I tried that, and got so sick I couldn’t finish. So I’m working not in my field, trying to re-evaluate the trajectory I want my life to take.

This would be why I moved to Florida, and north Florida is still too cold for me right now.

My ex had enough pictures/videos of me for a whole fucking spank bank (we did long distance for 3 years and got by on sexting), but we’re still friends and when he says he deleted that shit, I believe him. He’s a fundamentally good person, which is why I trusted him with it to begin with.

Agreed.

I’m not even religious, but bless that woman. She has more patience than I ever will.

I have quite a few JW kids in my classes. They aren’t allowed to celebrate any birthdays or holidays. Or even make a non-denominational card when I bring in craft supplies this week.

I am Moana is my absolute favorite- if I’m really listening (not just playing in the background), it gives me chills.

Let’s start a Gofundme. I’ll send $20 for that.

Oh, how I would love to see those.

I love this explanation and I’m saving it, if you don’t mind.

I do love tofu, so this is getting saved like, yesterday.

That’s how I ended up with my cranberry sauce recipe. Started with the ocean spray recipe (literally just cranberries, water, sugar) and tweaked it as I went along. I find following recipes exactly to be stressful and no fun.

I’m sorry, but I’m one of *those* people- I often don’t use recipes, I just throw stuff together in a pot. I usually cover the carcass in water and add some boullion cubes. Throw in celery and chopped onions for flavor, plus the herbs. After a while, I skim the broth, take out the turkey, and strip it of meat, which…

I don’t even eat turkey anymore (vegetarian), but I make my family’s leftovers into turkey soup.

I’ve been thinking about that. I already have Nexplanon, but mine needs to be replaced mid-2018. I never thought I’d have to worry about getting a new one.

Right? As someone with a background in ecology, I fucking HATE that term.

I’ve been going with “dammit, Donald!” as the new “thanks, Obama”.

Plus, warm water holds less oxygen in general. So global climate change and the continued use of added fertilizers means that we’ll see this more and more often.

You have every right to be afraid, and every right to sit out and protect yourself when you need to. POC and especially WOC did not get us into this position.
