Ughh, I’m sorry that happened to you. I was flying Southwest a few years ago, and while they normally would serve peanuts, they didn’t on that flight because someone had a peanut allergy (they gave out pretzels instead). They also made an announcement about it and during that announcement, told passengers to not eat…

I was wondering this. I mean, I guess if you have a parent cleaning surfaces for their kid with allergies, that could effectively get rid of the dust/proteins from nuts or peanuts before the kid comes into contact with it. However, and maybe this just me being overly anxious, if I had a life-threatening allergy, I…

This is exactly what I was thinking of. Granted, if you don’t mind waiting for your bag after you get off the plane, a lot of airlines will check your carry on bag for free if they think there won’t be enough overhead space for everyone (and given that most airlines overbook flights, that’s pretty likely). However, if…

Whoever is calling her iconic needs to be banned from using mass transit in every city in the world. 

I could see bringing food on the train being spontaneous, because they could have just gotten takeout, but conveniently having a table with you to set up on the train with no planning? That smells like bs to me. 

Well, it looks like they went to Famiglia, so their standards already aren’t that high...

I tried to tell someone this, and they were like, “If people want to hold those beliefs, you should still agree to disagree and respect their opinion.” Like, excuse me? Saying that IUDs don’t and can’t be used to cause abortions is not an opinion, it’s a fact. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t suddenly make it…

I think InfoWars may have released a video of their interaction that was edited to make it look like he was more aggressive than when compared to an unedited video, and that’s the version the White House is going off of. 

Do it! That documentary is a wild ride to say the least.

I’m looking forward to this and the sequel to A Christmas Prince. And I guess all of the Hallmark Christmas movies coming out too? 

I will never forget SMEG from last year. 

This! I would have been so pissed if Hugin won because Menendez didn’t have the good sense to let a scandal-free candidate run in his place. 

The thing is though, that the women voting against abortion rights (higher income, white women) are likely the women who are the least likely to need an abortion (or could afford to travel out of state to get one). Meanwhile, lower income WOC either likely voted to preserve abortion rights or have to deal with…

Oooh, Malinowski winning is a very pleasant surprise!

I admit that I was one of those “invading zombies from the liberal coast” when I went to college in Texas and voted against Cruz in 2012. However, although some do stay, many of us do also move back to the East Coast to be closer to family. 

The CEO and founder of Thinx stepped down after stories of her sexually harassing employees came to light and Thinx definitely still exists. Even if they feel like they can’t outright fire the CEO, they can at least heavily pressure him to step down.

I work for a well-known suicide prevention organization, and given that our comms team didn’t send anything out about the movie, I’m guessing it means that the producers of A Star is Born didn’t think to reach out to any suicide prevention organizations to give us a chance to figure out how to warn people or how to…

I’m sorry for your loss. Also, I have heard from a local, suicide prevention crisis worker that the center she works at had been getting emails from people saying that they were not prepared for the suicide in A Star is Born.

I sent in my absentee ballot a few weeks ago, since I live in NYC, but I’m still registered to vote in my hometown in NJ District 7 (and it’s a bit too far to go in person). I’m thinking I should register to vote in NYC, since things will likely go the same as they always do, in that statewide results will be solidly…

I’m kind of regretting that I made an optometry appointment for after work (okay, granted, I can’t order new contact lenses until I get the prescription for them since it’s been over a year since my last visit), because now I don’t have time to go to yoga as an attempt to quell my anxiety.
