And when the voting district boundaries are redrawn by the new, non-partisan commission....

A gerrymandered Republican state legislature is a hell of a drug.  🤢🤮

My husband and I also lost our sense of taste and smell for a week to ten days at the beginning of March. It is super strange - food and drink feel weird without taste and smell. I was very happy when my senses started to come back. Not sure whether it was ‘rona or just terrible allergies? There wasn’t a way to get…

Two of my friends did this. Both love it and make more money than they did in their first career. They are also both women, and have interpersonal skills. Said skills are apparently in short supply among standard tech-bros, so they have advanced fairly quickly at their companies. Good luck!

I guarantee that the Edible Arrangements is spon-con. Because Donnie Junior learned the con from the Don. Note the front and center placement of the box, with label facing out? Fake rich people getting really crap things for free.

To be fair - Gavin Newsom has pretty crap taste in wives. His current one is a trust funder who “accidentally” registered as a white nationalist before on-purpose registering as a Republican. Ummmmm...no thanks.

We decided to check out the new hipster small plates thing in our previous city. It was in an old train depot, a neat older building, and it was nicely renovated. We were already having an interesting experience (some things coming as expected, other things not, some things we didn’t order showing up) when I look up…

Too soon? Or just soon enough? A two for one dragging, Goop + Melaniaerrhea.

You may be the first to type it into the comments, but you are surely joined by myriad others who thought it and couldn’t get Kinja to work. xD

Oh yes.  The other day I had to put the shades nearly all the way down because my face was washing out so badly that you couldn't see me very well on the screen.  Pale people problems.

Just commenting to say that your name made me chicken laugh out loud. Love The IT Crowd!

An article I read on NPR earlier suggested that until only 10% of the tests are coming back positive, and 90% are negative, the state/city/country isn’t testing at a high enough rate. In the Detroit metro, the testing abilities have grown tremendously, but the outcomes are still ~30% positive results. According to the…

If you can afford it, do it.  I have never regretted taking a bit of time between jobs when we could afford to do it.

I’ve been tired since November 8, 2016.

I actually just learned that this idiot was a key part of the “thoughts and prayers” approach to the HIV outbreak in Indiana. Everything is making more sense now.

Sadly, our pizza was....not good. It was bitter and shockingly fiery, and our friends had to choke it down because we were poor college students, and there was no money for anything else. I think most people ended up scraping as much “pesto” off as possible and just ate the chicken and pizza crust.  Luckily, we had…

Uh-oh, now I'm feeling like the whole thing could have been avoided if I had paid better attention during Pinwheel. 😁

Then boyfriend, now husband and I got our first apartment. It was a super cute 1920's hotel, converted into apartments, complete with a tiny 1950's two-burner range. We had a Julia Child cookbook from my grandmother, with a recipe for pesto. We decided to make homemade pizza for our friends, riffing on our favorite…

And listen to the Lemonheads 6ix on repeat.  If you haven't heard it, now is the time!

I forgot how pissed this made me until now!  Cate Blanchett was so much better....ugh...I really had forgotten what trash Shakespeare in Love was.
