It’s a weird layout, but it looks to me like the closer island is kind of a sideboard for the adjacent dining area. Along with the top not matching the counters, the drawer handles are different. Also, the woodwork on the corners is different. It does appear to be fixed to the floor though.

“an organisation that didn’t exist until several years after the fall of the Soviet Union prevented World War III.”

When drafting the book, Cummins said she was “afraid of being called to account for myself.” Which, of course, is precisely what happened: Cummins was called to account for her record of claiming she was white and unequipped to write about race, before doing a full pivot to being a Latina who felt compelled to…

Thank you for taking the time to answer that. My knee jerk reaction is to get pissed at the “just asking questions” brigade because they are often couching their bad faith in the questions. At least now they can never say nobody explained to them.

Prince Harry went from wearing Nazi uniform to a party to protecting his new mixed race family at all costs.

Thought I was spending Christmas alone because I got divorced in the spring, and my family lives on the other end of the country.

As an old person I want to say a few things to you: I don’t think anyone is meant to be forever with the person they’re with at 29. If you’re sexually incompatible, you’d be doing yourself a real disservice to settle at this age. Cut those losses. Twenty-nine is a year of casting off and trying something new, whether…

Maybe because he’s a 98 year old man? He’s a man. Nothing more. Of course he looks 98. Pathetic click-bait shit post.

I spent Xmas Eve afternoon with my therapist. I’m in a very dark place and I was scared. She was kind enough to see me and even spend extra time to make sure I was ok. I’m very grateful to her and I promised her I would take good care of myself. I pride myself on being a man of my word and I will keep my promise out…

This year was hard, painful, lonely and heartbreaking, but it is almost over.

Hi Veggie,

Pro tip 

Sorry to be depressing but I’ll be glad when Christmas is over. I’m feeling so lonely and forgotten. Nobody has sent me a card for Christmas even though I bought a cheap pack and sent them out and nobody has sent me a present. I’m sat by myself on Christmas Eve crying and will be waking up alone on Christmas Day. I’m…

This is the first Thanksgiving since my divorce in the spring and y’all. No more Trump loving in-laws. No more sneaking back next door to door from a flask while I check on the dog. No more being forced to think through Black Friday catalogs.

It’s the first time I didn’t have to work for five or so years, so that was nice. My reason to work has disappeared (my late husband’s family was HUGE, Thanksgiving was a 12 hour affair of watching football in an unheated garage. It was not great) and last year visitors were awful. So I decided to stay home. It was…

As a teen, my grandmother swam back and forth across the Detroit River, with a coach in a boat, rowing alongside her. She taught me how to swim. She is this old lady - well, not really, she’d be like 105 if still alive today. These women broke barriers for the rest of us.

The Royal family is about as modern as the Pope is cool. All William and Harry did differently was pick their own wives. Those wives completely transformed their lives to fit into royalty while the men did nothing to change theirs. So THAT didn’t really change.
