Is the owner still a right winger who (financially) supports abstinence-only ‘sex education’ though? 

I have a worse Blue Velvet story, which is that I was watching it as a teenager (by myself), and on the Dennis Hopper inhaling ether or whatever and attacking Isabella Rossellini part, my dad walked in

It was a case like this that helped lead to our current complete lack of abortion law in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremblay_v_Daigle

Where does Naked Lunch fit in as a date movie? Because that was a bad idea.

And when there is actual unapologetic aggression, others on the subway will apologize on the aggressive person’s behalf, and reassure the victim that they did nothing wrong.

I would suggest signing up for Ipsy or (if you’re in the US) Birchbox, which is amazing. Topbox if you are in Canada. Then you get to try ALL THE THINGS. 

I look forward to the parade of pics of penises being thrown in the potty

But it’s my favourite euphemism!

And if you don’t get vacation days (where you are paid your normal wages while you are not there) then you get 4% added to each pay cheque-the idea being that you save that 4% and use it to pay yourself when you take unpaid time off. So, the 4% is in lieu of 10 vacation days.

I first heard the story on the radio, but didn’t catch the title/author, so I spent years, pre-internet, wanting to read it. Then it showed up in a university syllabus, and I was all ‘That’s it, that’s the story!’ The story (and CPG in general) ended up inspiring my final year photography project, and I read the…

This has long been the way I do a thorough tidy of a room. I wouldn’t do it on a whole house, but I will take everything that doesn’t have a home/is not in its home in a given room, pile it onto a table (I will admit to sometimes getting out a large folding table to do this), get a garbage bag and a recycling bag,…

Speaking of feeding through nostrils: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/06/hawaiian-monk-seal-eel-stuck-up-nose-why (This is my current favourite story, because it is juvenile seals doing this, so I’m imagining some sort of seal social media challenge where they dare each other to stuff eels up their noses.…

It look ridiculous like that! I wanted to see it doing its own thing, all floaty behind her, more like when she walked out of the building

Maybe the people who are holding it as she walks are actually keeping it under control because it has developed sentience and keeps trying to go on a murderous rampage?

I cannot figure out the mindset of women who think it’s fine to be paid less than a man for the same work. Or do you mean that they don’t acknowledge that the pay gap exists?

So Murakami’s protagonist is having sex with a sleeping woman? And this doesn’t wake her up, despite the violence and abundance of his ejaculation? How does that work? 

“No woman wants live children as a surprise” is perhaps one of the best lines in the history of lines

I’m so confused by American Catholic hospitals. I go to a clinic at a Catholic hospital in Toronto (that’s in Canada), and they will happily refer you for abortion care at a local provider. They even have pre-printed handouts!

It’s less sweet when you know that he was in a relationship (with children) at the time

Gender neutral clothing is almost inevitably just men’s clothing.
