Your prof must have been thrilled to have something different to dissect!

Oh wow, I’d completely forgotten about “Noises Off.” I don’t know if I want to see it again enough to pay for the rental, though when I’ve got so much in my various queues.

I have severe asthma (was diagnosed at six weeks old). Despite countless nights to pediatric urgent care and ERs for respiratory therapy and even a stint in the ICU for pneumonia complications for a few days in my teens (and I was out of school for over a month), my parents still resisted masking until both my sister…

She absolutely deserved to have her child taken from her, but it’s horrible that death did it instead of child services (and given my expreience working with kids in the foster system, I don’t say that lightly).

Anyone who doubts should ask any fat person about their experiences with medical professionals regarding evidence-based treatment and/or compassion.

Licenses ought to be revoked for this shit. It is malpractice.

Negronis and Americanos are wonderful, but I also love Campari added to a gin and tonic or with gin and grapefruit juice/fancy soda.

You rightfully live up to your name! :) but my point still stands. Before COVID, most of folks in this country were less than $500 away from financial disaster. Running a business that depends on a clientele who can afford this—even for those for whom it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience—in these times is not…

I don’t exactly find it offensive, but I think they missed some of the context. This is a very expensive restaurant (Their menu items are in the three figure range EACH) and this virus is having an outsized effect on people who could never afford to eat there—and that number is rising every day. While it may not have…

They’re as shitty as they sound and their ideas stink.

The Great lives up to its name, and as it was the first thing with Nicolas Hoult that I’ve ever seen, he is what it would look like if James Marsden and Jack McBrayer had a son.

Let’s also not forget that a lot of Zoom calls people are forced into (where children and pets make charming cameos, thank you very much) aren’t actually needed in the first place and it’s really because most managers are never actually trained in how to MANAGE and prioritize someone’s output vs. visibility.

Or comprehensive sex ed!

Like so many of our American problems, it all boils down to asshats who think they and people exactly like them (generally straight White able-bodied cis-dudes) should be able to dictate everything because any inconvenience due to someone having even infinitesimally different needs is clearly ridiculous overreach. Pret…

She got big right around when I started college and I still remember late 30-something grad student guys I worked with drooling over her in “One More Time.” So. Gross.

I’m not a psychologist, but I am an educator and when she shaved her head, it felt like such an act of defiance for which I didn’t blame her at all. Whatever mental issues she may have, you look at her life and the people she had in it, and it may have felt like the only agency she had to try to make meaningful change…

Fish is still pretty expensive where I am, but I have definitely been rediscovering tofu. Microwaving it before pressing has made a huge difference, and the last place I got takeout from put it in sturdy, oblong plastic containers that are the perfect size for marinating it.

The silver lining is now not having to try to remember if one of them isn’t some sort of flavor of shitheel.

He didn’t reach out to these women private and instead does a blanket one where he won’t have to actually face them?

Oh man, I wish I were in your part of the state because where I am (northeast MA), NO ONE is except when they have to inside.
