What harm comes from supplying people with birth control, condoms, Pap smears, and cancer screenings?

She seems to be on a Jolie style trajectory of becoming more political and outspoken as she gains more power and I’m kind of loving it. I’d be shocked if she took it as far, but it looks like she’s having the same “maybe I should do something with all this attention I’m getting” lightbulb moment.

What is happening on her ears. Are these giant safety pins? Are they triangles? I might like them, but I’m not sure.

Me too. He’s one of my favorite actors. He, and everyone else in this situation, deserve so much better.

A good time to consider what life was like for both health care providers and patients in the Pre-Roe days, and what the right wing wants to bring back:

I completely forgot about that. SHIPPING RESCINDED.

Sorry muthafucka, you bang one teenager and make a song about it I don’t believe shit you say when you are caught up with another teenage girl.

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters are definitely back together, which makes me happy for reasons I can’t quite articulate.

Tea is toxic to amphibians.

My Dad is a farmer and he shops LL Bean exclusively. He buys a nice shirt and pair of pants or two about once a year or two (I’m not sure on the exact rotation). He wears the new stuff out to parties, dinners, etc. Once it starts to get a little old, he puts it in his around the house rotation. Once it gets a bit…

I don’t know how old you are, but Talbots, Ann Taylor, and Lands End all hold up pretty well, depending on the garment. I’d suggest finding the nicest consignment store in town (i.e. where the rich ladies consign their clothes) and starting there. The brands you tend to see are ones that have held up enough after wear…

Another note (i work in textile development): Look for natural fabrics as often as possible, especially if concerned about warmth if you live in a cold climate. In particular, try not to buy anything blended with polyester if possible. 100% wool (or cashmere if you have sensitive skin) is the way to go. Polyester does…

Don’t turn your nose at this, although these stores do have a slight mothball smell—thrift stores!

A high-quality bag in a classic style can last for a lifetime.

I once bought a black leather trenchcoat because it was a cool black leather trenchcoat. It also cost a solid $900, which hurt, but I waaaaaanted it.

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Kind of related story. I was working at a nursing home and this lady was a feisty 105 years old. She absolutely would not eat anything except Hershey’s bars and a glass of cold milk. Someone wrote a letter to the company and they sent a dozen roses and a case of chocolates to her.

It’s very cute. Kids always write letters. One of my siblings once wrote to the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup people and asked them to send her samples of their products do she could give them her sseal of approval. She was 100 % serious.

I think you mean “how rude!”

That said. I hadn’t acted since I was 18 but I auditioned for a show this past fall at age 31 and was cast and had a big monologue and everything. Yes it was community theatre but my sister who is a professional stage actress came and I asked her to be brutally honest and she told me I did a good job and which people…
