I love how the dog runs away when the avalanche of balls comes towards him. It's like he's thinking "Aw yiss, got another ball, fuck yeah, got two- OH SHIT OH SHIT THE OLD POODLE DOWN THE ROAD TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL WHAT I WISH FOR THEY'RE ATTACKING OH GOD"

It really is too adorable. That has to be the jumbo size cuteness. And I am just as much a sucker for that little girl voice. My granddaughter has used a similar tactic on me:

Yes - she is right at the age where most children begin to lie. It's very common and does not come from a place of deception, because she is still learning the implications of it. It is a step in their development to learn how to conceive of an alternate reality and the details that would make that reality feasible. 3…

I like how she throws jazz hands midway through as a possible solution to the problem. I'm going to use that in the future.

Actually, I'm generally adequate in the kitchen! That first day (with the soup and the fish) was a hilarious shit-show, mostly due to me being distracted by hunger + trying to blog while chopping + whatever clumsiness was in the stars. The rest of my fuck-ups were mostly about me buying the wrong ingredients at the…

I have some scissors.

As a Spanish speaker who looks gringa - I found that my favorite thing was to not let on I spoke Spanish for a week or so. If no creepy things were said I would let them know pretty quickly.

Or, you know, otters that look like Benedict Cumberbatch hating liquids.

That's why her hair is so big—its full of self-awareness

Yeah, I do not have Celiac, but after I stopped eating gluten at my doctor's suggestion (apparently it is common for Hashimotos patients?), every single thing I had been complaining about disappeared. And a bunch of things I had been mentioning to other doctors also vanished. In 10 days, it was like I was a whole new…

On a semi-related note, I was able to talk a manager at KFC into honoring an expired coupon for a free pot pie yesterday.

The first one is Bentley the Fussy Puppy. Give that puppy his props. He is YouTube Bulldog Puppy Royalty.

Trans women are women. Even trans women who are assholes and have ideologies we cannot fathom are still women. Plenty of cis women out there with terrible ideologies. *coughconservativescough,* do they suddenly stop being women because they discount rape culture, or patriarchy, or are anti-choice, etc, etc. No. So…

Yes! I'm so glad to help. Applying for the program is step one (show up). You'd be amazed at how many people stop showing up. I've gotten gigs from simply being the one who is still here.

Hey there- anxiety and depression over here. Therapy has helped more than ANYTHING but I also recommend Pema Chodran's book "When things fall apart", as well as her CDs - you might find some of her stuff on YouTube? She's a Buddhist, and her approach really helped me.

You guys, what are your favorite internet memes? LET'S LOL. This is my favorite right now even though it's old:
