That’s amazing. I hate that song.

Stretchy, slippery shoelaces.

Same, except for the delight. I’ll try it next time tho.

Yep. I do spend a small amount of time in Never The Fuck Ever Land when shopping for bras (i.e. “Ohh, maybe they make that one in my size”) but we all know to snap out of it before clicking Add to Cart.

I tell this story too much but I love it: My hometown had the kids vote for the name of their new elementary school building. They voted for Springfield Elementary. The school got named for the nearby creek, and it never fails to strike me as a missed opportunity.

But, like, it’s impossible at that stage. You’re feeding the kid all the time, the only reasonably comfortable garment is a nursing cami, and those just aren’t supportive. Pictures or not, I looked like that (minus the cute and the manicure) for two straight months.

My kid is 15 months and the dog is still pissed. She doesn’t think she was the baby, she thinks she’s another adult and really should have had a say in this whole third human deal. I thought it would turn around once we got to food-dropping stage but naw.

Girl, That’s Not Your Hat.

“Liang is the first New York City cop in ten years to be convicted in a fatal shooting incident.” I had no idea.

NYT did this fucking today, with “woke.” They quoted white writers.

I’ve got a third-hand account too—my parents worked with people who had been in the EEOC at the same time as Hill and Thomas, and it was common knowledge at the time that “Anita was having a problem with Clarence.” It was astounding watching these guys pretend not to believe her when corroboration was freely available.

Really well put. I think there’s also an element of not-smart people wanting to feel smart. When they believe batshit, the rest of us sheeple become the stupid ones.

33's about when that happened to me too. My boss was dating a 23-yo former intern and a (young) coworker shrugged at me and said, “She’s cute, right?” I had no idea because I thought she looked like unformed clay.

Hot sauce preferences aside, carrying red pepper flakes to fix random hotel/airport food is smart.

That was very good headline-writing. One glance and my lunch was almost gone, which I think is the appropriate response. And to think of all the state lawmakers that are obsessed with goddam toilets.

I’d be okay if it were sandals, but open-toed boots are just stupid as a concept. I love shoes and almost feel bad to dismiss an entire category of footwear, but seriously, those are dumb.

I recently went on an anti-depressant (Lexapro) for job-seeking anxiety and the first week or two was something else. I felt spacy, my pupils were dilated, and I was very sleepy shortly after taking it each day. Now that I’ve adjusted I take it in the morning with no drowsiness—wish I would have done that sooner. The…

I ignored my parsley last year and it grew to over 6' — in a planter box! The arugula I planted from seed a few years back has gone utterly feral, grows as well as mint.
