I assume if someone was looking to buy their mom their dream home, they would want something slightly bigger than a 1 bedroom. Also Jasmine didn’t say shithole. She said a toilet in the kitchen/front door on the roof and she’s not wrong. My friend is looking to buy and was shown an apartment that’s almost $1MM where…

Not my text, but it’s too good not to share. I work in advertising. It’s a small industry. Everyone knows everyone, which is how I know about this even though it was neither my text nor did I receive it. There was a group of runners at my old agency that decided to do a relay race together. As such, there was a group…

No! Those are my precious free shitty cups that I got at random events, like baseball games. I love those cups. You can have them over my dead body!

Exactly. And it sends a message to anyone else that might work for her that she doesn’t put up with bullshit. Is there supposed to be some kind of threshold for stealing compared to your salary that I’m not aware of? Because I’m pretty sure if my boss caught me going through her purse for a $5, I would be fired on the…

These kinds of people fill me with such unending rage. Two of my cousins (from the same parents) died very young and suddenly (one from an undiagnosed medical condition and another in a car accident), causing incredible amounts of pain for their parents and my entire family. Several of my extended family have been to…

I have a prescription for Xanax that I rarely use. I have been taking them pretty much every four hours since Sunday. Self-care however you can. We will survive this day. 

I beg to differ. This was 2+ years ago and it still makes me laugh. (For the record, I try to make as much of my costume as possible every year and I think those should always win over a store-bought costume. I really just wanted an excuse to post a picture from my wedding.)

NM, the preview was turned 90 degrees but the actual post isn’t. 

My work had a costume party yesterday but I had client meetings so I’m one of the few dressed up today. My dog is going as “confused” which is her natural state. 

Hillary Clinton might still run for president, even though she shouldn’t. [The Hill]

Right? Like I throw a big Halloween party every year and people show up in some pretty half-assed costumes and none of them are ever full, realistic, well-made (at the very least, doesn’t look like plastic). The man is wearing boots. Do men have boots like that handy? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit…

That is not necessarily true. The spiders are HOPING there are inside bugs because it’s a sheltered, warm environment that would make a good home assuming said bugs are there also.

I can’t believe I’m just learning about this organization. What an amazing idea! (Also helps that I’m a sailor so I have a major soft spot for sailors doing good deeds). Thanks for bringing this to my attention. 

The NY Times Magazine just did a cover story on him. He made his money investing, similar to Warren Buffet, and has been giving his fortune away to open closed societies around the world for almost 40 years. He was also a major early donor of Obama’s. 

Hey! My friend helped with his campaign and says he seems like a really awesome guy. I’m rooting for you guys!

Agreed! There are tons of ways people can help even if they live in a deep blue area. Last night, I phone-banked with the Women’s March from here in NYC, calling registered D female voters in GA, where the race is really tight for Senate and House. I was at a stranger’s (lovely) house with a bunch of women I don’t…

I was thinking a similar thing, only in reverse. I’m very very liberal compared to some members of my extended family and we’ve gotten into some pretty heated discussions. I am also just generally not someone anyone would describe as sweet or kind or whatever traits people use to say nice things about someone they…

Well there’s a horrifying bit of information I did not know and wish I could unlearn so I could continue to have the smallest amount of faith left in humanity. 

I’ve been using Drumpf since that IS his family name. 

There’s a small outbreak happening in Brooklyn right now because an unvaccinated kid went to Israel, was exposed to the virus, and brought it home to share with all his/her unvaccinated friends and family (and one child that was too young to be vaccinated, which IS EXACTLY WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO VACCINATE YOU ASSHATS).…
