Oh, I have given you the wrong impression— I am definitely not a vegetarian or a vegan. I eat all the tasty creatures. But I attempt to eat healthfully-ish at least part of the time and so bacon and sausages are rarely on the menu, which is unfortunate because I love both. However, I do enjoy the vegetarian imitations…

Bacon for life. MorningStar Farms makes kiss-kiss-perfectly flavored faux sausage links and also-good sausage patties, some maple flavored. And when I eat those I don’t have to think about ‘how the sausage is made.’ Bacon on the other hand is utterly irreplaceable, no vegetarian substitutions are even remotely close, a…

Oh, my god. Damn. That’s awful, and I’m so sorry. You are the furthest thing from a failure though. You are delightful and fun and thoughtful and whole and write memorable posts and that’s coming from someone whose memory is dysfunctional and who visits GT all too rarely of late. And working full time (it is full time…

Ahhh I love your positivity and stick-to-it-ive-ness and (this uncool  friend situation aside) I’m so glad things are looking up, way way up for you. Have so much fun with your awesome guy!

Boy did reading this comment make me come over warm and fuzzy. Beautifully said.

Unless you start voting Republican there is no way you’re going to let anyone here down. My contribution will not be much because we are all unexpectedly unemployed in my household at the moment but meh, we do what we can. Take care of yourself, hang in there, and know that a great many friends and also internet randos…

I haven’t tried dating apps anytime recently, but I do think they’re a good place to work from because you can specify the things that are most important to you (dealbreakers, basically, though you want to phrase that stuff in a positive way) and also because you’re dodging the whole approaching people when they might…

Same re: ‘curate’ for the most part but I do use that word in the context of arranging my kids’ artwork on our artwork wall in the kitchen. It’s a carefully curated collection.

Everyone knows only Pete Buttigieg can defeat the Night King.

Make America Gay Already! I mean that’s our gay agenda right?

How about the idea of controlling wealth ratios? Ie, if a corporation can only pay their highest earners a pre-set number of times the wage of the lowest earner. This wouldn’t change anything for the people who are currently billionaires, and it wouldn’t put limits on anyone’s current wealth, but it would ensure that…

Uh, yeah rich people are the enemy of the middle and poor classes. Sure, wealth can be created. Wealth IS being created—in the USA workers are more productive than they’ve ever been. But all that wealth they’re generating is going to the very rich. Workers have seen very little of the gains.

You are on fire and whapping these conservative naysayers in their egocentric foreheads with well-sourced facts and data, and I am so here for it!

Twitler could pardon her though. And ... I would kind of expect him to, I think.

This is beautiful. Thank you for this. I hate that it fucking needs to be said but obviously it does, and you said it with all the rage I feel seething in my chest.

Sounds very well-handled. Kudos and thank you for satisfying my curiosity.

So did you give him the password/reset it so he could get into her account? If not, what did you say to put him off?

Okay but in practice criminalizing lack of disclosure only results in more people avoiding being tested at all.

Wow, that’s an awesome cover. I really like it.

Oh my god.
