Maybe I'm officially a grumpy old person, but having a university-sanctioned event with music bumping so loud you can hear it through noise cancelling headphones inside is bad enough but having to hear "superman that ho" at work is particularly gross.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Sounds like an empirical question! Bubbles + flavor didn’t hurt, so I assume flat + flavor would be fine.

I swear, you invite a guy ONE TIME to be part of a Moby Dick book club and then you're known as the Moby Dick Guy for eternity (this looks right up my alley and I can't wait to listen, thank you for making it specifically for me, a stranger)

Just thinking maybe, perhaps, possibly, it’s time to stop putting JK Rowling things in the crossword puzzle

A crossword with the clue “Fifth-year student leader at Hogwarts”

Now I'm wondering whether anyone has ever made an International Phonetic Alphabet crossword. It would take care of the all diacritic/accent mark issues, but I imagine you'd have people coming at you with dialectal difference pitchforks, particularly for vowels (e.g., the /pɛn/ - /pIn/ divide)

Trifle! Layers of berries, vanilla custard, whipped cream, and pound cake. Can be as easy (instant pudding, store-bought cake) or labor-intensive (everything from scratch) as you want. Can sprinkle the cake with sherry or rum if your mom likes a little boozy flavor.

Mr. Van Eman - freshman and AP bio. Folksy and brilliant, with a particular affinity for botany. He was so passionate that I still get excited when I think about the Calvin cycle. He had super high expectations for us all year but when the AP exams were over he taught us how to play bridge.

Each kid in my daughter’s kindergarten class wrote and illustrated a book this spring & they presented their books today. I know I’m supposed to have a slightly more sophisticated understanding of child language development but I’m pretty sure it’s 75% witchcraft

Every once in a while I will revisit something (a paper, some code, writing, whatever) that I struggled with in the past and the rush of realizing I've learned stuff in the interim that makes it less of a struggle the second time around should be bottled and sold in gas stations.

Don't put off your homework 'til the last minute, kids, especially if your homework involves significant computer processing time. My laptop sounds like it's about to take off into low earth orbit and my homework is no closer to being done than it was an hour ago.

When I worked in a rat lab, we indexed depression by how long it took them to stop swimming when you put them in water. Rats are neutrally buoyant; when they give up, they float. 15 yrs later, I wonder how many trials w/a given rat will be valid. At some point, won't they figure it out & have fun?
