What do you see as fundamentally unhealthy about their relationship? (I’m genuinely curious, not snarking. And for the record, I like the pairing but it’s not my make-or-break.) “Fundamentally” implies something at the core that can never be changed. I would certainly apply that to their high school relationship. Now,…

As a high school English teacher, your comment made me gasp and stifle a gleeful squeal. I needed that this morning. Thanks!

It technically doesn’t answer the question of if she wants Neptune, but with Logan, Neptune is a package deal. Which means she’s also finally made her choice on that front too, for better or worse.

I was in Texas last week, so I decided to give ‘em a whirl. I drove up to the menu with an open mind, only to discover that they don’t have mayonnaise. What the hell?

On a similar note, a friend pointed out that the Big Little Lies moms are totally anti-vaxxers.

I want to smother the first person who cane up with”I’m just sayin’....”

My mother’s family is from Mississippi, and my father’s is from north Texas (mainly around Gainesville, going back four generations.) Whether or not it’s actually true, many people believe they have Native American ancestry. Hell, my mom did the whole “Great-grandma was a Cherokee princess!” thing so common among…

Between this and Fleabag, I’m kinda loving the Gelmanaissance.

Perhaps not near you, but my apartments here in Smyrna have a lot of recent immigrants from India, and they have nightly cricket practice on the tennis court. I’ve heard friends from other parts of town say the same. Maybe not enough cricket fans for a whole “stadium”, but it’s not completely unknown.

I think maybe the problem is the lack of bangs? Cut a fringe, and that hairstyle would definitely be mid-’80s.

Ain’t nobody better tell him nuthin’!

No lie: I read this tweet with my phone in one hand as the other opened the fridge for a Diet Dr. Pepper. 

OT, but last fall, O’Malley came to an Atlanta campaign open house for Lucy McBath. Said that since he was out of office, he was spending all his time trying to get Democrats elected. Seemed like a good guy.

Because if he loses the Senate a second time, his career is toast.

Same with making fun of Trump’s weight, which I often see here and elsewhere. Tons of other ways to mock the asshole without showing overweight people what you really think of us. 

Also, Kitchener stitch (which I just finished doing for a hoodie I’m almost done with, yay!) was originally created as a way for soldiers to easily mend socks during WWI. http://knithistory.academicblogs.co.uk/the-kitchener-stitch-knitting-in-wartime-study-day/

Love that! Can I share it on FB, with credit and/or a link to your Kinja or Ravelry username?

I’ve been on Ravelry for ten years. Their discussion boards are huge. The boards on the main page are yarn-related, but that’s maybe only half the content. They have huge groups about pretty much any topic imaginable. (I haven’t been to the boards in a while, but I used to be in groups for favorite novels, Stacey…

Where my stitches at!? I’ve been on Ravelry since 2007, and I’m not at all surprised. Jess and Casey are damn good site owners and good people, period, particularly for how they’ve kept it real — or, uh, kept it natural fiber? — and never sold out to Big Yarn.

Ah, the good old days of Fandom_Wank. I only read the stories about Cassie Claire, not anything she wrote, but she definitely seemed like a mess. That said, I agree that Kenyon’s lawsuit sounds baseless and was probably spurred by jealousy of a new, young writer encroaching on her turf (which was on the way out by…
