book deal?

Rusty was found in Adams Morgan! I think he was like “f all these tourists visiting me- I need a drink.” Also I think he was sick of being upstaged by bao bao. He’s a red panda after my own heart.

I had 3, and I cherished them.

I always loved the clothes in that show because it looked exactly like real life. I went to high school in the Pacific NW in the late 90s and that’s just what people looked like normally.

Honestly, I liked that they didn’t look like perfectly coiffed fashion plates at all times. Plus like those two could wear plastic bags and look fantastic so whatever.

My dog ate my kitchen floor as a puppy. Also, she used to get these weird stomach aches when she was a pup, and she would eat absolutely anything and everything - ex. my dad’s knee-high wool winter sock. I was terrified of her eating stray nails or wires or a penny or something, so I put her in her crate for the…

That movie is bad and she should feel bad.

Are we holding brooms or guns?

The next time a liberal progressive white person tells me that “small, intimate weddings are more meaningful,” I am going to tell them that their comments are culturally insensitive to my fiance’s family and community.

Hahaha. An “intimate” wedding with ONLY the nearest and dearest for Indians is like 200 people. And a horse.

As someone who wasn’t crazy about the idea of doing a wedding-wedding but is doing it anyway, for a variety of reasons - look, we can’t always get the chill backyard paper lamp-lit commitment ceremony of our dreams, ok? I made my peace with doing a wedding-wedding because, well, my parents and extended family would be…

My oyster knife. I never have oysters at home; do I have it in case of a shellfish uprising?

Indian weddings are a different animal: you can easily spend $150,000 on a wedding and will do it out of fear from in-law, family, and friend judgment.

No one is saying that.

I really hate it when self righteous internet warriors start abuse campaigns against the parents of dead children. When you’ve lost a child, you can talk. Otherwise, “there but for the grace of god...” and STFU.

Okay, I take that back. The notice is just about state funding to pay for services (and it is a compelling state interest that pregnant women not go without care due to financial hardship), and is applicable to all licensed facilities, so maybe it would pass muster after all. Go California!

Requiring the posting of a sign is considered compelled speech. But the First Amendment isn’t absolute. If there is a compelling government interest (e.g. making sure people aren’t defrauded) and the compelled speech is a viewpoint neutral, narrow, least burdensome way to achieve that interest, then compelled speech…

It was a district court in Maryland and the Fourth Circuit reversed that decision and remanded to the district court for further proceedings, which are ongoing. In any case, it would not apply to California, which is in the hella progressive Ninth Circuit.

Paid parental leave

I was where you are now last year, and I urge you to take tonight and tomorrow off — enjoy your last day of freedom before knuckling down on the studying. And best of luck! What state are you taking?
