i am absolutely part of the problem, at times. i don't want to (and actively don't) appropriate- but NA patterns and beadwork and aesthetic is gorgeous to me. see also, traditional chinese aesthetic, japanese aesthetic, and indian aesthetic. i am a white woman with a ton of racial and economic privileged, and i…

Just thank you! For the rant especially...SO TIRED of every plus size blogger doing the same glam thing. I'm looking for boho comfy stuff. Long sweaters with pockets and hoods, big shirts and leggings with some badass Doc Martens. I don't do heels, I'd categorize my style as minimalist artsy hippie. SO SO Hard to…

OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, IN THE WORDS OF AMANDA BYNES' MOM IN WHAT A GIRL WANTS, " TAKE YOUR HAND OFF MY DAUGHTER OR YOU WON'T GET A SCENE YOU'LL GET A BROADWAY MUSICAL."

Random story (And I swear I am not stalking you around Jezebel today).

I don't order lettuce either when I get tacos, and everywhere (because I don't go to Taco Bell that often), I get looks like I've given them the weirdest possible order. I'm not allergic to lettuce, it just seems like a tasteless waste of time to me. But it's like, if I don't like lettuce, why am I even eating a…

Ok, those definitely belong in the mouth part of my face. I'm going to need you to figure out how to email them to me, thanks.

New Kitchenette sub-thread: Can You Bacon That? Yes We Can!

I was baking bread for some friends, but they didn't have parchment paper and it stuck to the bottom of the pot. After a few minutes of prying and swearing I triumphantly held it aloft and shouted (in my most offensive Russian accent) "I SAVE BREAD!"

No one got it. I was sad.

Probably. We would have gotten that one right if you came into my Taco Bell.

"She thought "scallops" were scalloped potatoes and that the restaurant was wrapping slices of potato in bacon as an appetizer."

My empathy ended when they got angry with the staff over it. My field o' fucks went barren.

I assume she thought a root beer float was something other than just root beer and ice cream. Or she wanted it served in a monogrammed thermos.

Only if the red is grilled until it's tender.

She just had a Crunchy allergy, thats all.

I am a working cook, as well as an instructor at a culinary school in Canada. I regularly reference BCO in class, trying to prepare my students for the unbelievable fuck-wittery waiting for them out in the 'real' world. These poor kids have no idea what awaits them...

I know I'm going to get throttled for this, but there's some baby in her mostly-insane bathwater. I am not a fan of GMO crops. This is not because I think they are poisonous or "toxic" it's because I am not convinced that enough independent research was undertaken with regard to how the GMO's effect the food system as…

thanks for your super nice notes! I'm the Heather. You can follow me and my mom @wear_a_helmet

My mom lent the books to my grandmother, who claimed she would read them but proceeded to dodge all questions about them. The books were found a year later stashed in a drawer in the hallway, where I presume my grandmother thought she had trapped satan and kept the household safe from his evil.

I read all three books and watched the movie here in Frankfurt, Germany - while i see that the books could be "exciting" to people with a rather "ok" sex-life, gettig fantasies going (which is healthy and good!) - it's sadly full of misconceptions and i also consider most scenes to be rape, nothing else. And the…
