Ode to Groupthink
I know there’s a lot of this going around lately. I like to be the center of attention so I made my own post. :) Feel free to share.

I am sick to my stomach about this. If y’all haven’t seen it, basically a ton of areas of south Louisiana are under major water - like, up to their roofs, standing on their cars, being rescued by good Samaritans with boats. Good thing fishing is a big deal. I hope all our Louisiana-based GTers are safe and dry!
My husband and I are planning a trip to Montreal in October for funsies. Other than it being basically Louisiana winter at that point, what tips you got for me?
(heads up: mild weightloss/diet stuff, no numbers in the post though)
My friend from college and his girlfriend are coming over tonight for dinner. I want to make this peach, tomato, and ricotta salad. Can’t decide what to do protein-wise and grain-wise. Maybe some grilled shrimp? Maybe some grits? I dunno. Whatchu think, GT?
I’m not exaggerating. I was listening to Trump in the car on NPR on my way home, and I had to pull over and puke into the road. Of course, I might have been having a puke-y day anyway, but I’m positive listening to that shitbag triggered it at that moment.
Yesterday I got a Fitbit (be my buddy because I really can’t handle trying to be buddies with my marathon running family members). I then realized you could link it to My Fitness Pal, which I am still figuring out technologically (be my friend there too!). AND THEN I downloaded Pokemon Go because I don’t like being…
Heads up - a commenter on Gawker (GawkerIsACancer5) this evening is posting extremely graphic pictures of murdered women on different articles. I had to dismiss one but it was horrible. By the time I saw it, it was approved and in the black so the image was out. I realize that posting this constitutes a call out but…
I am very, very minimal about purses. I mean, I want them to be like, a base-level cute (in my mind, and I don’t think I’m picky), but after that, it’s all about size, pockets, and how I feel with it on my shoulder. Then I use that particular purse until it dies. I’m actually thinking I want one that hangs under the…
I tried to limit my rant to the title, haha. I find Fathers’ Day difficult (and I know many of you do for a variety of reasons). Say anything you want, whether it be father-related difficulty or the consistency of your morning bowel movement. Or other things. I’m sure there are more than those two things to talk about…

I’m sad about Jo Cox. Now they’re saying her murderer had ties to neo-Nazis. Quelle surprise! Of course, plenty of
rational Americans
fucking idiots are using this as proof that gun control doesn’t work. And when you present them with a statistic, like any of the ones posted below, they still seem to argue that…
I am a great cook. Like, a goddamn badass. Not gonna lie. So is my slightly younger brother. I am SO OVER our mother being disproportionately impressed with him! [worth noting: this is not my brother’s doing AT ALL]
I mean, not for the right reasons. My workplace is trying to get out in front of this whole salaried people getting overtime soon thing.* We’ve been audited by the department of labor before, so I get that they are wanting to tread lightly with that stuff now, but this is SO unexpected; they tend to do everything the…
Some of y’all have probably seen this, but Brock Turner (Stanford) was convicted of raping an unconscious woman. His dad decided to make a statement, said that it is a “steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action.”
My click-baity headline is not an exaggeration. After the emotional mindfuck of the past 14 hours, I cannot believe that is what it came down to.
