Get a headnet and wear it over a hat. Wear long sleeves, long pants, and gloves that you’ve put deet all over. Make sure no significant chinks in this suit of armor. When I moved to Maine from a dry West Coast location, this was what allowed me to work in my garden rather than stay indoors all summer. It sounds like a…

I wish I could unsee that. Now I’ll have nightmares of these Spawn of Orange Turdsack doing unspeakable things in a dimly lit attic....

Don’t be mean. It’s an honest question, and not all of us studied or remember every detail in civics class. If we had civics class, which I for one did not because shitty American education. Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know, and that’s when you ask, knowing it might out you as uninformed, but asking is the…

I unfriended someone over the c-word. He insisted it was ok and snottily defended his right to use it whenever he wanted, and that I and another friend were overreacting. It’s a horrible, ugly, hateful word and the current frequency of use will never make it okay.

Don’t feed the trolls, it only makes them stronger and happier.

I think they’re all pissed (European leaders) and talking to each other about it and this is the start of their own resistance. Even the French Hand Mangle was hugely important, because it was so visible around the world. That along with the Swerve where he almost greeted Oranjabbathehut and then veered off to greet…

This is incredibly disheartening. I mean, I totally agree with Merkel et al. It’s wise to create distance from the dripping bag of disaster that the US govt is now. I just wish it wasn’t necessary. Sigh.

Any and all resistance is important. It slows down the pace of destruction and it shows people in other countries that we’re not all maniacs. Trolls who whine about how “we” are all talk and no action conveniently ignore the fact that there really is only so much “we” can do. We can’t call the white house and go, “we…

Amen. Your post moved me, and thank you. Guerrilla old persons all the way.

I’m betting he’s had quadruple bypass surgery years before he even thought of being teh prezidint, but has kept it secret. No way can someone look, eat, and live like that without major interventions.

Hallelujah!

Mitch McConnell being referred to as an “infernal geoduck” is the best thing that has happened to me all week. Thank you so much.

My vulva doesn’t like soap, but plain ol water doesn’t quite do the trick. I use Cetaphil which is what I use on my face. No more angry vulva. Nice and clean.

The Isthmus of Taint?

The logic here is both profound and hilarious.

Correct. It was lovely and liberating at the time.

This book and I Hate to Housekeep were on the shelf when I was growing up. My mom and dad were both great cooks, but mom wasn’t above dumping prepared things together, throwing it in the over for a spell, then feeding it to us. It was always good. She was absolutely not a housewife though, so Peg Bracken was a kindred…

 You can’t. Presumably that’s the point.

I’ve stopped using “sad.”

You can take it any way you want. You have your opinion, he has his. It’s been proven very strongly.
