I bear my mutation with pride, thanks. Hashtag Bornthisway.

Nothing has made me sadder since 2016 as this realization. We suck, and Obama is lucky to be rid of us.

After reading that interview with Manne (I’m still on the waiting list at the library for the actual book!), I’ve been mentally screaming ‘himpathy!’ all over the place, even when reading stupid tv-show message boards. It’s a super useful term that describes something we’ve all encountered inchoately, like…

I have a dim hope that knowing we have ghost-tweeters may inspire the media to stop paying such slavish attention to that feed.

I’m a current devotee of the silicone straw. I like that they are bendy.

IKR? Boatnecks show off my sexy, sexy clavicles.

The tacked on ‘Croissants!’ is everything I need today.

I realize this is the wrong takeaway but what else is the internet for?

I cut them long, like below the knee. So even when they’re hiked and tugged up far, there’s still enough left to keep them from rolling up.

it’s certainly better to have women in charge

A penis?

They don’t roll up, and they’re tights, do not much runs them. And since they’re covered by clothes, it doesn’t really matter if they do. Been doing it 15 years.

Nope. I don’t wear short hemlines, so I can leave the legs long enough to teach just above my knees. No ride- up, ever.

I cut the lower legs off of tights to wear in summer. Lighter than spanx, does the trick. Plus, it’s all recycly, so I get to feel virtuous. 

Jack White (né Gillis) took Meg’s last name . FWIW.

Usage note: as I learned over the weekend, ‘choking’ is what you do on food. What somebody does to you is ‘strangulation.’ Because many people have experience with choking on something, even for a second or two, using that word tends to minimize the violence inherent in strangulation.

Wow, 2018 just keeps getting worse.

My mom’s reply was the fairly opaque (to a kid, anyway) “ Want shall be your master.” It meant No, and don’t bother asking again. In retrospect, it was oddly Zen for a Presbyterian.

HamNo, your use of “These are they” has filled my eyes with dozens of little hearts this afternoon. I mean, I’m not going to change my brand of yogurt or anything, but credit must be given where due. +10.

The fact that Thor managed to take a linguistics course in Groot “as an elective” suggests yes.
