I feel both disgusted and grateful to have learned this lesson when I was a baby undergrad feminist. The male leaders of pretty much every lefty activist group I passed through (I just reminisced with a female friend, we came up with one exception) treated their female partners like shit and routinely spoke over women…

I’m a big fan of gravel in the bottom of my pots for my obscenely top-heavy plants (looking at you, 4' snake plant). The weight helps keep them from falling over if wind gusts in and minimizes my cursing/vacuuming time.

The ‘not-shutting-the-fuck-up’ part is the fucking worst and hi hello I’m about to do it....but it kind of did work that way for me.

I’m catching up on Rupaul’s Drag Race, binging old seasons, and Wilmer’s on one episode (frig, blanking which season.....5?) They had the nerve to be criticizing the acting skills of the queens when he was the worst on the set, BY FAR. I believe you re: his path of destruction if that’s how he is at work.

This is what I was thinking, scrolling through the lists and comments. Like ‘hmmm, I really *have* tried most things’.

I have never had orange cake, but I think I’d enjoy it. I once ate an orange-cinnamon coffee cake with a hefty helping of streusel on it.....and I think I should probably try my hand at recreating it, now that I’ve thought about it.

This is what I’d say. Very correct list.

Post Malone (who is an extremely successful young musician who recently performed at the VMAs, to anyone prepared to scream “I’m old!!!” in the comments) is having a hard time.

Can I just say how delightful almost all of this was? So much freshness and weirdness! Colours! Big choices! I’m very here for it!

Where I live, there would need to be some modification allowed because no fucking way would the climate stay consistent enough over 100 days to wear just one outfit.

I kind of get this logic.... but in the context of maybe choosing a less nutritious junk food-y dinner once in awhile because I can. Not neglecting basic hygiene.

Are we assuming we’re adding nuts to a chocolate chip cookie in particular? I could take or leave nuts in most soft cookies but my favourite cookies ever are every-country’s-‘wedding’-cookie, pecan shortbreads. Also, biscotti without almonds are sad. 

All I post about here is President’s Choice, but for real - my fellow Canadians, PC coffee is legit. The ‘West Coast Dark Roast’ is all I drink at home and I was not so long ago a bougie downtown Toronto hipster. It’s very good, especially for the price. 

It me, the buyer of the pumpkin beer. Novelty is catnip to me, I can’t help it. I hang out with some real fucking snobs and my consistent faves are respectable in those circles but hi, you put what in that ferment? Yes I will try it. Yes I may regret it. Two years ago a brewery in my region started making a ‘sour…

That % of store brand products seems insanely low for American stores. Up in Canadaland there are a couple of major grocery chains and the two store brands of the Loblaws/Zehr’s/No Frills/Superstore empire are both very good. no name takes care of the ultra basics (e.g. vegetable oil, canned beans) and I vastly prefer …

Subway was my savior as a baby undergrad - the ‘veggie delite’, while not very good, was a way to get a big pile of vegetables into my belly very conveniently and very cheaply (6" used to be 2.99$!) I don’t know anybody who goes to Subway because they love it - the convenience and cheapness is key. I’m not interested…

I think the logic is “if she knows it’s a date, she won’t go”, which is insane if you think about a date as something both parties enjoy, but totally fine if women are items for men to achieve instead of people.

IIRC it was some sort of amicable custody thing. Dad was the more stable parent in [faraway city], Mom was the less stable parent in [my city]. He used to live with Dad, he moved up to live with Mom for a bit, then moved back to Dad. It’s also a pretty cheap, short flight, relatively speaking. Given that scenario,…

100% it hurts, I’m sorry it happened to you too.

This story is so upsetting. I hope both you and Ava got the fuck away from that guy.
