I’m enjoying my Blue Apron dinner right now, and I’d be really disappointed if it went the way of the Dodo. I’ve been using it consistently for about a year and a half, skipping just a handful of weeks on account of travel, so I am that elusive loyal base. I could barely boil water before I started cooking BA, and…

I was belly-laughing during the front and back vulvas paragraphs, and by “it won’t weigh down your mons pubis,” I was howling with cry-laughter. My boyfriend just stared at me and I promised to read it to him.

Yeah, there are several business owners in my family, and they would never run their businesses like this (though I agree with the larger point that the government should not be run like a business).

So ... Orphan Black with more hiding?

The Sand Snakes were so lame. I’m glad they’re gone.

You know, Lemon Pepper is a pretty charming name for a sex worker.

Totally agree. My three kitty cats seem pretty fucking happy inside, and show no inclination to be outside whatsoever. They have the run of the house, a pretty sweet cat shelf set-up, toys and boxes galore, a glorious cat tree taller than I am, and pets on demand. And they’re not going to get run over by a car or…

My coworker and I who joke about it would probably have to quit or current positions to do that, though, and we have really good jobs with good benefits.

In theory, absolutely, but it would be risky because my organization, and me when I’m representing them, are non-partisan. Even if I did something like that in a volunteer capacity, if it got out in certain circles, it could compromise my position. I’d have to be careful.

I’m in a very red state, and a lot of my job is talking to lots of different audiences about population data trends and strategies that address negative outcomes in the data, and duh, a lot of the strategies that work skew towards more liberal policy and process. Often, I find myself in front of conservative elected…

I will watch just about anything on HGTV, but Fixer Upper is SO boring to me. It’s unwatchable, as far as I’m concerned.

I hear ya. I mean, one way to counter it might be to say, a lot of the really novel research aimed at looking at totally new molecules and compounds and fundamental ways of stopping cancer, happen at smaller biotech firms that are funded by venture capital/private investors, and are typically not publicly traded.…

Yeah ... I don’t think her wearing face skin is what turns her cold, and I don’t agree with the writer that this is some huge departure for Arya. She has literally spent the past five seasons (and who knows how many years) reciting her kill list every. single. night.

I cosign all your points. And yeah, like I said, I had no idea if Freddie was actually tall, or if Rami is actually short, they just film and photograph VERY differently. I think in terms of bombast and aesthetics, Sacha Baron Cohen would have been a slam dunk. I don’t always like all of SBC’s work, but whatever he’s…

I’m really bummed that SBC isn’t in the role, and I hope it’s an actual biopic and not a biopic of Queen. I honestly have no idea if Freddie Mercury was tall, but his presence felt tall and lanky and powerful, and to me, Rami always looks like a teeny tiny person - there’s nothing wrong with being teeny tiny, obvi, it…

Haha, I know you’re joking around, but I would also point out that federal dollars go to cancer research. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute of Health (NIH), and the Centers for Disease Control all do research (obviously not all cancer research), and are funded by the federal government. Whether…

Look, I think Susan G. Komen is as full of shit as the next person, but a lot of what you’re buying into is conspiracy theory. I’m the child of a scientist who has spent his career looking for ways to eradicate various cancers, and I can assure you he’s not dicking around for shits and giggles and money. Maybe your…

That’s a wildly ignorant and inaccurate statement.

The old lost tampon story was my gateway drug to Jez and I’ve been around ever since, though I didn’t love it under Jessica Coen and stopped reading for a while. Shit, it’s been about a decade.

Hello fellow 33-year-old! I don’t remember what I did for my birthday this year. Must be senility in my old age.
