They can be. They can also be symptoms of life (ETA: especially as a teenager!) Labeling people as anything other than what they feel they are is dicey business these days.

that was fucking masterful. my hat is off, sir.

I have to say, I’m a huge Pretenders fan and I won’t be buying her book after this interview. She was a prick. You’re right that she doesn’t have to justify herself or her actions or her words, but you know what?Then you say, “I don’t appreciate the question and I don’t feel like talking about that is going to get us…

jabberwocky isn’t a language. i mean. sorry but it isn’t.

Gays are all over here like, ‘Bitch we good, we got Ari Shapiro...”

I will never understand why we ask questions of celebrities and then are surprised when they haven’t been coached to provide a good answer like Hillary. I’d honestly rather we stopped asking. Let them patronize NGOs all they want, RAINN does great work it wouldn’t do without Marlo and Tori and Chrissie. But don’t…

That first story though... my friend had a smallish Sunday brunch wedding. Afterward, her deal was, ‘I paid $2800 for this dress, I’m wearing it all day, lets-go-sing-karaoke-and-get-plastered!” so we all changed clothes invaded a dead-as-hell karaoke bar on a Sunday afternoon, like 25 of us all in our civvies and one…

No, but there has to be some explanation. Come on. Tell.

It’s infrequent I come across another person with Yaqui ancestry. Yo, sup.

I held my shit together for so long in this thread but this just made me lose it for like three full minutes.

Pai Mei GIF is dragged to my desktop! HOLY YES.

the RAV4 actually begets the NX. The RX is a tall Camry wagon, like the Venza. The GX is based on the 4Runner. The LX begat the Land Cruiser

Are you experiencing the Lufthansa effect like I am today? I’m not even getting off the ground til tomorrow. :(

aw, you’re cute.

Brambleberry! I didn’t know regular people knew about them. I’m a soaper and a Pacific Northwesterner so they’re my jam. If you ever have the occasion to visit Otion (their soap shop) in Bellingham, WA, you’ll get lost for hours in the shelves of oils.

I started buying a fragrance oil about ten years ago called, “Earth,” which is Sandalwood, sage, pine, spearmint and a little bit of patchouli. It smells better than anything else I can imagine. If you like those woodsy scents, you should try googling or see if an aromatherapy shop can mix some up for you. Betcha…

The Renton facility is choked with planes for repair and delivery all the damn time. It’d be hard to find a place to park her that doesn’t have anodized teal fuselage skin or weird Asian airline livery in the background.

As a resident of Seattle, just the other side of I-5 from your shop, thank you so very much for what the MOF is and gives back to our community. I can't wait to take my theoretical child there and see their face light up the way mine always does when I walk in. There is no comparison to the sense of wonder and curious…

your sister sounds like a real member of the Coventry University Netball Team.

I give you Topanga Canyon, folks. It connects the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills,) to Malibu via an amazing winding road that really should be experienced at least once in a Mini Cooper at high speed.
