The Lies of Locke Lamora is excellent, as is Lynch’s entire Gentlemen Bastards series. Plus, they pick up a lot more awesome female characters in the next two books! Book 2, Red Seas Under Red Skies, includes a kickass middle-aged black woman pirate captain. And back when it came out, Scott Lynch wrote an amazing…

I’m amazed a teacher went all that time without catching and spreading something worse to her family. Schools are a Petri dish of disease. I guess that’s just proof that herd immunity does work.

I propose a trade! You guys can have the bigoted orangutan, we’ll take the handsome, progressive yoga enthusiast.

Will happily send Trump your way!

So you’re against abortion, but you’re also against “takers”. You do realize the majority of people receiving welfare are children, right?

That made me cry hot tears. I hope it disgusts men as much as it does women.

I’m at my parents’ for the week so I get to chill with this baby, who is currently snuggled against my legs:

We have a new puppy! I only had to do an 8 hour round trip in the car with my kids and my wee dog to pick her up. And we really didn’t know for sure that she’d be there (the SPCAs in this area are notoriously bad at updating their sites). But we got there before opening and we fell in love and took her home.

Always an Adele, never a Dazeem

Just thought I should give you a heads up. I’m filing charges against you for assaulting my entire being with your comment. I’m left with a terrible case of the dry heaves relating to moist Timberlakes.

I am now very concerned about the mowing in flipflops bit. YOU’LL CUT YOUR TOES OFF!!!

I think I only “wash” my legs when I shave them, but it’s more putting soap in the way so I don’t slice myself open rather than deliberately washing them. Sometimes I also exfoliate with a sponge thingy? Anyway, they always look the same.

Hey, now, Pilot Inspektor is a *boy*. So the name is totally fine. :)

And a favorite color of certain Golden Girls.

I remember Dusty Rose specifically as an incredibly popular decorating colour in the ‘80s.

He hasn’t had a bowel movement from his *ass* maybe, but it seems like he can’t stop them coming out of his face.

Marriage isn’t “just a fucking word”. It’s a legal status with fairly extensive implications in healthcare, tax, child custody, inheritance, property ownership, civil and criminal legal cases, pensions etc. Marriage doesn’t protect spouses from cheating or leaving, sure, but that’s a massively different thing from…

I feel almost like I can relate (and maybe even most of us can) in ways to the simplification and stereotypes certain occupations tend to inspire. I’m a CPA and while I have no real problem laughing at the aspects of myself that fit the typical stereotype it gets exhausting feeling like I have to defend my career…
