Basically.

PRETTY INTERESTING that the Ds who voted against the first time voted for it the second time. Based on what I’m seeing and some other research. http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/SESSBillStatusResult.aspx?BILL=HB24&WIN_TYPE=ActInstrument&TITLEBILL=2017-213&SORT=INST

Yeah, for example, what if the plane had to be evacuated and people couldn’t get out of the seat rows easily because the spaces between the seats were too small, causing a major incident to be worse? I can easily see this happening at this rate.

My legs are so short I can’t imagine that would be comfortable for me. (And no, planes aren’t comfortable for me now! So I can’t imagine how y’all feel who are a foot or more taller than I am.) And how would that even work for infants and children though?

Well, there goes pretty much all my makeup? Though I have to say, I’m 30 and I’ve never had an issue that I know of due to old makeup. That I know of. Now I’m all paranoid. (What if my breakouts in my early-mid 20s were due to old makeup??) Ahhhhh. I guess I’ll be slowly replacing bit by bit.

I wear a 14 in pants mostly because of my butt, wear out my jeans due to thigh chub rub, and I can’t get my butt into 32 Madewell jeans. Soooooo, I don’t know how well I’d do in 32 shorts. If that helps you any?

I don’t know; I don’t underestimate the stupidity of our fellow Virginians in the slightest. I told my husband about all this and he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, our next fucking governor.” And he’s lived in Virginia (grew up in southern VA, went to UVa, now in NoVa) his entire life. He’s seen some shit.

Something that’s a new big craze in DC that’s not so much in other areas because of immigration patterns: Uyghur cuisine. Turkic ethnic group from central Asia, mainly China. Amazingggg food. Washington Post article if you’re curious: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/theyre-chinese-and-muslim-and-they-want…

Yeah, I am JUST A LITTLE WARY of giving an app my SIGNATURE and all my personal info on the basis of a promise?!

I live now basically where you used to, possibly the same building even. All I can think of reading these articles is that I live across the street from the Pentagon and work about three blocks from the White House. Whether I’m at work when it hits or asleep in my bed, I’m a goner. Probably best that way, honestly,…

Whoever’s blood-related needs to hash this out together, because this is wrong and damaging. I speak as a woman who was totally fucked up by this kind of shit that NO ONE said anything about.

HOYA SAXA indeed. I was in his class at GU and he’s a super nice guy.

*sigh* we are so doomed.

I think this is a really, really important point to highlight.

Very interested to know the answer to this as well! I’m a DC-area apartment dweller and a lot of the typical advice isn’t super applicable AND it comes with a healthy dose of disdain and hostility. So yeah, would love to know.

I read Station Eleven a year or so ago and I’ve been in an epidemic panic ever since. Yikes.

Yeah, I live walking distance from the Pentagon. Totally fucked right here.

As someone who just got married in December and had a sister/MOH who did literally none of the things you have done, partially because she lives 1000 miles away and partially I suspect because even if she lived in town she’d be useless anyway, I say you are released from your duties. *taps you on both shoulders with…

DON’T THROW IT DON’T THROW IT please don’t do it. You’ve done enough. I can tell you’re just looking for permission. Please, please, you have everyone’s permission. You don’t have to do it.
