Thank you for using your position of power to do the right thing

I helped my soon to be ex-sister-in-law leave my brother a little over a year ago. It was a rough experience and hard on my relationship with my brother, but I’ll never regret doing it.

I am with you in spirit as backup support!!!.......I have had to stare down my drunken- basement dwelling brother in law-during a thanksgiving two years ago. I have since disowned that side of the family and refuse to interact with them. Best choice I have ever made in my life.

Right there with you. <3 I’m skipping Thanksgiving this year because I don’t trust myself to not tell each and every one of my Trump-supporting asshole relatives exactly what I think of them in painstaking detail. I’ve been taking my rage out on my friends’ uber-conservative “friends” on FB (I’m talking religious…

I feel the same way. I’m scared about the registry for Muslims and what else they plan to do. I feel like my heart is breaking and I am terrified at what will happen. People are already experiencing the effects of this anti Muslim rhetoric. Trying to find ways to get involved and channel the anger and sadness I’m…

Craft Thread!

It hasn’t been debated or anything yet- it was just submitted I believe on Tuesday.

Many bonus points for “feckless fucknuts.”

I’ve been cooking too - Arrabbiata sauce, vegetable soup (a sort of ‘whatever’s left-over’ with mirepoix, tomatoes, and beans), and I have a pot of frijoles charros (Mexican pinto beans, sans bacon though) bubbling away merrily on the stove. The transformation of ingredients into smooth, filling meals is... magical,…

I’m going to miss all the Spanish highlights of our sports.

I made a Texas pecan sheetcake on Wednesday and ate the whole thing as of this afternoon.

33_Footsteps helped me make pineapple upside-down cake this weekend, and it came out great. Also, she made a breakthrough in learning how to stir without flinging ingredients, so I’m hopeful that she’ll be cooking with me for years.

I made early Thanksgiving. Pan stuffing with onion and sage (which I finally got right, first try was too salty and had to go), mashed sweet potatoes, scalloped Yukon potatoes (with their tender, barely-there skins left on), roasted golden beets and their steamed greens, sautéed asparagus, steamed buttered…

I’m lazy so I use box mix but I add chocolate feves then put peppermint extract in them or drizzle them with salted caramel. Super easy but taste fancy.

Haven’t cooked but had a really good ready made meal from my nice grocery store. Grilled rosemary chicken over pasta, goat cheese, roasted cherry tomatoes, black olives, and crushed red pepper flakes.

It’s my first week of Blue Apron, so that’s what I’m cooking and I’m excited.

I made guacamole, picadillo (grounded meat with diced potatoes, cubed onions, tomato puree) and white rice. I had soft corn tortillas. And sour cream.

i set up a recurring donation to the aclu, and i’ve been knitting a lot. i’ve had a few relatively successful conversations with some coworkers, too. but i’ve mostly just been trying to keep it together. i’m the ‘strong one’ in my household, and it helps me to help them keep it together.

I’m making a pizza with buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto, trying to copy the one my husband and I were obsessed with on our honeymoon in Rome. I am always into eating all the cheese and all the carbs.

Not latino, but a white, female, semi-closeted pansexual and I feel you, too (the self-hatred for my white privilege and straight-passing privilege is real right now). I’m asking the same questions. I can only tell you I try to stand up to them and not let them know what you are, because you can’t put yourself in…
