I've just heard the show Legit (Jim Jefferies) has a disabled character that is done quite well.

hahaha yes.

Ya! Good example! Surprisingly coming from Family Guy :P

My poor SIL wanted to have a sleepover with popcorn and bad movies and her friends made it into a night out at a club with tons of drinks and penis paraphernalia. She had a good time in the end but it was definitely not what she wanted.

Working at home has really cut down on my laundry. I wear suits/dresses to see clients then change right after so I can get a lot more wears from them before washing.

Ya it's funny, Adam Carolla (who says a lot of ignorant stuff don't get me wrong), said in a recent podcast that he doesn't like comics whose whole shtick is their appearance (race/gender/size/etc). He says it's funny if you touch on those aspects of your life but it shouldn't dictate your whole set. I think that…

And by that I mean realistic character portrayals that aren't all about them being disabled but just them living their life or getting into hi-jinx like everyone else.

I think it's like curing racism maybe - exposure to those you are afraid of? In my experience people who have friends and family members with disabilities are generally more relaxed and comfortable around other people with disabilities. As stupid as it sounds I think having more tv characters who are disabled or have…

You're not rambling or unclear. I thought it was a very insightful piece. I think you're right, we would all be keenly aware of the differences.

Yup happened to me the other day. Family member's new bf made a shitty attempt at double entendre regarding my breasts. He said it slowly and looking right in my eyes. I just laughed nervously and moved on. No one else seemed to hear it. I am still so ashamed of myself for not defending myself but I have no idea how I…

This might be a dumb question but - don't thin women have to "know" their privilege just like men have to?

Aw yay!

Yup Beyond the Nail on etsy :)

Ya totally more interesting! Like crazy chunky glitters. And we're coming out with color changing polishes this week that change with temperature. Super fun!

I make my own nail polish and so mine is my fave, obv. I use a pure black pigment that has no other color undertones.

Ya but now I am more comfortable with drinking on flights so that helps.

Oh I have a positive story too! I am not a very good flier and I was taking my first flight all by myself (on Valentine's day no less). It was an 8 hour overseas flight and I was pretty terrified. The older gentleman next to me helped to calm down by talking to me about random things and when we had turbulence he held…

Look I know some people are genuinely too busy every single day to cook meals, but I spend my Sunday evening cooking a bunch of food and freezing it for the week. That way I have the convenience of frozen food with the control of exactly what is in it.

I don't know if she really feels like that or just doesn't want to lose the support of anti gay marriage Republicans. I think it's a smart political move at this time for her to frame it that way, whether you like it or not.

Oh you must not have the Jezzie handbook. Rule 149 is to never state that motherhood is in any way easy. (Rule 340 is to never leave for lunch after posting something.)
