I definitely had a moment while typing: “wait...is that really what we called it? that is really what we called it. huh.”

Yeah I realized typing that that gimp has a few meanings now that I’m an adult. If you’re a nine year old girl scout, this is gimp:

I feel like given the contextual factors currently present when discussion American politics, I would have picked anyone other than the dude named Boris for this sort of thing.

T.H.I.S. I don’t fucking care how “nice” it is- if they can’t leave, then it’s not okay. Like, let’s take them at their word* that it’s basically like day camp. Great. I fucking loved day camp as a kid. I owned the gimp station, macrame was my bitch. But I wasn’t kept there for days/weeks/months against my will, and…

I feel like 1 and 3 are mutually exclusive.

1. why does that jacket exist?

Also, just like...optics, dude! Maybe check out the Italian place this week! Get your aide to pick up tacos to go! Anything other than showing your skeletor-ass rat face at a Mexican restaurant. 

Good lord, what on earth would the fucking EPA need SWAT-level gear like this for?

Ditto. I am sitting here eating my goddam cheap-and-healthy homemade bean and corn salad and fuuuuuck if I wouldn’t just wolf like five of these motherfuckers right now.

They are all over Chicago - the city and ‘burbs. Including the poorer neighborhoods that might otherwise be food deserts. I love Aldi so fucking much - I pretty much shop exclusively at Aldi, excepting a monthly-ish trip to Whole Foods for stuff they don’t sell (shallots, some spices, tempeh, fancy vinegars, etc.)

It genuinely grosses me out. I am roughly Ivanka’s age and I do not even remember a time in which I called my dad “daddy” - I’m sure I did but by the time I was old enough to be forming permanent memories I’d transitioned to dad.

I can’t even imagine giving birth and having a communication barrier with my doctors and nurses! Having him there must have been such a relief.

That’s actually really sweet! What a wonderful service to that woman.

My dude is dealing with a probable gout diagnosis (we sure hope it’s gout, because if it’s not, it’s likely RA), and in reading the research, it seems like a strict “gout diet” is actually minimally effective in reducing gout attacks - way less effective than drugs. I mean, the “gout diet” is generally just a healthy,…

Your grammar is hilarious.

god it’s so true. Also there’s a 100% chance I end that email with

Are you serious? I am a (happily employed non-academic) PhD graduate, and my colleagues who are tenure track faculty work 80-90 hours a week for not-enough-money-to-be-working-that-much, travel for conferences pretty frequently, and are generally stressed AF. The “cushy ivory tower tenured professor” trope may still…

I mean, I’m actually fine with them being vague on that. I think it’s great if someone wants to take the Betty Ford approach, but I’m big into privacy and don’t think someone’s job should mean they are required to disclose details of their medical record (much less their spouse’s job). But, like, you could just…

Also, say he was a normal human being, and also say that his marriage was on the rocks and he and Melania were preparing to divorce and/or working through some shit (...can’t imagine why, tho). He could just say “Melania is still a little under the weather after her surgical procedure last month, and is going to be…

“If you’re involved in a sort of slimy business, (that) says something about you — says something about how far you’ll go to make money,” Giuliani told CNN.
