I would call that style of decorating Atomic Age kitsch. You're right, it's definitely *not* mid century modern, which leverages streamlined forms, natural textures, expansive proportions, and touches of color. 

My peas are flowering! Aside from ever reliable, self-seeding arugula, peas are generally the first home grown veggies of the season I get excited for. I added a few varieties of peppers to the garden this year (padron & habanada, which don’t have the heat of habaneros) so that will hopefully fill the gap between the s…

Oh, that’s not true. I wouldn’t lie about having a degree. Last year, my cousin filled out a job application and listed the years he attended an Associate’s degree program without explicitly saying he didn’t finish the degree. His job offer was rescinded because they said he misrepresented his experience, which showed…

I went through a round of interviews at a major corporation and everyone kept asking the question, “So, why do you want to work for X?” My response every time was, “I don’t know that I do. I’m here interviewing you just as much as you’re interviewing me.” I ended the interview process midstream because, as it turned…

I did something similar during a job interview. It was nearly a whole day affair and I had to give a presentation during the lunch hour. I knew within 2 minutes I could never work in that environment with those people but powered through the stupid presentation. While waiting for the 5th or 6th person to enter the inte…

In an accident, if the front doors pop open, wouldn’t that seat belt design pull you *out* of the vehicle?

Popsicles are distinctly different from quiescently frozen confections. Popsicles are straight up frozen juice - they’re solid ice and you have to suck on them - you can maybe crunch through them after they’re melty enough and you’re one of those sociopaths who chews ice.

You got that mixed up. The woman from New Jersey was not his wife, she was letting his wife have it for being a bigoted bitch.

I couldn’t get over that perfectly restored Bronco in Mare of Easttown either! My husband was not amused that I kept pointing out a teenager who couldn’t afforscrape together $1500 for his kid’s ear surgery was driving a $60K vehicle. Ridiculous.

I loved the show and thought they did an excellent job of tying up the loose ends in the last episode without it feeling rushed or schlocky. I do think they missed an opportunity though to portray Erin’s dad’s experience of both his brothers confessing to sleeping with/murdering his daughter and his reactions to the…

I think this is the best approach and opens to the door to lots of on-the-job training and skill building that will benefit young Americans in the job market while (theoretically) improving our country. Whether it’s going into the military, education/childcare, infrastructure/environment, government/diplomacy,…

I took the GRE in San Jose. The building shook the entire time like it was on a faultline. Between modules, I had to go to the bathroom & asked the proctor if I could/should because the computer wasn’t giving me the option to pause - she told me to click ‘next’ and the timed math exam countdown started. In a panic, I…

What happened to Trinity’s face??? In the AS6 cast reveal confessionals, that shit is Michael Jackson adjacent. Say what you will about her shitty attitude in her original season, but her face had no need for plastic surgery. Whatever’s going on there is not an improvement.

I actively disliked most of these queens in their seasons, with the exception of Pandora, Ginger, Eureka (she was a great contestant in Season 10 though admittedly problematic outside the show), and Akeria.

Ew. That’s a gross take (and specious logic).

Hell YES to all of this. You just followed the argument to its logical conclusion. (but logic never plays into any right wing talking points) 

Well, for starters, black girls & boys have historically been grossly underrepresented in gymnastics. Her particular muscular composition (something about the ratio of short to long muscle fibers that is more common in people of African descent) gives her an explosive rebounding ability and strength. She’s also teeny…

Sorry, all I can see is Caitlyn Jenner... who must have gotten her plastic surgeon referral from Kathy Hilton.

This! I have started getting camel toe from anything snug! Do our vulvas really sag that bad or am I just fat? 

Who’s to say Mitch wouldn’t have refused to hold votes on any of her nominees?
