The human mind, willing itself to believe that nothing is amiss, is quite powerful and this magical thinking propels Nai Nai, and by extension, her family, into living a double life.

I’m totally coolio with that.

Oh, no, my shoes are exclusively comfy loafers, slider sneakers, and and birkenstocks at this point. The feet just can’t stand being enclosed.

Oh, my god, I have to FIGHT to keep my shoes on. I took my shoes off without even realizing it during my dissertation defense. 

Giant Days is my #1 this year, it seems like it’s wrapping up really nicely (although I am really sad it’s ending).

Retort:

The point of minimizing the old gang is well taken - BUT it seems like there’s one big exception there in Bo. Hell, she wasn’t even in 3. But it seems like she’s one of the leads this time out, with what I’m hoping is a strong story arc.

I find it rather odd how on many issues we’ve ceded control of the wording to the other side. Anti-Vax, Pro-Life (which gives the implication that Pro-Choice is choosing death), TERFs (nowhere else would bigotry be called “radical” or feminist for that matter), “Law and Order” as a codeword for racial profiling, etc…

A few weeks later, she asked me an urgent question on Saturday of a three day weekend. I responded to her first thing…

Yeah, no shit. Here’s a real quick way to tell bullshit: If anyone - anyone anywhere in any context for any reason - hides behind “BUT THE POOR STRAIGHT MEN”, everything they’ve said is a lie. 

I’m going to disagree. I felt she had a dry sense of humour and that appeals more. Oomph can be overdone.

i work in a male centric field and have stood in the parking lot many hours just chitchatting with “ the guys” after work —-who I knew would later claim they were late because they were busy saving a life and could not get off on time . Their wives and children went ahead and ate supper without them . I have no doubt…

I have a friend who has a great story of being young and dumb deeeeeep in Brooklyn back when people paid their rent in cash to the large Italian man who came around to collect it from the everyone in the neighborhood every month. She lived above an obvious mob front, the store only sold pencils and erasers and had a…

Ok. Charles is toast. Elizabeth should just anoint prince creepy the philanderer right now. Or Charlotte. England needs a baby queen 👸🏻
