RAISING A FEMINIST
By Sil Reynolds
In one week my daughter leaves home. My 18-year-old baby turned young woman, Eliza, is packing the car for college: Botticelli posters, red and pink pillows, a desk lamp, closet organizers, a hat stand - nesting things for a nest that I will not be sharing with her. This is our sacred rite, our last great initiation and our milestone together:...

I actually really want to go to Brown University
ipokesquirrels:
not because its Ivy league and
not because Emma Watson goes too
but for the simple reason that they have EVERYTHING i’m looking for
but its impossible to get into (14% acceptance rate)
but its so expensive
but no one thinks i can do it
im really scared, but its something i really want.
We love you! Live your dream! Fuck yeah!
Fuck Yeah John Krasinski '01
nbloggz:
Also, according to IMDB, John Krasinski “graduated from Brown University in 2001 as an honors playwright with a B.A. in English literature.”
I’m attracted to celebrity English majors who went to excellent schools, apparently.
He lived in Wayland and he was in Beasts of Funny. TRUTH.

Tommy Capone '14 commits to Brown lax →
This isn’t fucking easy for us to say but… we really have no knowledge of athletic recruiting. That’s because angels lifted us out of our houses and set us down at Brown. Everything before that was a fluffy marshmallow-scented cloud. Either way, good choice Capone! Way to be an early member of the class of 2014. Fuck yeah Brown laxers!

But fuck no to CBS for misspelling James Morone’s name 8,000 times in this article. Seriously, when the Fuck Yeah Brown copy-editing department can spot that in 10 seconds, you know you have been slouching.

Brown says let your kids sleep in
iamgirelle:
ScienceDaily (June 15, 2007) — Teenagers who stay up late on school nights and make up for it by sleeping late on weekends are more likely to perform poorly in the classroom. This is because, on weekends, they are waking up at a time that is later than their internal body clock expects. The fact that their clock must get used to a new routine may affect their ability to be awake...

ProJo: Ruth Lubrano, Pembroke '23, 107 →
It’s hard to keep our tongue firmly in cheek when reading about a woman like this. Lubrano risked religious censure and her family’s safety to help run the Rhode Island Birth Control League on North Main, a predecessor to Planned Parenthood established in 1931 at which married women could see doctors and be prescribed birth control. This was DECADES before Griswold vs. Connecticut...

From Hogwarts to haute couture, our little Hermione is growing up fast. But rumor has it that Emma Watson, who also happens to be the new face of Burberry, isn’t content to merely play clotheshorse—the fashion-forward ingenue might be designing her own line with organic and fair-trade clothier People Tree, according the Daily Mail.
Of course, the British rag isn’t exactly Britain’s...

canisfamiliaris:
A year ago, a study by Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University researchers reported that fewer than half the patients previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder received an actual diagnosis of bipolar disorder after using a comprehensive, psychiatric diagnostic interview tool — the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). In this follow-up study, the researchers have...
