Because Gawker won’t hire editors.

Oh god I'm so glad I clicked that last link, and especially that I read the replies

The worst i ever saw out of a customer was a woman changing her baby’s shit diaper on the restaurant table. We were a large chain restaurant, recently rebuilt after a natural disaster, and had changing stations in both men’s and women’s rooms. There’s no excuse. I’m a parent, don’t try to justify it it, that’s…

I worked in healthcare for about 15 years and hand sanitizer is everywhere - hand washing is greatly preferred and encouraged, but sanitizer is a safe and helpful option for quick cleans between tasks. Right now it’s helpful for when people are out doing necessary things, such as grocery shopping. If I have to make a…

I've wondered this myself because I'm also an editor and could really use some work right now.  It's not to say I never make mistakes...but there should be a couple people proofing these and there clearly isn't.

It does read more like that now - I’m guessing Joan edited out the first instance of her saying her soul had died (you can tell - she did say her soul died "more" in the remaining instance).  Before it seemed much more directed at the general conversation.

Not understanding why your “soul” was “dying” over what seemed to me (watching it in real time) to be a delightful if occasionally a bit off the rails (we’re all feeling it right now) chat about our current and future climate. Bernie clearly enjoys her and she enjoys him and why the fuck shouldn’t they?  To paraphrase…

Same. Yes I am always a parent, but right now is extra hard because there is no sending her to school, or the neighbor’s to play, or my mom taking her out to the movies, or my husband and her going for lunch without me, or any of 1000 other tiny things I previously took for granted.  JT's quote rung true for me.

This is what I was thinking I'd do with this.   Definitely floating something alcoholic on this

God I would kill for an edible.

I've been reading these dutifully - they're all wonderful and oddly heartening. How are you sourcing them/how would one go about submitting?

This is the one that finally made me cry.

This isn’t a huge thing as far as changing my life, but anyway, here goes.

Definite bi energy and A+ for spelling

I love/hate when she tells this story so much

Those standards aren't modesty, they're safety and appropriateness for weather/situation.  I'm fine with a bikini at the beach but a bikini in a restaurant is going to mean a cold ass sitting on a germy seat.  It's common sense not adult induced shame

This is why, when my 9 yo daughter asks me if a skirt is "ok" for school, I remind her that school dress codes are sexist, patriarchal bullshit, and that all her clothing is ok for school because I bought it and it goes on her body therefore ok.  I imagine these are things she'll discuss with her therapist someday -…

He's a gift to the world and my singular Twitter joy

No, so don't.

I would wear that blazer weekly.  That is a Mary Berry fever dream of a blazer.
