It’s hot and muggy AF in Maine this summer if that makes you feel any better.

FUCK NO. My eyebrows were thick before they were in and they are going to stay that way. I pluck what have to to keep them neat. That is it. That will always be it. I have VERY Strong Feelings on this matter. End of Rant.

Im moving back to Maine after a stint out west, and can attest that all non-Allen's coffee Brandy is raw garbage in comparison.

As a Mainer I thought we’re legally required to have a smoke and a pint of Allen’s coffee brandy on us at all times.

Don’t forget the bitter rival Oscar campaigns for ‘Volcano’ and ‘Dante’s Peak’! So tough to choose!!

Meanwhile, Equalizer 2 is apparently a movie that’s coming out soon.

Fitness/health/wellness/self-care sold to women is STILL thinness sold to women. I don’t think that has ever changed aside from the term. Look at all the photos of women on Goopy’s website. Do you really think a size 18 will ever grace the pages of even the travel and style sections?

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, and it certainly ain’t going to make him as rich…

You mean like the deficit exploding trillion dollar giveaway to the rich that was the Republican tax bill?

Rugged individualism is hot garbage invented by rich, straight, white men to provide an origin myth for their power and success so that they don’t have to be faced with the truth that they arrived where they are by standing on the necks of people of color and women.

Good, make conservatives actually articulate why they believe people don’t deserve these things. Put them on the defensive for why “kids don’t deserve education” is good policy.

We are truly through the looking glass. These women are complaining to the people they’ve built their lives on oppressing that those they’ve oppressed haven’t welcomed them in a warm enough embrace. With a straight fucking face.

Ive recently been told getting a loan in your 70s is near impossible. For a car or otherwise—you better have cash.

55 here. Just laid off for the fifth time in nearly as many years.

I feel like I get more attention from men now than I did in my 20s when I had a discernible waist and no crazy wiry gray hair springing up all over.  Maybe there is something to confidence (or not giving a fuck) being attractive.

Seven decades in.....and I still don’t think I’ve reached middle age. No menstruation (to me, that’s the best perk), no kids wanting 3 meals every day (they’re the only things in this world that I truly love, but man they’re exhausting to raise), no job I have to report to, naps whenever I feel like it, no jerks…

Nope, that sounds fucking great, says this 43-year-old, childless divorcee who is living in sin with a man who is a whole 10 months younger.

Y’all crack me up. 35? The thirties are the shit! The forties are the shit! Fifties? Sure, the hangovers get worse and hair goes grey, but shit - Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the topsoil is pretty good!

I turn 37 in a few months, I guess I better start looking at walkers and walk-in bathtubs.

I don’t see where you’ve also acknowledged that there was a production company and PBS making the show and therefore would have reacted strongly against an openly gay man working on a childrens show. There was probably a threat of cancelling the whole show, and perhaps that is why Fred Rogers reacted the way he did.…
