I have the same problem, both in writing and speech. When I was a kid, i had books instead of friends (super socially awkward) and thus, my vocabulary is more advanced than my people skills. So I’ll occasionally get confused looks from people around me, or get called a bombastic know-it-all. And it’s just genuinely…

I wish I could give more than 1 star. Your tag + this post = perfection.

I’ve never heard that one, but I generally use it when I already have underwear on. And honestly, the chafing is painful enough that I'll risk it.

When you work outdoors in an environment with 80-90% humidity, it's a godsend. Under boob and thighs, no more chub rub!

I’ll be joining you- does B&N still have midnight release parties?

I apologize. If it makes you feel any better, the person in the photo is holding it so wrong that they couldn’t possibly be a violinist and the integrity of your profession remains unsullied.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. You’re right- we need to make sure that boys know they can be victims, too. And that the same bullshit that keeps women silent tells men they can’t even be violated. All the internet hugs for you

I want to see that move SO BADLY. I’ve been trying to get into non-white, non-western history more. I’d love to see a kid’s series on Anansi the Spider, or an political drama about Great Zimbabwe. Or the resistance to colonization in Ethiopia. I’m not a big movie person, but I love history and fantasy. Let’s get some…

I loved all of those books growing up, and went on to read the rest of Mildred Taylor’s stories. It was a great introduction for a white girl in a New England suburb.

I loved that series and I've never heard of anyone else who knew of it before :)

Once I get my own place, I'll take her back. In the meantime, I pay for her food and vet visits. My sister takes good care of her.

My Curie’s original owner died, and she was taken in by a relative of his with a crazy demon spawn cat who beat her up.

john Mulaney made that observation hilariously, as usual

JKR is the best. Hands down.

Agreed.

My little sister has had anaphylactic reactions *twice* because the chefs were using latex gloves. And they don't label it or warn you like they do with allergens in food!

Agreed. I’m doing better now than I was during the worst of my depression earlier this year. Internet hugs for everyone!

I have that problem, but it’s due to my GAD. So, I get the spiraling thoughts but no compulsions.

That’s how my dad treats my baby sister (technically my mom and stepdad’s daughter, but we don’t do sisters by halves). She calls him “Uncle Chris”.
