This website is a goddamn delight and I hope you are able to carry on next year unimpeded by herb related bullshittery. 

Dog and cat shelters, foster and adoption agencies should hold fundraiser screenings of this film where everyone is allowed to heckle.

Dude, I wasn’t being “morbidly curious”, more hopeful. I’m trying this method too but I’m in the very early stages and still finding it hard not to feel like the prognosis with this disease is inevitable deterioration. But that could be the depression talking. Thank you for your reply though. 

Do you mean cured as in you could eat a carb heavy diet again without it raising your blood sugar and HbA1c like it did when you have diabetes, the way a non-diabetic person can? Or do you mean more in remission, as in, you technically still have diabetes 2 but it’s controlled and you don’t have symptoms or elevated…

I’ve seen senior citizens get away with a LOT of sleazy behaviour because it’s dismissed as “aww so cute” and “they don’t know any better” etc.

I’ve always thought that if a “Carrie” adaptation could do something with the way the book was framed - it incorporated interviews, excerpts from survivor memoirs, parapsychology articles, etc, between straight prose chapters - that is something I’d be interested in seeing, if it was done well and creatively. Like…

Hoo boy, whatever goes on in the page coding with these image heavy articles, my phone does not like it at all. 

I was literally eating a plate of stir fried cabbage and those tiny dried shrimps and thinking “These little dried shrimps are probably what cooking with bugs will be like in the future when we’ve run out of other living protein, and I think I’d be okay with that” just before I scrolled down to this story. 

There are lots of similarities between American-Chinese food and Australian-Chinese food. But crab rangoon isn’t really a thing here (at least at the restaurants serving Aus-Chinese that I’ve been to) and I wish it was. :(

In Australia there is also a retro Christmas dessert that is jelly/jello with all the fruit and nuts inside. The ice cream version is....much nicer, LOL. 

(I’m Australian, it’s not unusual for Christmas Day to be in the high 30s to low 40s Celsius ie potentially over I think about 102 F.)

It’s one of those qualities that you don’t get to say you have, other people decide that based on your actions and behaviour. 

I didn’t go on a second date with a guy once because on the first one he went on about how fucking “Oleanna” was one of his favourite plays ever and the best portrayal he’d ever seen of “gender politics in higher education”. (“OLEANNA”!!!!!) He was pretty hot but I could not get past that and felt it would only be a…

If anyone needs a hearty LOL today and you haven’t read it yet, read Alice Saville’s review of “Bitter Wheat”, a play about Harvey Weinstein that fucking David Mamet wrote, because of course he fucking would. http://exeuntmagazine.com/reviews/review-bitter-wheat-garrick-theatre/

Jesus fuck I’m pretty amazed at how many people are posting about shit gifts they’ve received instead of shit gifts they’ve given. Can they just not read, or are they deliberately ignoring the heading so they can tell a story even though it’s off topic? XD

A proposal: Every man in the world must present to a tribunal of women. Every man must present no fewer than six women who can vouch for his good character to the satisfaction of the tribunal.

My sympathies to the woman and her loved ones, and I hope that justice is served.

It’s so frustrating that other achievements women can make aren’t really celebrated the way that getting married or having a baby is. One of my single friends threw herself a PhD celebration, as she decided that was likely to be her big-landmark-event rather than engagement, wedding and children etc, and there were…

Haha or if you’re actually single it can be even more dissonant. I’m in a lot more of a vulnerable financial and material position than most of my coupled-up peers and have basically lost count at this point of all the engagement and wedding gifts I’ve bought and honeymoon holiday registries I’ve contributed to. I…

Even before everything came out, Schwyzer always gave me the impression of being one of those male feminists who pats himself on the back for talking to women he doesn’t find physically attractive.
