I just spent my 40th birthday up the top of the Eiffel Tower. My husband gave me a really cool ring he had made for me out of some of the major Parisian landmarks - Arc de Triomphe, Tower, Moulin Rouge, Louvre etc while we were up there and we drank rosè champagne.

Man that is just like my engagement story. I was putting away some groceries while my husband was doing the dishes and he said “Let’s get married” and I said “Sure”.

About 20 years back in one of my first jobs, one of the saleswomen had a similar engagement story; he sent her on a spa day and when she asked for her coat, the spa girl brought her a fur (apparently they argued for a few minutes before saleswoman accepted that something was going on and not just that the spa girl was…

They don’t wear signs.

“I’ve got a shovel. Nobody saw nothin’. You know it’s the right thing.”

My people!!! <<sob>> Been hearing tvs, smelling electricity and light bulbs for forever. And air conditioning? Other people can smell air conditioners too right?

I totally can but I can also smell everything.

Goddamnit Brooklyn, I love you so. Why do you keep embarrassing me like this?

Can you imagine having to do attendance/roll call at that school? I’d either end up vomiting or laughing uncontrollably.

Seriously, I get wanting your offspring to be unique. But I’ll remember a Mike who invents a cure for AIDS faster than I will a Balthazar who makes craft cocktails based on moon phases.

Wow. You won’t even TRY to festivate.

Yep, that guy is amazing. Also the press did research into his background and he was part of a team trying to save victims of the Lofthouse mining disaster, 7 people died. He has always been a hero.

Yes, but the Nazis tried to do it for the *right* reasons, whereas the EU wants to take over Britain because of...bendy bananas? I think it was bendy bananas.

Tell me about it. Let’s not overlook how the fact that Sen. Peterson is a Black woman impacts this situation. As a Black woman, my ‘tone’ is constantly policed, I’m asumed to be angry or aggressive. I can be right as rain, whispering a question while smizing and still get a comment about my attitude. So ol’ boy can…

He tells The Advocate that he would have preferred being “politely” informed that the cakes were “disrespectful” rather than being cursed at by Peterson.

We call that Freedom Foam.

Oprah is a shameless opportunist and it is about time she was called out for it. She preys on society’s most vulnerable members and feeds them consumerist pablum as way to ‘fix’ their problems.

The only time this happened to me I was on a flight to Korea and had the window, while a kindly old Korean woman had the isle. We exchanged pleasantries (nods, es she didn’t speak much english) and I silently helped her untangle her earphones. After the plane took off and we both realized there was no one to sit…
