This makes me sad.

Those same Bernie Bros are in my neighborhood too. They are truly awful.

He has Hep C or HIV, maybe, but then he could still have laser.

Not that guy.

Those don’t look like prison tats, unless prison ink is known for delicate, subtle shading.

No, I think I read it from Martha Stewart maybe? But I really liked how it turned out!

If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, their argan oil is fair trade and is a huge bottle for about $8. I use it on my elbows, my hair, flaky places on my face—it’s awesome.

Oh, and I made clotted cream for the royal wedding too, and I used the cream that didn’t clot for the scones and they had this nice toasty, shortbready taste I really liked.

The Cook’s Illustrated cream scone recipe is the best scone I have ever had, and I have eaten scones in England and Ireland.

The CI recipe is behind a paywall, but this is nearly the same (she used craisins instead of currents; I don’t use either).

My husband just bought some fairly stylish, all cotton chino shorts from Old Navy that were like $20. Just make sure the leg openings are wide enough to sit comfortably but not baggy and you’re good.

Well done, you! It’s a wonderful thing, to have work that genuinely helps people and that you do so well—you should be proud.

There are two books by David Casserett, about Nurse Ethicist Ladarat Padalung, who works at the best hospital at Chiang Mai and solves mysteries with the help of her friend, Detective Wiriya. They’re delightful books and I especially love that Ladarat describes her meals and favorite foods in great detail; it inspired…

Just dismiss posts that are not constructive and full of shit, like the one you’re responding to.

No, you don’t actually have a right to have the entire world conform to your standards. If you want to live in a place with only adults, try a retirement community. Until then you’ll have to get along with people who aren’t like you. I am sure there are people who put up with you.

Thank you! I have a good friend who has an adult child who has autism, and we went to lunch one day and her son was watching a video on a tablet with headphones and occasionally laughing out loud. Some dude came over and asked if he could “shut up”, and she told him that disabled people are allowed to be in public,…

A kid with a developmental delays or on the spectrum won’t process your “good kid” conditioning the way you expect. And the parents of kids with disabilities are not required to debase themselves to suit you. Society is made up of all kinds of people, deal with it.

So you’re a loud, domineering asshole. I see.

My kid ate tamago and ebi nigiri when she was kindergarten age. The first sushi place we took her was a counter in the fancy mall “food hall,” but she loved going and was good.

But it’s really the least important thing about anyone. Pretty doesn’t last but character does.

I hung out with a five year old recently and we had fun playing “the fistbump game” he taught me. You fistbump and then you have to make something up that incorporates the previous gesture. So if you fistbump and “blow it up” by opening your hand, then the next person has to make the open hand into a parachute and…
