NO. Pillows are the glue that holds blanket forts together.

I wish we could start a “Celebrity Education Foundation” in which we teach celebs the difference between science and pseudoscience. They have such good intentions but are easily misled by fringe operators, who target them on purpose because they know they have an audience.

Wait, why? I’ve been thinking about moving my money into some sort of “ethical” mutual fund. I understand that an amateur investor shouldn’t try to pick individual stocks, but is there no benefit (to the world, not to me) in investing in, say, a clean energy mutual fund? Especially if it performs similar to regular…

Yes, or “This is my wife Melania, believe me!” “Believe me” is his tag for every lie.

Imagine there’s no dog breeds/ It’s easy if you try/ No brachycephaly, no dysplasia/ No more proptotic eyes....

I can think of some rescue groups that verge on hoarders and are understaffed, underfunded, overstocked, etc., but they’re certainly not making a lot of money. I’ve never known a rescue group that didn’t require spay/neuter, either, so I’ve never heard of a rescue group being a de facto puppy mill. I’d certainly…

Yay you! I’ve done that before, and I wondered if I was the only one. Especially since CL now just “hides” the “offensive” ads from me once I flag them. I’m not sure if flagging has any effect... do you know how it all works?

That’s a great idea!!!

I blame the labradoodles at doggy day camp for my knee problems! And the pure labs. Skulls of titanium, and they don’t watch where they’re going!

You must not be very committed to the idea of rescuing a homeless dog in lieu of supporting the breeding industry, then. If you were passionate about it, you would make the extra effort to find an appropriate[ly inactive?] dog to adopt, even if it means crossing state lines or contacting breed rescues online. It’s…

I’ve seen a lot of scorn for eco-friendly stuff among jezzies in favor of luxury, brand loyalty, or mainstream acceptability. Eco stuff is uncool. In particular, “organic” gets a bad rap, being equated with trendy/hipster/white nonsense/millennials. There seems to be a general lack of understanding here about why…

By the looks of her audience, yes, she has abandoned color altogether.

Yes to recycled paper towels! Go truly radical and get the unbleached ones! Amazingly, they still work even though they’re not white! Also, highly unpopular opinion, but recycled-content toilet paper also works just fine, and it doesn’t dissolve into white fluff that drops all over your black pants and blouse when you…

Pfft. I’ve seen “Gray’s Anatomy.” There’s a daycare at the top of every hospital where you can drop your kids off after you give birth to them, so they really don’t interfere with your personal or professional life at all! You can practically forget you had them!

To quote Alannis Morrisette, “Thank you India!”

Oh, is that Ivanka’s new book? ;-)

Your critical self-reflection kinda only proves my point, though. And your sensitivity to negative feedback. If I could, I’d give you some sort of talisman to protect you from any meanies when you log on in the mornings!

Honestly, I wish I could find some sociologist who studies the psychology behind racism and tell them all my stories. I lived with a very vocal racist until I left for college, and then, years later, I started asking him pointed questions and probing his mind whenever he said racist stuff. I feel like I have something…

Thank you. If I lived in Missouri, I’d be tempted to just follow every POC that I meet and videotape their every move with my cell phone just in case they get messed with. Not sure that would make them feel comfortable either! Maybe we should fund a bodycam project for citizens instead of policemen.

Except you, jinni. I’m not a frequent commenter, but I’ve lurked on Jez for many years, and you *always* write with wisdom and kindness. Many’s the time I wish I knew you personally, and that’s not something I think often... maybe for goddessoftransitory, maybe also veggietart, drugstoreglasses... can’t think of…
