I think that’s been expanded to ‘don’t fuck anyone that doesn’t read.’ Being a snob about ebooks or audio books is like taking the stairs because you believe elevators or escalators aren’t a real experience.

Interesting. I see a lot of myself in this Book Person description, but I hope I”m not that obnoxious. Reading in large amounts is a brainstem function to me. If I don’t have pleasure reading at least an hour a day, I get twitchy. I do find value in most of what I read, whether it’s YA or a book on Buddhism, and I do…

Quickly? Quickly would have been Friday after giving the Cabinet a day to invoke Article 25.

Gah! talk about inspiring post-partum depression. The women I’ve know who had trouble breastfeeding felt like utter failures. 

NK Jemisin, The City We Became

If they wanted an abstract idea, there are shitloads of illustrators out there.

My skin adjusted too, no breakouts for a long time. If I get sweaty in summer, I always carry facial wipes with me anyway.

Not to mention the expense. I have a friend who buys the Wacoal at Nordstroms and they start around $50. 

I had surgery for breast cancer 5 years ago and my breasts are of different sizes and one is higher than the other. I didn’t have enough cut out to need a prosthesis which might have evened them out. I’m on the big side and the bras that come in my size are equivalent to the weekly grocery bill. I have some soft ones,…

Reading this reminded me of when I was told what to do if a stranger attacked and tried to rape me. I was to yell, “FIRE!” because nobody would come to help if I yelled rape.

I find myself wondering why you read the article since. Just an excuse to lecture on a subject about which you know nothing?

I see the same class privilege in minimalism. It’s virtue signalling that they are doing without, yet they’ve got the resources to buy food/goods easily.

That’s more agnostic than atheist. Absence of proof doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an absence of gods. 

I’m flummoxed by religious people’s refusal to believe that atheists can construct their moral and ethical worldviews outside of a religious scaffolding. It’s not that hard.

I moved several times by myself and I have tons of books. Boxes simply go part books, part clothing (or towels or sheets). Like you said, it’s not that tough. 

Sometimes you can’t even control how you respond. I blush at the drop of a hat. Even if I didn’t say anything or even make eye contact with the bullies, I was still reacting.

I was wondering the same thing. I don’t remember this much fuss about Avenue Q and there’s some pretty graphic puppet sex.

I am so tired of hearing about cleanses and detoxes. Half of them are nothing but laxatives and the other half is bullshit. If your kidneys and liver are working, your body will detox just fine on its own.

I was a hot mess with n my twenties and got rejected a lot by men so was attracted to. Took a while to get over it and myself, but it never occurred to me to pick up a gun about it.

The concept of “St. Eliot’s Day” makes me want to stay home under the bed on May 23.
