Heather and Jessica aren’t girls. They’re women. But sure, go on about their misogynist attitudes.

For me, coffee fills the “pleasantly bitter” niche formerly occupied by beer. 

I eat healthily and moderately, I don’t drink, I’ve never smoked, and I don’t eat sweets. I get a lot of pleasure from a good cup of coffee and since it’s my one remaining food based pleasure, I would truly miss it if I had to give it up permanently. 

I have given up alcohol for several years now, and after a while, it’s nbd. Coffee would be much harder to give up.

I’m glad Britney is getting help if that’s what she needs. I also think her dad making money hand over fist off her labor is bullshit. Is a Vegas residency what is best for her, or is it is what’s profitable for her father/conservator? Let her go home to Louisiana and teach dance to little kids or whatever will make

I totally believe that her father has exploited the conservatorship for his own gain. 

Bernie doesn’t give two shits about women, and you’re not progressive if you’re not feminist. 

BFing was faster after the first couple of weeks. Before that, though, my baby was not good at nursing and I was a first time mom, and it took us a while to get the hang of it. I’m glad we stuck it out, but it was hard work at the start. 

Most big chains do that now, so you’re limited to Mom and Pop type places or AirBnB. 

My work has lots of meetings there, so I’m there at least twice a year. I have found that if I ask nicely, they’re very nice about it and very willing to accommodate me. I get the feeling that it’s not an uncommon request.

And Caitlyn Jenner. 

I don’t go to the pizza place down the street because I don’t like their pizza. If it closes, the employees will lose their jobs. Sucks for them, but you’re not really arguing that I have to spend money at any business where I don’t like their product for any reason, are you?

See, the thing is, I don’t really give a fuck if my choosing to never eat Hate Chicken with Pickle sandwiches impacts the Catheys in any way. I don’t want to spend my money there, because I would not feel good about myself if I did. So I don’t. I am not obligated to spend my money with any business I don’t want to.

Saying “You don’t deserve the same rights as I do,” is not a difference of opinion. It’s denying someone else’s humanity. 

That depends. In Florida, at least, housekeeping is essentially piecework--housekeepers get paid per room cleaned rather than an hourly wage. 

Some people need to get over themselves. DND is not a magical force field; any hotel worker can enter your room at any time, and after Las Vegas, many hotels are unwilling to permit this. 

Many hotels have prohibited this after the Las Vegas shooting. If you don’t want housekeeping service, that’s okay, but then someone from security must come in your room at least once per day. You are welcome to be there when they do, but if you’re out and it’s been 24 hours, they’re going in. 

I have it on my laptop, which got it selected for special attention going through TSA recently. I had to pull up pictures of Woody Guthrie on my phone before they chilled out. 

We should make “This Land Is Your Land” the new National Anthem. Normal people can sing it, the lyrics aren’t cringey, and it is inclusive rather than militaristic.
