Ugh, I’m with you on the bikini line, girl. I shaved the girl bald for most of my 20s and constantly struggled to deal with the razor burn & bumps. I let it grow a few years back when my depression got out of control and I just literally couldn’t with anything and discovered I like it much better. Now I just clean up…

pretty much.

Also, for those interested in the historical underpinnings of this horseshit, I recommend you pick up Daniel Okrent’s new book, The Guarded Gate. Ken Burns fans will recognize him from the Prohibition series, on which he appeared, and which was based in very large part on his book Last Call. He is one of the top three…

“We do not have a dehumanizing culture at CBP.”

Hey-oh!!

I mean, she really does think it’s worth the time and effort to fold the damn things, but you’re right about the bonding part. 

That sounds awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!!

I once made an offhand comment to my husband’s grandma that I couldn’t fold a fitted sheet, while I was helping her put away the linens. She brightened up and said, “Oh! It’s easy! I’ll show you!” She started to pull a sheet out of the pile, and I put my hand on hers to stop her and said, “No, Gram, it’s okay. I truly…

Agreed. Additionally, the *only* roles I’ve ever seen him play are ones where he’s been some level of bad guy. Anywhere from Parks and Rec’s banal self-centered jerk up to The Girl on the Train’s literal psychopath murderer. There’s so much association there with him as a bad guy from all those roles that I just can’t…

This article probably did more for Steve Bullock’s name recognition in the primary than any other single media spot. 

Ha! You’re right!!

Let Levar read it to you!! <3

Yeah, I didn’t know that specifically about him, but after two episodes, the “Culture” tag felt really wrong. He’s the Deanna Troi of the group, basically. But I get why they did it - “Counseling” or “Psychology” would probably feel too direct and uncomfortable for a lot of people. Maybe “Philosophy” would be a better…

Thanks to Octavia Butler’s short story Childfinder, and Levar Burton’s phenomenal storytelling podcast, Tubman is forever linked in my mind with Levar’s beautiful voice quietly muttering, “Long-haired motherfuckers.” Butler was an unparalleled world-creator, and the images she conjured of what it meant to truly…

Will it help if you try to think [waggles eyebrows] *sexy* librarian??

Ooh, I hadn’t heard of Emily and Fin either, but just looked them up and that shit’s super cute! Try eshakti for a cheaper alternative. A lot of those fit-and-flare silhouettes, shirtdresses, shifts, etc. They’ve gotten a lot better at fabric pattern selection in the last couple years, too. You can sort by fabric type…

Wut.

In his video pitch, he vows to combat inequality, climate change, corporate greed, and the corrupt Washington elite. 

Jesus!!
