yah, i made it up

Boyfriend does this, tampered down from his original line “How you doin’?” Which I quickly killed. I sent him this post this ensued.

This has happened to me so many times.

Also, why? Why is that “awesome”? Why does a woman being better at something than a man require special note? Being better than men at things is an everyday occurrence for most women. And vice versa. Fucking hell, men are fragile. Even when a woman wins something while competing against other women, we have to be…

He was saying that others had commented that Katie Ledecky “swims like a man.” Then he emphasized that he thinks she doesn’t need to be compared to anyone. This is one of those times when they weren’t sexist during coverage. NBC has to keep improving.

I didn’t get the impression he was trying to boast or win a contest. He just meant “higher than the 2 the article implies would provide.”

because a lot of people need a defined rule

This is why I will never get a tattoo.

Any time I see black laquered anything and gold, I wonder if there was ever a time when it didn’t look tacky and gaudy.

I think most granite looks dated already and am grateful that I spent a lot less money on my old school laminate 10 years ago. It still probably will need replacing but I won’t be crying over how much it cost originally. (I’ll probably do some sort of solid surface when I replace it.)

I am from Brazil and we are one of the top producers of granite. We call the ghastly green granite (granites, really, as there are several of them) “cemetery granite” here. It is what headstones are made out of. So when I watch HGTV and see someone raving about their stupid Ubatuba/Butterfly/Peacock green granite, I…

I would think objecting to a neoliberal warmonger with no discernible progressive opinions would kinda fall in there.

I don't think Bernie can take credit for progressives hating Hillary. That kind of goes with being progressive.

Basically, he’s the 7 year old that just watched a cop shoot the family dog thru a fence - I can understand why he’s iffy about buying a couple tickets to the Policemans Benevolent Dinner.

The defending the misogynist part is not shocking of course but I wonder, why does no one in the press EVER call him out on his repeated statements that “these people” (oh so many people) are asking him this or telling him that. He says it in nearly any interview, nearly every speech and it gets passed over as a…

Considering what she's being accused of, she probably should've left that bit about Hillary out of the letter.

I watched this in the UK last night and our experts all think it’s ridiculous that Harrison isn’t going too. They should have a qualifying time and anyone who makes that in a certain period is up for consideration. If more people make it than you have places it’s up to the discretion of the selectors. I don’t like…

I’m guessing, if you asked, she’d run away very quickly, leaping over any obstacle in her way.

I absolutely adore her. I am so in awe of her talent and aspire to be a tenth of the writer she already is. I can’t even imagine how lucky that baby will be when he or she is older.

Well duh, the female gymnasts who compete right now probably couldn't do the rings because they don't need to. If rings was a part of women's gymnastics, female gymnasts would bulk out in order to compete in that event. Men do have, in general, greater upper-body strength, but if necessary some girls could get…
