I don’t wash my legs or my feet and I pee in the shower. IDGAF!

I grew up in a household that many in my small town considered “suspect” - my folks had moved there from a larger city, they were voracious readers, my dad did volunteer work with addicts, my mom was a professional - so I fully understand the feeling of judgement and rejection.

That’s because I used to say, “I’m going over to Julie’s,” and then I walked over to Julie’s. If I were a kid right now, my mom would have to phone Julie’s mom and schedule something three weeks out, between flute and tennis, and my mom would take me the quarter of a block to Julie’s and not leave while I had a…

Counterpoint: “other parents” saved me from madness at home. And I will be forever grateful. For some of us, the craziest parents were not other parents, but the one waiting at home.

This grown-ass lady made herself a goddamn unicorn dress. And wore it to work.

Cheryl Wischhover nails the trend’s “infantilizing” tendency for Racked: “Reconciling being a grown-ass lady who pays rent and buys her own condoms while also enjoying wearing holographic lip gloss that looks like unicorn tears can be tricky, but who doesn’t want to be recognized as magical, I guess?”

I cannot BELIEVE how many people don’t know this shit. I remember hearing the news and thinking “oh shit, the guy from ‘Hang Time’? no way!”

I don’t know that I’d call it weird or gross, but I think it says something that a 20-30 year difference with an older man and a younger woman is very common, while the reverse is rare— and that we as society don’t blink at the former but treat the latter as scandalous if not outright disgusting.

Meanwhile... Life is normal in Canada, Russia, Alaska and the northern US states and they’re all watching YouTube... Why?

And the James St. James makeovers.

I love Look at Huh!

I second that everyone should be watching Untucked, it provides so many insights into each season.

DRAMA

You last paragraph is why I stopped watching after season three. Possibly season four? I don’t even remember. And it is using the same vehicle to tell the same story in slightly different settings every season. It’s just redundant at this point. I have friends that are still devoted and think it is the best TV show…

I guess I stopped watching at the end of the last season because I decided there was enough violence and dread and gore in the real world (especially politics) that I no longer feel the need to watch it on tv. When everything was great under Obama, watching Walking Dead made sense but now . . . no thanks. I’ll go…

If stupid dogs would just do what they were told...

TWD sort of gets around that problem by the entire population carrying the infection, so much like Dunkin’ Donuts, you have “fresh ones” getting made every day.

I live in San Diego where they hulk up on craft beer vomit and food truck scraps.

How large are the raccoons where you live? Remind me never to visit there.

As a light skinned POC, I can attest to much of what is shared.
