I was also struck by this. Somehow if the administration and faculty don’t show visible emotion in a professional context they lack empathy or the ability to listen and consider what they’re hearing? I’m sure I’ll get slammed in the comments for this, but this sounded like a breach of decorum on the part of the…

What’s weird about it is that they can’t tell him that it’s right there. It’s not about the cookies.

I thought the Michael Fassbender domestic violence allegations were false? Like, the date the woman said she was hospitalized with a broken nose and bruises, wasn’t she pictured with him at a film festival for a couple of days smiling and looking perfectly healthy?

I bought Jane Eyre for precisely that reason. Sure, I love the book and have read it over and over.... but Fassbender...omg.

Why do people who don’t have allergies/dietary restrictions feel the need to play the “what would happen if you ate this” game? i have had two colon resection and there’s a bunch of shit I’m not supposed to eat. I probably won’t die if someone slips a little flour or dairy in my food but too much can be very painful…

Not married yet, but recently engaged. The only detail we have really pinned down is the cake topper. (Must have priorities.) Anyways, Future Mr. Umm is a chess master and teaches chess lessons for a living. So we’ll be doing this.

My husband and I really loved our cake toppers - yes plural, we had two. The one on top of the cake was a couple whose skin and hair color was customizable, which was important to us as I didn’t want a default white couple representing us on our cake. And the pose we picked ismeaningful to us, as my husband is always…

Ours were lovebirds made from vintage paper. We got married at the Housing Works Bookstore, so the bookish paper tied in perfectly. Purchased on Etsy from trinketsbydana for $16.

Jack and Sally! They are mine from when the movie originally came out. I was a weird kid...

$10 in action figures from Amazon. $1 for the veil stickers. $2 for the top hat, and just a cheap wood oval and white paint.

My wife drew the cake topper and included our dog (who was also our ring bearer), our cat, and our hedgehog. My dad cut out the wooden shape and I used Mod Podge to stick the drawing onto the wood. Photograph by Yaritza Colon Photography.

We had a Frank Lloyd Wright Darwin Martin House Window inspired cake, that we topped with a nautilus shell (part of our wedding invitation was based on the golden spiral, which I also sport as a tattoo). Lucky for us, the gallery curator was amazing and worked really hard to do a group show of artists who were all…

Otters!!! Who doesn’t love otters?

That is creepy and wonderful

I’m a knitter, so I knit a tiny bride and tiny groom and affixed them to a small slice of wood, which was actually from a set of coasters I found on etsy. I glued a lid from a can of something (beans? who knows) to the bottom so the wood would not sit directly on the cake.

Our wedding isn’t until October but we have our topper already! Found it on Etsy. It was a splurge at around $200 but its essentially our only major splurge.

Saw this masterpiece on pinterest (dangerous), and we’re going to recreate it.
