An ex and I must stress this ex, got angry with me because I used an eggbeater to make meringue because his mother had always used a fork to beat her eggs. Therefore, I was lazy. He also grew up with a well and drawing buckets of water and saw showers as decadent luxuries. It’s a very strange mindset.

You can also just pour in water from a bucket or basin from a great hight. Can take a few attempts but *that* might actually be a useful “lesson” to teach a child for if they ever don’t have a plunger, do a massive poo or try to flush something silly (this trick brought to you by the time by flatmate inexplicably…

Besides being racist, and, you know, stupid, this also counterproductive. Ever ask a 5 year old to clean anything? How good of a job did they do? For fuck sakes...

Not only is this ethically wrong, it’s dangerous, especially in a pandemic but even just from a general health and safety perspective. Any teacher doing this nonsense should be immediately fired. Their attitude toward children is clearly a problem, whether or not race had anything to do with it (let’s be frank, at the…

she stated to the principal that she was trying to teach how not to stop up the toilet

The racist teachers that I used to work with in high-poverty schools (like the whole school got free lunch) used to like to justify their shitty treatment of kids by saying that the kids needed to learn that “life was hard.” these were children living in poverty who could not read or add. The only thing we didn’t…

What da fuq? Does this school not have a janitor? Even if they didn’t have a janitor, then this is still a task that an adult carries out. Fucking outrageous stupidity, and assholery above and beyond. I have no words.

And it is seldom remembered that the palace (ie: the queen) took away Diana’s HRH status, and thus much of her security detail, in what can only be described as petty and mean-spirited. Diana took up with a man far wealthier than her former husband probably believing she’d be protected by all that wealth. Instead she…

This dude really thought he had a chance with Meghan Markle? Way to bury the lede lmao

No but only because he was the villain long before he was rejected lol

Is this a real life case of someone becoming a villain because the girl turned him down for prom?

THIS IS THE CONTENT I AM HERE FOR. thank you

After realizing that my local CBS wasn’t airing the interview I panic-signed-up for “Paramount Plus” whatever tf that is, and I thought the interview was good TV, A+ would make a reminder to cancel free trial again. Oprah is an unparalleled interviewer. I also enjoyed yelling at my husband to shut up when he came in…

Point 3 doesn’t come up enough. British “freedom” of speech isn’t close to ours. If this group of websites were in the UK, they would have been sued out of existence by J.K. Rowling.

She’s a good girl but also a bad bad girl.

Frankie (right), a beautiful creature who I will never forgive for eating a slice of bread pudding thatI JUST BOUGHT in one gulp a few months ago.

Adding to the fairytale mysticism mentioned in this article, it chilled me when Harry said that he was living off the inheritance his mother left him, that without it his and Meghan’s move would not have been possible. He then said, “She knew.”

Esther’s Frankie? Or my Frankie? Or, will any old Frankfurter do? Perhaps a kitten named Poundcake, too?

I posted this on another comment but am reposting here because it’s perhaps more relevant here:
