I pulled this off Shutterstock, but if they are in fact french fries in a shawarma it's a perfect representation of middle eastern food done Pittsburgh-style, so it works.

He meekly accepted the grits, ordered something else (he was pissed that he had to pay for the grits, but seriously, dude, I was not authorized to comp a damn thing unless the food was actually spoiled), and left. Quietly. Though he did return to the his table for a moment after paying, when the cook yelled from the…

This. And I'll do you one better: I went into a new, all-vegan place today, and got very excited when I saw gluten-free bread options for the burgers, when it occurred to me to ask about what brand of GF rolls they were using for that since I've never in six years been able to find any that are both vegan and GF.

Japanese animation can be divided into two camps: Hayao Miyazaki and everyone else.

Watership Down. Of course, I fell in love with it when I was still a kid, so I guess it was for kids after all. Or at least one kid. Me.

My life, on the contrary, has been full of white privilege and class privilege…

i met people who were all kinds of unprepared for life. just a "how did you make it to adulthood?" sorts of people.

I lived in Dallas for a couple of years, and when my locally born co-workers started talking about mums, I had NO idea what they meant. I was fascinated. I still am. I'm a sucker for youth Americana whatsits.

Thank you for posting these. Where I lived in Kentucky had this tradition, too. I had nearly forgotten about it, honestly.

Holy crap, that's...well, I have no words. (Texas) Kids these days?

I would definitely be that overly friendly person on the street or in the coffee shop who races up to tell you how much I love your Delirium jacket.
