I don’t think anyone is saying that we shouldn’t critique movies, but I don’t see the same volume and vitriol around critiques for movies like Jurassic World, Transformers 27, or any other male-led sequel/reboot. It seems like quite the coincidence that all these totally reasonable, logical men have very sensible

I, personally, am a red wine person. I spend a lot more on wine than on pot in a year. That said, when I want a really solid nap there’s nothing better than two tokes and a glass of red wine.

Be kind to yourself. Set goals that you know you can achieve, because they will encourage you next time. If your goal is “work out an hour a day for the whole week” you will probably fail and feel like shit. If you’re a perfectionist (waves hand) then you’ll decide this is something that you CAN’T DO, OKAY!

I love this. Haha. “Drop it. DROP IT!” This is why we crate dogs during the day.

You can order a DVD of the film from Spain, but it doesn’t even have a US disc release, let alone a streaming option.

A friend once told me she pictures her anxiety as a shivering greyhound and I thought that was pretty on point.

How is her face 40% teeth?

Off topic but adorable: I grew up in New Zealand where we call them “fizzy drinks” or sometimes just fizz/fizzy. Wasn’t til I moved away I realized how ridiculous but cute that is.

Similarly, I don’t clean storage jars as often as I should. I buy baking supplies and other dry goods in bulk, but then store them in glass jars for convenience. I should empty a jar, clean and dry it, then refill it. I do not do this. I just keep refilling them.

“If she’s not, respect that, and move on” = the best advice

I have a bunch of Jewish friends and I really like how, in reform at least, there’s a lot of openness to questioning and adapting your faith. I feel like atheist Jew isn’t that weird.

Also, depending on where you’re going and how much time you’ll have, I have ever ordered stuff online and shipped to my sister so when I arrive I have to wrap everything, but I don’t have to worry about weight, customs, etc. Often I do a mix of the two: books and anything I can order from Amazon gets shipped to her,

As someone who has never not had to either pack or post gifts my top picks are always:

As an added tip - maybe not for you since you’ve got your system down, but for someone - I never slept in my parent’s bed but if I came in after a nightmare my mum kept a spare pillow on the bed and there was a box of blankets in easy reach, I could sleep on the floor next to her bed. It’s a bit like the make the mark

Thanks so much for this info! Even if I can’t add it now, it’s good to know it’s available.

I do not know what this means so either I’m using it and don’t know or I’m not using it and I don’t know. I’m at work with outdated Chrome (blah blah security something? I’m not allowed to update). I’m usually on Jezebel or io9 but when stuff gets cross-posted then I often get kinja-ed.

Right? She is so funny. Put her in all the things!

Leftover cheese is only marginally more likely than leftover wine in my kitchen.

You can buy it at any subway station or GO station (regional transit). It’s $6 for the card, so as someone said below if you’re only in town for a day or two better to go with day passes, but if you’re here for a week then I think Presto is worth it for the convenience.
