PhD student in literature), so I'm here to watch. I might try my hand at WICTW at some point though. Most things that I write are not fit for general consumpti...
