“She could eat an entire family size bag of Doritos in one night.”

My God, I didn’t think about it exactly that way. You seem to be thinking about in the way that my friends who are poets do. Yeah, it could almost be like an environmental hygiene thing — what is your world? What does it consist of?

I think as more time goes by, the more you appreciate them. Reading your teenage diaries in your 20's, for example, cringe worthy and uncomfortable because its still relatively fresh. Reading those diaries as you near 50 though? Totally different experience. You sympathize with the young you a lot more and that does…

I don’t like this rug, but I stopped judging people’s home decor when I starting trying to make my apartment an actual, adult living space. That shit is soooooo expensive. My rug is pretty ugly, but it was less than $100 and helps absorb sound, so I accept it. Anyone under the age of 35 should get a pass on their…

Imagine Gordon saying “Come on get it together. I just saw your babies butthole”

I’d think this would be even less popular on the coasts, tbh. The thought of putting something like that on my CV in my local coastal job market makes me cringe. Just being a woman of child-bearing age can be seen as a negative, kids or not.

My parents are both doctors and my mom isn’t American to boot, so I also grew up in a household that talked very openly about the human body and had very frank conversations about sex. It wasn’t until I was late into my teen years that I realized my friends didn’t have similar conversations with their parents.

Yeah, I’d say go with the first person to come by and say they’ll take it. If somebody who contacts you is concerned about getting it, then they’ll make the time.

DO IT! I have curly hair too, and I wear it curly 99% of the time. I need a stylist who gets that, and you do too.

This is great advice! I’m partial the urban decay 24/7 liner. I’ve been tightlining for ages and have never had any issues with my eyes, for what it’s worth.

Because they will go on forever - as they should. They are national treasures and anyone who thinks otherwise can fight me.

Just like... five minutes of hardcore fucking. In the middle of the movie. With no leadup and no discussion afterwards.

I’m curious, is it cultural? Religious? What is the importance of your parents having your body there for the funeral?

Let me preface this by saying I am 100% pro-vaccine. My son is vaccinated and I fully believe that all children should be.

This is sad because as black people, we have legitimate reasons to fear the government when it comes to medical procedures. We’ve been unwillingly sterilized, unknowingly given syphilis, and had our cells unknowingly used to create vaccines and make medicine for the common world without compensation or consent. That…

This reminds my random mind of a story, where my husband had a ‘friendship’ with a goose who lived in the park-area around his workplace. He named her Gertrude (or Gurty, like the character in ET), and he really liked her. Then, one day, She was out there hanging out with Richard, and my husband was over the moon!…

Damn, what’s the point even? Time to sneak in some firewhiskey or gigglewater.

You know what’s a better time than both costume weddings and black tie weddings? Staying home and not going to either. Just the idea of refusing to attend a party gives me a little thrill, actually.

The issue with that is that so many men put all the emotional labor, social, and household planning on their wives.

When you divide up chores, you have to let go. If you say “hey, you clean the bathroom and I’ll do laundry,” you cannot get pissed that the bathroom is not cleaned to your standards or feel slighted because you do a much better job of laundry than she does or the bathroom - and that you would do a better job cleaning…
