I have a friend from elementary school who would not see Ghost because it promoted lesbianism.

I have very little faith that the party > country voters will give a shit, or even remember, come next election time.

Usually if you have a muff you have a bulky coat/jacket on as well. So, perhaps in some cases. But my experience is no, the coat sleeve will not fit into the muff.

I’m so sorry that you were treated that way. Loving an alcoholic or addict is hard, even after they have entered recovery.

Looks like they already make muffs with a strap to go around your waist. And a strap for your neck. Huh. 

I had 2 muffs as a child, one was real rabbit fur and one was faux (I grew up in the ‘80s). They were both on a string that I wore around my neck. And while I looked adorable, any time I had to pull my hands out of the muff it was tragic. Minnesota winters are very cold.

I’m currently trying to find mid-rise or low-rise jeans in my size and I’m reluctant to give up my jeans that don’t fit because they’ll be almost impossible to replace. High-rise hard pants physically hurt me after a long day at work, so I never wear them if I can help it. Tunics & hip-length shirts for the win.

If she pays them a living wage and isn’t horrible to them, it’s not that big of a deal. 

Savage and true.

This is my question as well.

One of the many reasons I stay living where I’m living is that both my primary doctor and my OB-GYN are women of color (like me) who have known me for decades and take my pain seriously. The only idiot who didn’t was a young Caucasian woman & PA who tried to tell me I didn’t need percocet after my D&C + IUD insertion b…

Over on the Root, there’s a story about how Holmes’s wife thought they were working through their separation toward reconciliation.

I had bunion surgery at 15, but I still do really want to wear some toe spreaders around the house just because, for me, foot discomfort (too hot, cold, sore, or smushed) is very closely tied to my moods. However, it’s winter here now so I don’t ever want to be barefoot.

I had foot surgery on both feet at age 15. This is because my bunions were so severe my doc said I would likely be crippled by age 30.

Agreed. The reality shows I enjoy are house flipping, baking, or gardening shows. At least they’re not nakedly predatory.

TIL that Gravy is from my home state.

I feel foolish for devoting time to looking at the post on IG. However, TIL that “pick me girl” is derisive slang for what my mom used to call “male dependent” and thus was curious to see whether Megan Fox was applying the term to herself.

It depends on the type of food + duration that the dish will sit in the dishwasher. I don’t pre-rinse if I ate a plate that only has some ketchup residue on it and I am going run the dishwasher that night during the overnight hours.

My nightstand has been an Ikea dresser for 20+ years. It’s the same height as my bed, so I don’t have to reach down or up to put my book, water bottle, phone, & watch on it when I’m ready to fall asleep. And it holds clothes, which is a bonus. 

I watched this on the morning news and the entire thing was a damned masterpiece.
