As the kid who got sent back into the zoo to make sure everyone else had gotten out to the car and got back to the car only to find it gone; I know that feel.

Second born girl here. I got to be both “the responsible one” and “the smart one.” I’m also the one that gets treated like the family dog.

Right. He endangered every single passenger on that plane by trying to open that door, he should be on the hook for 210 attempted murders.

Oh, I thought she was working with a designer or a service or something. Well that problem’s mostly of her own making then. If she wants not grey, she’s going to have to lay down the law to her dude.

Yeah, and they do take on “dinge” as a color, if you don’t use a whitening agent in your wash. Particularly white cotton jersey sheets, which I have. I use a bar of plain old lye soap for laundry (didn’t like the Grandma’s Washing Powder) and it gets things clean, but white...*shakes head* Ugh, white is so damned…

Directly from my brain, sadly. I could NOT live with those flowers on my wall.

I...I can’t think anything but “spiders. spiders, spiders, spiders. Spiders in the poppies.”

I dyed my own hair for far too long to be comfortable ever buying white towels (or bathmats.)

Grey is the only given option for a gender neutral nursery? Did something fucking happen to red, orange, yellow and green, or are the people she’s working with really that lazy and unimaginative?

An hour and fifteen minutes before I can go home and hibernate for 48 hours, just me and the gin in my freezer!

Wild Things really does not get enough credit for being what it was. There are very few movies from that era that I can rewatch endlessly, but trashy, sordid little Wild Things drags me in every single time.

It didn’t sound like you were ingnortrolling, so I figured I’d answer you before anyone jumped down your throat over just asking a question.

Well that’s depressing.

“Sally Hemmings’ slave quarters found at Monticello.” That is literally everything they needed to have said in their tweet. At this point, anyone really interested in who Hemmings was already knows, and if they don’t know, there’s Google and Wikipedia.

The thing is, it’s the thoughtless, clueless, “but there’s nothing wrong with it” kind of racism that actually does hurt us (black people) and other POC the most. That’s the kind of racism that makes policy that just completely ignores the fact that we’re here and underserved and have been for a long time and that the…

*snort* Out of the greys is no guarantee. There are those of us who have been here for years and are still greyed, or who after having been ungreyed for years will suddenly find themselves regreyed.

But there won’t be any mass deportations! (And they are most likely actually telling the truth about this.) However, I don’t see how mass incarcerations in deplorable conditions with no discernible end in sight is any better (rather, it’s probably worse.)

Oh, yeah, syphilis can definitely affect your brain. It can also lie dormant (I did have to look the dormancy up) for up to 20 years before it does.

Huh. I didn’t realize that halibut are as butt-ugly as monkfish.

Ugh, people have done that to me with my niece and nephew. It’s like, how...do you expect them to learn how to speak properly...if they’re never spoken to properly?
