And meanwhile here in the Southeast, I’ve stopped a cashier in the middle of pulling out a plastic bag for me, saying “I’ve got my own,” and she proceeds to pull it the rest of the way out then throw it away.

What angers me the most about paper straws is that we seemed to suddenly decide as a society that single-use plastic bags were actually fine and plastic STRAWS were in fact the source of all evil. So instead of encouraging more people to use reusable shopping bags, which create literally zero waste, we pivoted to…

How fucked up is it to co-opt the very relevant and important #believewomen hashtag to stand on your stupid incorrect soapbox?

I was under the impression that most of the women characters you cited are more like “sometimes messy, refreshingly human, and thus very relatable and likeable”? I don’t really know anything about this woman’s art, but framing it as “ugh, just another terrible TV woman” is kind of weird.

She said she was “having a really hard time right now,” presumably due to factors outside of that quote, and was feeling particularly fragile. I’ve been there. The main difference is that I’m not a famous writer, and hopefully wouldn’t tweet this out to all my followers even if I was. 

Hell, if John Legend is a baby, then call me a pedophile.

How had Lizzy Caplan’s *husband* never seen the movie that basically launched her career?

I bet you’d like this David Sedaris essay:

I said “otherwise healthy.” The only routine/preventive thing you mentioned is pap smears, which 18 year olds should no longer be getting per evidence based guidelines.

It’s standard practice if a patient’s parent accompanies them to the health visit, past age 11 or 12 or so, to ask the parent to step out of the room to discuss issues that they may not want their parents…

“honestly, there was probably lots and lots of them”

Is it though? It seems very standard millennial white girl to me.

“when placed in an aerobic (oxygen free) environment”

Nope, I was too freaked out by even the intro sequence to ever dare watch a full episode.

I’d be happy if she just worked on getting free of writing about them.

Imagine *this* being the hill you choose to die on.

“Two of the three children attended Yale, while the third is still in high school.”

Hey now, as somebody who has very legitimately been both basically dating, but also in a way not really dating, many a gentleman, I fundamentally object to the “one of these is the truth” proposition.

Damn, usually the only time a specific wax figure makes the news is because of how bad it is, but for this one, you could convince me that some shots of it are literally pictures of her from Coachella.

As a former North Carolinian, though - the statement was unprompted but not untrue.
