It’s just the cats (one of whom has spent almost all day lounging right in the middle of my bed, where he is not usually allowed, but I decided to let him in the bedroom today) and me (not a fan of social gatherings), so it’s a snacks and Netflix day. Two movies so far: Beauty and the Beast (live-action version) and

I’m a Muslim woman who has never actually been in a romantic relationship, so I should be the last person to dispense advice but I’d say

Well, we’re going to have too much food but it isn’t a ton of work because I just order from Whole Foods. There’s only three of us- me, my husband, and our son. It took a while to make a small holiday feel like a real holiday, but we got there eventually. My folks are gone, and I do miss my mom’s big Thanksgivings-

Duh, in my other post I forgot to include that my day started with a phone call from my doctor telling me the results of my breast biopsy are NON-CANCEROUS! Whoop, whoop!

It’s just my husband and me today, so I cooked up a big pot of soup, and we have renamed today “Soupsgiving.” We went to the gym, watched a couple of DVR’d shows, and I’m near ready to fold myself up onto the couch and read for a while *shhh... I’ll end up taking a nap, of course...*. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Noooooooo, parents are one degree of separation too far. It’s just me, my husband and our kids. That’s the sweet spot. And s’mores are the right answer to this pumpkin pie BS ;)

We’re immigrants, so it’s just the 4 of us, 2 dogs, turkey breast, risotto, wine, and s’mores. I love it. If there was extended family around we’d fight, so I’m glad they’re one hemisphere away RN.

No advice, but 29 and perma-single here also. Solidarity.

I’m sorry :(

Sorry, man. I quit my extended family, so things are pretty chill over here. I’ve eaten nothing but Chex Mix all day and I’m about to go preheat the oven.

Hey Jezzies,

I have sever anxiety and panic issues. I am also a SEVERE germaphobe, but I don’t have OCD. Had I been in your position, I would had a total panic attack. I actually don’t go to other people’s homes for this reason (unless they are a known Clean Person), particularly to eat, and never ever ever to sleep.

Sure, I get that. But honestly - surprise, surprise, I know - I don’t think of TSwift’s Instagram Hologram as a celebrity persona I would like my- again, nonexistent- kids to try to emulate. I mean, I like the fact that she kind of plays guitar - apparently, she’s inspired a bunch of girls to take up instruments. But

And 1989 wasn’t all that great!!!

Okay. Here goes.

I find it kind of hard to imagine that Swift is so petty she’d have her music go back on today just to fuck with Katy Perry

I’ve actually never watched Paradise— I always forget it’s starting, and then am like “IT’S TOO LATE I WON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON” which is... the dumbest thing ever to think about The Bachelor franchise.

I honestly believe she’s one of the most beautiful women. I swear Amal Clooney has copied her steeze, though it must be said that Amal did better in the husband department.

Just to add to the photodump of her absurdly pretty red carpet gowns:

White women can’t wear taupe. Sorry but it looks ghastly on us. What happens in high fashion styling that makes women agree to wear colors that make them look like the living dead?
