I am fiercely pro anything created/popularized by Leslie Knope, so blow me up a Little Sebastian (forever in our hearts) themed Galentines day balloon and point me to the all you can eat Galentines Day waffle bar.

Reconstructionist Jews are basically the Unitarians of Jewish faith. I hear a lot of “why bother” from conservative and reform friends, but I do find where ever we go, it is a really welcoming community.

I feel like this is one of those shows you remember you liked when a season pops up on netflix as “new” and then scroll past to watch something else. I watched the first season and loved some concepts and fight scenes but overall it just wasn’t gripping enough or enjoyable enough to spend the time on.

I have no idea why you would get to demand people be non-hostile to a question that has been frankly asked and answered to death. It’s not in people to educate you in a gentle way. That being said; people are thrilled with colorblind casting because it gives often marginalized or ignored talent a chance at being seen,…

I think people still hire her for stuff on the regular? Either that or I fever dreamed the fact that she just hosted a major networks New Years Eve countdown. (Not out of the question) 

Just when you think Louis CK can’t get any more disgusting, you remember the barrel is so deep and he hasn’t even started scraping yet.

The military is way too big to be “mostly” anything. Certain units or duty stations may be more hegemonic but because the military pulls in such a diverse group of people it’s always going to be a wide range of political and social opinions. Except for the guy from Texas he’s always going to get drunk and say the N…

I have mostly resigned myself to not enjoying whatever is currently the hot “ladies” book of the moment, but based on descriptions I thought I Igor give this one a try. It was punishing and I gave up. I do not have time for that many words that I don’t enjoy.

My first hand knowledge is admittedly 10 years out of date but most people in Burma (Myanmar is a name the Junta insisted people use, it isn’t what people who live there choose to call it) even those in cities don’t have access to electricity 24 hours a day let alone freedom of information. The internet was heavily…

The government still censors the internet and douchey tech bros and tourist looking to find themselves will never ever get to see the part of the country where genocide is underway. They are not helping.

I’ve been to Burma (Myanmar) and the tourism industry there is nascent. Until recently the repressive military junta that ran the country actively discouraged tourism and contact with foreigners. 

I tend to think that anyone who thinks their pain at being mocked on the internet with some vicious “you’re an idiot memes” is equal to that of people who’ve suffered generations of systemic abuse is probably an insufferable racist.

Why is Bob’s Burgers the only outlet willing to expose the coruot underbelly of turkey pardoning?

Victoria’s Secret was so “cool” when I was first buying bras, (clearly I was super cool bra shopping with my mom) I would not accept anything less. Thanks to them I spent my teen years in uncomfortable nightmare bras. They weren’t even the sexy ones, just boring and poorly designed. Recent walks by their retail space…

Mazel to both of you for shrugging it off and moving forward! It’s definitely an “oh shit” moment when you realize you movie of choice is causing very disparate emotional reactions.

I had a weird personal experience with this. While out to dinner with a pair of longtime friends one mentioned that we never get to see non-kids movies and she’d been wanting to see A Star is Born. I have seen every version of it made and neither hate nor love it so when our third enthusiastically agreed, off we went.…

I imagine the person may be referencing the time when she 22 people were the victim of a terrorist attack in her presence? Having an ex you left so as not to be pulled under while the drowned in addiction/depression die and then being blamed for that death would be hard enough. Coupling it with other very traumatic…

The police made sure to have a presence at our temple today while the kids had Hebrew school and I just didn’t know if I would ever stop crying. Practicing your religion openly shouldn’t need to be an act of bravery, but for our community (and many other religious communities) it is right now. I recognize our inherent…

When we lived in Texas there was always security on High Holidays. Saturday wasn’t a holiday though, and small communities can’t employ a guard 24/7.

I would/will watch the heck out of that.
