Sometimes I think about taking one for the team on his ass.

For one thing, it treats Ms. as a shortened form of Miss — which it's not. It's a title for folks who identify as women but do not want to be identified as a married or single woman — in the same way that men are just, you know, men. Always men. Always neutral and complete, regardless of their marital status.

I wonder how many folks struggling with this already have what we do agree is an eating disorder.

The broken barista. :((((

"Big-ass breakfasts OR a ginormous coffee drink with sugar and calories where the vitamins and nutrients should be" is one of the six things I can't live without on my OKCupid profile. I feel you. :)

Aw. There are lots of shitty, passive-aggressive, kinda abusive folks who can really low-level stress people out without them necessarily sensing it until it's accumulated over a while. I def had an older guy friend who constantly made me feel vaguely anxious and stupid, but since he had well convinced me my pervasive…

Was caramel machiatto on their menu? Or did you order off-menu? If it's the former, I don't understand what the problem is when an employee asks you if you are aware that this thing that is very popular elsewhere may be different from you are expecting here. They've probably assumed a hundred times that people know…

Woops—wrong post. Buhleeted.

As has been stated multiple times in this thread, a cafe latte is espresso and milk. A coffee latte CAN ALSO BE an au lait. An au lait is coffee and milk. Half coffee and half milk, actually. Not even a whole coffee. You want to know how irate people get when they see I've charged them the requisite $3.95 for only…

And "coffee latte" isn't even a thing AT STARBUCKS.

I worry abut this being a thing white folks use to derail conversations around race—specifically instances where they fuck up. "But I'm ___, so I can't be racist!" I think of being part of a Theatre of the Oppressed-style group in college, putting on performances base don classmates' experiences with racism on campus…

Because, honey boo-boo, you are using your ethnic background to legitimize your argument, right after you both implicitly and explicitly denounced others for doing the same. It's pretty clear what I meant when I wrote, "I love how race-in-scare-quotes is nonexistent until you need to dredge up your own ethnic…

LOLLLLL

Comment needs more ellipses.

Right?!?! And this:

Naw. "Racism and homophobia are not tolerated anymore" is some bunkity bunk-bunk. You could put the Brady Bunch clan to bed in all that bunk.

You could also just do what I did the summer before I went to college: smoke yourself out of hunger pains. It generally involves waking, smoking a fuckton of weed, feeling really hungry, smoking some more, rendering yourself too incapacitated to make food, smoking some more, killing the hunger-induced nausea, smoking…

Arghhh alright. *blushes furiously*

Oh, those Portland days. Maaaaybe someday I'll post the gushy "Julianne Shepherd is my (s)hero, she rescues the Portland Mercury from being a full-fledged apolitical indie boy circle jerk, here's how/why" article that I wrote for a music zine a few friends of mine put together in the mid-aughts, and embarass you and…

Thought this was gonna end differently:
