I had the most impressive period shit last week. Like take a picture and show it to your friends who gave birth. But I was like “Who can I even tell about this? This thing that came out of my body?”

I think in a venn diagram the circle of people who are racist is entirely inside the circle of people who think they are not racist. And they are almost exactly the same size.

I’ve never refreshed so often.

This was my first thought... what would embracing whiteness even look like for me? Bad dancing, cultural appropriation and “discovering” things that already exist?

My friend who’s a lesbian specifically texted me to ask if he was hot - “Usually I kind of can tell, but I can’t get a straight person read on this guy.” I said he wasn’t really “hot” but was definitely cute and fuckable.

Yes? I add the question mark because I would say don’t read it if you’re already in an emotional/sensitive place. It tore me to pieces and glued me back together. I cried for literally half the book. It’s literally one of the best/most affecting books I’ve ever read.

This book will tear you to pieces. Highly highly recommended.

But wait - I have two tattoos and am rarely sick. Boyfriend as no tattoos and is often sick. And when we both get the same bug he gets it worse and takes longer to recover. WHAT DOES IT MEAN???

True in so many ways.

I have watched this about eight times now and I think it gets creepier every time.

I would like to imagine that you are the bird kind and are typing this very determinedly one key at a time with your beak.

Eating the kiwi skin is 100% acceptable, and even encouraged. The skin also has lots more nutrition and fibre! I am from New Zealand so when it comes to kiwifruit my opinion has double weight.

*Backs away slowly avoiding eye contact*

That’s why it doesn’t usually bother me that on this continent kiwi is a fruit and a bird and a person - there’s no other context for it. But at home you would definitely never peel a kiwi unless you’re going for a real Hannibal kinda vibe...

Guys. GUYS. Usually it doesn’t bother me that North Americans drop the “fruit” from kiwifruit, but this headline did make my skin crawl.

Yeah, this surprised me too. And it seems to have been done only for aesthetic reasons - like Burton was just taken with the concept of a floating girl. Her gothed up weighted shoes are peak Burton.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary! I know she was also American - but she did amazing work while she lived in Canada:

My boyfriend is from Newfoundland and has a huge extended family (he has 18 aunts/uncles and they all have multiple kids) to the point that he jokes about requiring a family tree before dating there... as proven when two of his first cousins who had never met hooked up on vacation.

I turn 30 in four months... better start planning a June wedding! Any groom will do!
