I wish I still lived in Maine so I could not vote for her all over again.

I KNOW!!! My first thought was, if you can grow a whole new body, why would you want to keep your old penis?

I would literally watch 2 hours of James McAvoy and Bill Hadar reading the newspaper. 

And who goes to IKEA for one item?  She walked all the way through the maze for an hour (maybe stopped for some meatballs?) and only got one thing?  I can’t get out of there without an entire shopping cart plus a flatbed full of stuff.  Hell, I have an end table and a shelving unit in the other room waiting to be

If I were Thanos, I would make sure that all women had access to birth control and safe, early abortions (and also safe late-term abortions when medically necessary), so they could participate in society as full equals and on their own terms. But that wouldn’t be a very exciting movie.

Oh, I understand. My dad is 91, so I just smile and nod as he repeats his Fox talking points. It’s totally not worth getting into at this point in his life. Then I hug him and tell him I love him and go home and scream into my pillow.

I would definitely watch on Netflix while stoned.

Same. Not eating the face off a bear, but Democrat, divorced, childfree.  The shame of it all.

Do you know how the Vermont Flannel holds up to dog hair? I have some older LL Bean flannel PJs that dog hair will not stick to and I love them (and the little doggie print). I bought a new pair this year and it’s like it a friggin dog hair magnet and they become disgusting within 5 minutes of wearing.

Totally agree with you a about the “mirror test.” Every time I read some article about that, I think “Yeah, it shows self-awareness for an animal that relies on SIGHT!” Humans really need to start trying to see the world through the eyes and ears and noses of the other inhabitants of this world. Earth belongs to us

Needs more stars.

Target carries some comfortable bralettes, for pretty cheap. I wear them on the weekends when I don’t have to be perky.

Honey badger don’t care.

Ah, I see that you have met my ex-husband.

Yes! Upper midwest has been pretty dry and mild. On my way to visit friends in Maine next week and can’t wait! Treating myself to a hotel in the Old Port for a few nights.  Looks like cool and in the 70s?  

I just discovered brow gel. Stop ripping the rug out from under me, y’all.

So jealous. Have been in the Midwest for a year now, and missing Maine so much. Well, except for all those nor’easters this past spring....

If I were a lawyer, I would start soliciting clients for a class-action lawsuit against Google. They are really leaving themselves open to either a lawsuit or regulation by not complying.

Spending tax dollars on the tax payers does not equal “free.”

Especially since in our economy the people who work the hardest are often the people who are paid the least. The janitor in your building likely works much harder than your average office drone, but no amount of “working harder” is going to get them paid the same wage....
