Confessions of an academic who grew up poor: I know the meaning of more words than i know how to pronounce. One of the biggest challenges in writing the paper I'm to present this week has been finding synonyms for words I wanted to use but didn't feel confident saying out loud

If you want to know why gorgeous women in their 30s and 40s are shamed for not being more modest and invisible, it’s because patriarchy wants women in their teens and 20s to believe there’s an expiration date on their value so they can more easily be trapped in bad relationships

When my husband was dying, the very last fucking thing I wanted to do was sort through what our health care covered.
That’s time I should have spent with him, instead of on the phone. Buttigieg can rot.

Dear National Media, please do not let Chris Christie rebrand himself as someone with moral integrity. He stood by Trump until the very last moment when he could no longer find a self-serving angle to continue doing so.
“This election was not stolen … there were no type of irregularities that would have changed the result in one state,” Chris Christie says, adding that Republicans making the claim are trying to score "political points” with people Trump “lied to.”
