Most of these are brilliant, but “degloved zoo penis” is going to haunt me forever. That’s just fucked up.

Same. I wish we at least got stickers like America, though.

When I get a UTI, I got to the doctor for some antibiotics like a sane person and I chug water with 1 tsp of baking soda per glass like a lunatic. I don’t care because IT STOPS THE BURNING like magic, except it’s not magic it’s the pH scale. less acidic = less burn-y.

Except Carla Bruni was a real supermodel, a real first lady and I really like her music dontjudgeme...

I once saw a woman aiming a diaper-less, peeing toddler at a tree in front of the police station. I told my friend who was living in Shanghai about it and she said “Dude. I see this every time I leave my apartment. Literally.”

Just to clarify, in most former communist countries, abortion was legal on request for the first 12 weeks, with Romania and Poland being the most notable and horrendous exceptions.

Similar situation. Whenever I see my friend’s 3-year-old she asks her if she wants to give me a hug hello or goodbye. Often she doesn’t want to, which is TOTALLY COOL. I ask if she wants to blow kisses instead and her face lights up and we do our hellos and goodbyes that way.

As a child and teen, I had hugs and kisses forced on me by relatives and random family friends so many times, and every time it made me want to retch. And every time I felt I had no choice, and that I was completely trapped. I never want any kid to feel like that.

My friend has been raising her daughters this way (“You never have to hug anyone you don’t want to, not even Mommy and Daddy”) ever since they were toddlers. It’s incredibly important to give them that agency at as young an age as possible.

YES I WILL WATCH EVERYTHING WITH RICHARD AYOADE. Travel Man has the best tag line ever, stern, no-nonsense “We’re here...BUT SHOUD WE HAVE COME?”

Thank you for reminding me that the plural of speculum is specula. My high school cancelled its latin program the year I started.

The doctor I had from mid-teens-early 30s was a woman and a total pro at paps. Unfortunately, I had to get a new Dr. when I moved cities and he’s great, but leaves the pap tests to female residents/physicians assistants who aren’t always the best. The GIGA-speculum incident happened with a different doctor in-between…

Oh, HELL NO. I was told I was “tilted” as well, by a resident. I said “Look, these stirrups are way too far away from my body to be remotely effective and I need to move closer to the edge of the table and this tilted business will be SOLVED.” Also had a resident attempt to use a LARGE speculum on me, a woman who has…

That master bedroom is cluttered as fuck.

Any show that wastes Andre Holland in such a shitty role should be cancelled and its remains shot into the centre of the sun.

Mark Ruffalo already showed his junk in Jane Campion’s In The Cut, which has beautiful cinematography and Meg Ryan’s last good performance and also MARK RUFFALO’S JUNK WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT. I like that film a lot.

So my biggest takeaway is that she really likes starting every sentence with “so”. So that interview was a shitshow for you, Ivanka.

snugbug, you have been here literally forever. How are you in the greys??

I remember waaay back, someone posted their encounter with her on Gawker Stalker. It happened at a Whole Foods and the person said she was disheveled, rude, smelled horrible and kept getting in her personal space in a psycho-kind of way. Those were the days.
