I have done no holiday shopping. Like none. Gotta get cracking.

Thank you. :) Your kid(s) is very lucky.

This is why I’m worried about a recall. I voted for Fioretti in the first election and Chuy in the second, worrying he was the wrong choice. I’d love Fioretti, but he’s running for state senate now. I’m concerned that we’ll spend a bunch of money on a recall and he’ll win anyway (see Scott Walker) and then we’ll be…

You beat me to it, fellow Chicagoan! :)

You say that but you probably haven’t considered every issue. For instance, would it be okay to race them?

To be fair, they don’t think of embryos as property. They think you should be allowed to do whatever you want with your property.

But as I’ve said, it isn’t helpful, morally, to think of embryos as property.

It’s the Magnificent Mile, not the Miracle Mile.

Came here to say the same thing (but not quite as well as you did). <3

Noel Gallagher: Adele’s music is bland and “for fucking grannies,” but he loves Coldplay.

That’s fine and dandy that you just don’t like sugar, (though I don’t think she’s being quite so literal with the cake thing), but I feel obligated to say that what the bathroom scale says is no indication of whether or not a person has an eating disorder. (I’m not saying that you do, of course, but that in general…

I certainly did that. In college I’d waver between bulimia and what is now called orthorexia. And now, 10 years later, having ballooned up I really struggle with starting a “clean eating” plan. Over a decade of bulimia has caught up to me and it’s really hard to stick to my nutritionist’s plan. It is so very hard to…

I am waiting for run in place for 5 minutes dude.

My dad has an eating disorder. When I was a kid, he would only eat cabbage and tomatoes, or plain tofu. He started therapy (for other issues) when I was in college, and maybe he’s addressed the eating disorder head-on, but he still has disordered eating. It manifests itself differently now, he sort “hides” it behind a…

Recovering bulimic—I was vegan for about 8 months and it was...unhealthy. I have to avoid restrictive “lifestyle” diets like the plague; it’s just too easy to make them an extension of compulsion.

At it’s extreme, this type of obsession with “clean eating” is called orthorexia. It’s a recognised disorder. When people get so involved in a certain type of restrictive diet, such as paleo, it can be really harmful. But often it’s not picked up, and people who are obsessive are celebrated as super-healthy role…

Ahhh. I love the smell of nostalgia and peel off nail polish in the morning.

I know this is SO NOT THE POINT, but my god, her skin is fucking incredible. It should not be possible to be a genius AND have amazeballs skin. Like, give us mortals a chance at excelling at...something, anything, cause it sure ain’t gonna be writing like her.

Queen! Goddess! I will follow you anywhere Margaret! Take me on a Catbirdventure!

Margaret Atwood is an f-ing treasure/best writer ever, and I will read the shit of this and anything she writes including grocery lists.
