Yes! Why is there a desk with a computer 10 feet behind me in my zoom background? These would all just look super weird.

Emma Thompson’s Much Ado About Nothing is a delight and she is a treasure forever. That movie made me fall in love with her. When I’m making dinner, to this day I’ll tell my husband that “against my will, I am sent to bid you to come in to dinner.”

He gets very confused every time.

That response works much better for a man than a woman. I said that at 25 and literally had one man in the office who told me he was ‘going to make it his mission’ to convince me to have kids. No dude. NO. That’s wildly inappropriate office behavior, for one, and it’s also never going to work. I knew when I was 16…

My birthday is Friday! Happy Birthday, fellow scorpio and Valentine’s baby.

Close, but the flavor is not squirted on top, it is mixed in ahead of time. The ice chunks are very, very fine, and there’s usually fruit actually mixed in. Rita’s used to have a lot more fruit, now not so much. Try John’s Water Ice at 7th and Christian. Much, much better than Ritas.

Philly is big, and a very diverse city with a huge minority population. I wouldn’t say there’s a large organized Brazilian population, but there are plenty of Brazilians here... My husband was actually in a Brazilian funk band for a while...

Also, yes, we just want to party in the streets. It’s a thing. Philly loves a…

Can’t say as I’m a huge fan of our mayor in general, but I fucking love Philly. Of COURSE it’s a huge dance party to drown out Trump supporters at the convention center. Of COURSE when Trump supporters say they want to come down here and cause trouble we’re all saying BRING IT. If he tries to stifle our voice I can…

I always buy a pin from each campaign, partially for the historical value. The ice cream Biden pin is delightful, and I can wear that well after this campaign season. I have a Hillary pin, an Obama pin, and an Occupy Philadelphia pin. 

Why not just get some godiva chocolate liquor and some peanut butter whiskey and make yourself a shot? Those are both things you can purchase.

For Thanksgiving this year, why not help a local small business? A bunch of restaurants in my area are offering pre-ordered Thanksgiving dinners for various size groups. I just put in my order for a two person turkey dinner today. Just supplement whatever your families ‘must have’ side dish is. Ours is corn pudding,…

And goes better with vodka!

Fauci is saying the most he can say without getting fired. Would you rather he get fired and a total Trump moron appointed in his place? As Director of the NIAID he has some say in policy, the ability to direct that agency’s funding, and a national platform. 

But a woman did NOT win in 2016, because of the electoral college. As long as we keep giving midwesterners a bigger say in the presidential election than everyone else, nothing is going to change. I can assure you, midwestern attitudes about a woman’s role have not changed. The only way we’ll get a woman in the white…

In 2007 I told all my friends who were torn between Barrack and Hillary that this country would elect a black man long before they elect a woman of any color. That includes the white women of this country - the specter of Phyllis Schlafly is alive and well.

Yes, they do! It’s one of my go-to cheap lunches. I ask for the shredded cheese instead of the whiz, and get a small chili to go with it. Great on a cold day.

Sometimes you need a paper towel. Drying your hands is not one of those times.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one - there is no chardonnay OR rose in that tank. The Karens’ are safe and happy and busy adding more ice to their white whine.

The continued lack of paper towels is distressing. I went to the grocery store the other day, and got one of the last multipacks of paper towels on the shelf, and I seriously had to guard my cart for the rest of the trip. Everyone kept asking me where I found them.

The poll just says it’s a ‘major’ reason for 11% of respondents, not the only reason. So many people in these comments just saying, “whatever, those people were never going to have kids anyway.” It frustrates me to no end how little respect anyone gets for their own reproductive decisions. Everybody has their reasons…

I love mustard powder! I do put some in my mac and cheese recipe, but more for added depth than anything else, and way more than half a teaspoon of it. It’s great in dry rubs too.
