It has to do with detachment from the historical consquences of the diseases in question. For example, I’m 37, but the experiences with chicken pox during my childhood was an inconvenience more than life threatening.

i wish to just wear nipple covers when i’m out and not wearing a bra. i hate that i’m self conscious about my nipples showing through.

When I was a low-paid movie theater employee, we were probably the last theater in the US that actually answered the phone instead of having a recording. We had a regular caller, the foot pervert, who would call, want to know movie times and what shoes we were wearing. He never got sexual or disgusting.

Actually, the mouth opens. The world is a weird place.

we all know who they are, and what shitty humans they can be

So what do we think the next move is going to be? a) tearful apology about making light of a serious issue or b) doubling down and calling everyone dumb for not understanding their art? I’m leaning towards b.

I had a Budweiser last week. They should rebrand it as “Complete Shit” and leave ‘Murica out of it.

CALLED IT.

I discovered aquafaba on some FB link with a recipe for two ingredient meringues a few months ago. It has since nearly completely replaced my use of prepackaged egg substitutes. I am eating a lot more chickpeas now as a result. I’ve also found that canned chickpeas freeze well and defrost quickly.

Separate and distinct of the message, it was about the best movie that portrayed the college experience... with its cliques, disappointments, trying to pass as someone other than who you are.

I am BONKERS for old fashioned medical oddities. I have yet to go to the Mutter Museum and it pains me every single day that I haven’t seen the world’s largest preserved colon. That shit IS UP MY ALLEY.

As a TA, I hear these kind of statements from my students a lot, but I don’t see it as a big deal. They’re just using “I feel” as a replacement for “I think.” And despite what Worthan argues, it’s not impossible to correct or build upon these statements. If I can do it with less than a year of teaching experience…

Seriously, this is how I was taught in counseling courses to engage clients and help clients start using this language during difficult discussions. It is a way to own your thoughts and not blame or accuse others. I feel that these Boomers are just upset that their communication, math, and overall social skills are…

These kind of fundamentalist vegans are of a piece with anti-abortion fanatics. It’s a purely emotionally driven belief that all death of this particular kind is an unconscionable murder perpetrated solely for the selfish benefit of the eater/woman. There is a righteous outrage about the self-interest involved in…

Some of it’s practical, but some of it’s also about the fact that a lot of us don’t get to really figure ourselves out during our teenage years, because we have to hide who we are. Unless you’re fortunate enough to transition in your teens/early twenties when “finding yourself” and being awkward are still okay to do,…
