Hm. An interesting passage, but it needs much more context to put this snippet in conversation with abortion care, women’s health, and abortion stigma writ large.

My 14 year old son worked at a day camp this summer and a group of kids his age were talking about how they liked Trump because he “wasn’t going to make their taxes go up.” I know their parents and none of those families are making close to $400,000. So while I agree that Boomers are the worst, you are fooling…

I have vaccine envy, too. According to the NYT “line estimator”, I’m 97th out of 100 in my state. I’m grateful to be healthy, but at this rate, I won’t be vaccinated until the fall...if we’re lucky and production speeds up and we actually get doses in arms before they go bad.

Hope there has been enough of this sort of news to disabuse the commentariat of their consistently ageist assumptions.

If it has too much oil on it when someone tries to cure or season it it may become sticky. you want as close to 0 oil as you can when seasoning it. sneak up on a good season

Thank you for this post, but there is much more going on here. There is a civil case that others have brought for similar circumstances that are being forced into “religious arbitration” because a few of the victims (who are no longer Scientologists) signed a billion year contract.

The black gunk is mostly likely extra unpolymerized oil, which you should wash off. Don’t use a towel! Dampen the pan, add a light palmful of kosher salt to the damp pan and scrub in circles with something abrasive, like steel wool, chainmail, or a ball of aluminum foil. In addition to being coarse, salt helps absorb…

I feel like I have been living a lie. I even have a special “cast iron skillet-only” sponge I keep under the sink!

Ah, so the Incredibly Wealthy Man has deputized himself and his bot buddies to surveil and enforce coronavirus safety protocols for the crew members who likely make a tiny fraction of whatever he’ll be making from this movie? That seems totally reasonable and not at all like a very bad idea! Looking forward to more…

It sounds like they are using solitary confinement as their quarantine method, which is absolutely abhorrent. If they can’t keep him safely isolated without resorting to solitary confinement, they should absolutely send him home. And yes, there are a lot of other people in solitary confinement for those and other…

Are they robots, or are they Scientology Sea Org members pretending to be robots? 

Ya’ll are cold as hell. The only kid not business driven in that family is Rob and he still makes due. I truly think she loves her kids and you can’t hide that. How many companies in the US are owned and passed down to families and do way worse for the world... ahem Trump businesses?

Is George Wendt a right-winger?  That’s really disappointing; he’s a known Bob Mould/Sugar fan, which I assumed meant he was cool.  

Republicans have long feared the prospect of Mr. Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist from Vermont, taking the helm of the powerful committee given his embrace of bigger government and more federal spending with borrowed money. With Democrats reclaiming the Senate, that fear is about to become a reality.

Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly “done with Trump’s bullshit.”

This is heartbreaking. I loved her as Amy/Tuba Girl on Freaks & Geeks. Seems wild that she was in only in two episodes. In my memory, she feels like a pretty important character.

This is sad.

I’m a 63 year old librarian and there’s no way I’d be able to stop myself from pantsing that guy.

I’ve long been disappointed that Selena Gomez has been involved in this church, even though she herself is very openly supportive of LGBTQ+ rights.

“COVID-19 has made its way to my doorstep,” wrote Woodfin in a Wednesday tweet revealing that he was suffering from mild symptoms of the coronavirus. Two days later, on January 1, the first-term mayor’s grandmother succumbed after a prolonged battle with the illness.
