I could never articulate exactly what bothered me so much about Pence’s face in these situations.  (I can, however, articulate what bothers me about everything else about him.)  Your description is perfect -- especially the “default power saving neutral face.”

That is weirdly accurate

I once bought a bottle of the Skinceuticals vitamin C+E serum with ferulic acid, and I was so sad to realize how awesome/effective it was and how I’d have to keep shelling out a crazy amount of money for it. But then I saw that some clever people online, with chemistry backgrounds, posted recipes for how to mix a…

I love this clip, and I love you for posting it.

On the one hand, every time she’s injured or ill, I’m enraged that the universe is doing this to her. Doesn’t it understand how important she is? Is the universe really that evil?

This is really good.

I think you’re absolutely right. It totally explains the weird interlude of her going through her bag and then trying to cover the futility of it by cinching the bag and putting back her hair.

Yes -- I loved Platano Man’s commentary and intervention, but the Asian guy was the one who physically placed himself between the crazy woman and her victim almost from the beginning.  The victim herself mentioned him as the one who most helped her.  

Thank you! The strange thing was that I didn’t realize how unusual it was until I told my mom afterward, and she and her friends got really angry that the doctors let me stay in labor so long. I tried to explain how it happened (labor progressed very slowly, my daughter’s head was sort of positioned in a way that she…

I don’t know why, but I just love the way you wrote this post — “cooking me with their tender little furnace bodies.” It’s just beautiful.

Don’t you mean the “falafel thing”?

Anyone who learned about this and didn’t feel nauseated and sick and horrified for the woman, and nauseated and disgusted and horrified by the men, and didn’t do anything they could to destroy any chance of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, is an objectively heinous human being who should live the rest of his/her life in…

I know someone with Sjogren’s Syndrome, and it is no joke. Although it’s sometimes described just as an issue with dry eyes and dry mouth, it is progressive and attacks many parts of the body. It frequently causes debilitating fatigue (not just, “hey, I’m a little tired today,” and more “I have been hit by a truck and …

I could watch this all day -- not for his singing, but for the surprised and delighted reactions of the actors behind him.

Whenever a news site publishes a story about her, it should just always use the “before” picture that you posted.  It would drive her bonkers.

There is so much kindness and empathy in her post.  And this is a good and helpful article.

There’s that great line from somewhere about how America is lucky that black people only want equality, not revenge.

So kind of like a Turducken?

I kind of love you.

When I first saw that picture (with the back-bra and the flat butt), I genuinely thought that was her front and that her hair was just all in her face, girl-from-The-Ring-style. It was extremely confusing for a moment.  Anyway, I have been reading all the excellent comments on this, and yours actually made me burst…
