Dude, if your life can’t be explained using metaphors about lions, what are you even doing

I’ve had my hair searched every time the last couple of years, even when I flat ironed it. But TSA’s favorite seems to be when I wore a drawstring ponytail, which is actually a really great way to travel otherwise, they got all up in that since it takes at least four pins. So then I’d spend my time at the gate redoing…

Obama’s really firing on all cylinders this week. GOOD

but I’m not trying to change my race, I just love how that looks. long hair can be a beast to tame.

I think we’re all waiting, crouching like gay lionesses, for the first homophobic gazelle to trot across the sacred grounds.

A friend of my stepdad’s actually got in major, major trouble for this at his workplace. It was completely consensual, but someone else alerted management about the “office husband/office wife” thing they had going on, they didn’t have sex but it was definitely going too far. I think part of it was because the woman…

What if the crusher is the one who’s taken, and the crushee is single but would totally hit that if they weren’t with someone else? Do you just keep being friends and pretend it’s not weird? Are you nice to their wife, or is being overly nice a red flag? Assuming it’s an unavoidable person, like at work. Asking for a…

It’s so much funnier when you can really openly see their jealousy of women. Sirs, you would not last a day in my pumps.

People either use it or they don’t, and those who do don’t use it in public or in mixed company. It’s one thing to vent to your friend about “my boss is being such a cunt about X”, but if you call someone that to their face, it’s the female equivalent of the n-word.

I need someone to replicate Chioma’s hairstyle on me.

Ronan Farrow maybe?

At least from what floats around the internet, it seems that she’s only dated women since being in the spotlight. Not that it matters in terms of what a huge publication assumes about her sexuality, using the bisexual label seems more like grasping at straws for Vogue and her fancy pants family that IF SHE’D JUST MEET…

Y’all need to get on the southern train, even if your temps don’t climb quite as high — it’s illegal to not have AC in buildings like schools, and it’s a huge liability for apartment complexes and dorms too. In addition to student comfort and safety, it slightly stifles the spread of germs since the atmosphere isn’t…

I’ve never had an issue with the produce at mine, but then again the produce at Food Lion makes anything look good. It’s so easy to get local eggs where I live, although the dairy can be hit or miss since raw milk is the only thing I won’t have access to when I move. The CSAs here kind of suck to be frank, maybe there…

Agreed. I had to look twice at “bralettes”. I have a bralette and it would not be appropriate to wear in public, regardless of your age, because it’s A BRA. I’m on team uniform — let them wear what they want on their own time, but if girls came into my classroom in short shorts and a tank top, I made them go back to…

UGH THE WORD TUMMY IS LIKE NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD MAKE IT DIE.

Yeah, the one I used to go to did as well. The prepackaged stuff is really where they get you, too. But it’s so damn tempting, and their alfredo sauce is so good.

Color me shocked. I’m fine with paying a little extra so they can do right by their employees, but it was around 2010-2011 that I started feeling gouged and phased out of shopping there. Trader Joe’s manages to keep it affordable AND not shank their employees in the process so clearly it can be done. Now, I’ll still…

He and his brother are ragdoll/Siamese mixes, and Magnus came out all ragdoll while Pistach came out all Siamese — he’s definitely a meezer. He’s so mean, although it’s improved since he’s come back into my care (old roommate had him for years before she found out she was expecting). But he’s not antisocial, he just…
