My gardenia is finally budding little penises!

My godmother, a woman who I absolutely ADORE and legitimately one of the sweetest people on earth, broke my fucking heart earlier today. Like, she’s super religious and I’ve been known that she’s a Trump supporter and I’ve spent many a night agonizing over it...like, WHY?!?!....but at 83, I’ve just learned to accept…

Food! What have you eaten? What did you make?

Great pictures again. As for vintage stuff, we were helping clean out my husband’s grandmother’s house, and we found a McCall’s magazine from February 1929! My husband was going to leave it behind, but I said, oh, this is coming with us! It is great for a laugh, there’s a serially published story, so we’ll probably…

The Holiday 2: Climate Boogaloo

What’s your favorite kind of TV show to watch on your own time? I adore medical dramas (and Sci-Fi) but no one else does here. Well, unless it’s Doc McStuffins. So I’ve been binge watching St Elsewhere for the first time. I’m near the end of now and I’m pondering what to watch next. Before this, I watched all 15…

He said it(or something like it). Everyone knows he said it. It won’t make a bit of difference.  In other news, It’s 115 degrees here and I’m out of cold drinks.

Been having a monumentally shitty past few weeks. I’m certain I’m not alone in that. For those of you who, like me, could use a smile, I offer up this cute cute photo.

And the more groups that join “those people,” the more special the remaining ones feel (of course he hates them just as much, but they don’t believe it.) 

I know a few Trump voters, but I don’t know a single one of them that is going to vote against him now. They would have to admit they were conned, and they sure aren’t interested in that. (Plus for most of them, it’s all about the SCOTUS and they’d vote for the decaying corpse of Charles Manson if it gave them a…

That he is human trash is, unfortunately, a large part of his appeal. His lumpen base does, indeed, know who he is and while some may be uncomfortable with his crazy, they still support his....well can’t say his beliefs or principles. He has none. But he talks the talk as only an experienced conman can. And they’ve…

Veterans and service-members who don’t exclusively watch the sanitized coverage of Trump on Fox News have known this for a long time. He hasn’t tried to hide any of it, but the right-wing media has.

Has that candle been burning since the 1960s?

Thoughts and prayers, dude. Thoughts and prayers. 

Fortunately, veterans like myself and current service members picked up on this character trait relatively early and Donald Trump is not popular with the military. Unfortunately our patriotic conservative family members have decided we suck for not actually loving (Trump) America and accuse us of being naive idiots…

When it comes to disrespecting the troops, the problem with - or maybe the secret “plot armor” of - Trump is that he’s always so personal.

I’m a prof, so I’m seeing this from the other side of the desk. Our large classes are all online (and it is AMAZING how not having the nearby lecture halls emptying and filling with 500 students every hour cuts down on the number of students wandering around...campus is a semi-ghost town). But smaller classes are…

I’m not a college student or anything, but I work in the [censoring this for my privacy] of a med school. We’ve been open to students the entire pandemic. The entire time, students have been coming in groups of 4-8 and taking their masks off the moment they sit down together. Students who are, I want to emphasize, trai…

Totally agree with you, and I know this isn’t the author’s fault, but there is something icky about paying per click. You’re just incentivizing incendiary content instead of relevant news.

Gotta say, putting “and no one will read it” was a good way of getting me to read it. And I’m glad I did, especially because of the reference to the Turnaway study, I hadn’t known about that.
