Exactly. Make it so.

I love this question. A student last year in one of my courses tried to write about American culture and its love of extreme diets...she couldn’t quite get to the seam, but it’s an idea I’ve been thinking about ever since, especially as my brother went paleo. Wow, he only talked about food for almost a year. And it…

My fault, it’s actually called avocado baby and in the book, they refer to the avocado pear.

There’s a delightful children’s book called the avocado pear. And I could never tell from the illustrations if it was an avocado or a pear

Palm oil and cattle are main drivers behind deforestation in the Amazon region, too, if we’re racking up things to avoid or want to really revel in our guilt. I used to eat the hell out of some Newman’s own choc chip cookies until I learned about the palm oil situation.

She’s too young to severely dislike... She’s still shape shifting and finding her identity. That process is always messy. Have some mercy.

They weren’t really though. PAs interviewed them in line, often pretending to be audience members.

It can be true that it is a better time to be trans and also still lonely and scary. As of 2013, trans women were more likely to experience domestic abuse, for example, and murders classified as hate murders were overwhelmingly of trans women of color (over 70%) They’re also more likely to experience police violence…

She does a lot of masks. Like one every other day. It’s nuts and yet, yes she glows.

“I managed to overcome it” is my favorite, though

It’s more embarassing when you have kids and cry at all the animated films. I sobbed in The Book of Life. My face. So slick with tears. And I was murmurming about just how beautiful life really, really is. FWIW, I am normally stone hearted. Do not cry at books or the non-animated...

Noy related, but...I just read Jane Smiley’s Last 100 Years trilogy where one of the characters in the last book is Menominee!

2 years is definitely a sign that something is intrinsically off in the marriage. I’m so sorry. It sounds like you do not have a partner, but a really annoying roommate. If you’ve brought up the issues before and haven’t seen the work from him, it’s totally appropriate to say you want a divorce. What if he asks for…

First, is just really normal, so as long as you can keep it low key and keep checking in with him, you’re doing the right thing. My mother in law told me her daughter would just ask for a diaper when she needed to poop for awhile. It helped her transition, and she was still listening to cues. There are probably lots…

I was done with him b/c of his pained expression in all the T-Swifleton pics but then you posted this and decided, why be so hasty?

Law and Order too. One night, I saw three future cast members of the Wire in one episode, and it was like my version of BINGO.

Siriano’s Grace Jones-esque look for Jennifer Hudson for the BET awards Prince tribute was so great. L Jones also knows how to dress her body and I love her just-enough edginess. I think they could make a good team

It would only be genetic if SHE was the twin, since the tenancy to drop two eggs at once is what leads to fraternal twins.
