The few Penneys near me are such difficult places to shop: dim lighting, no clear differentiation between categories of clothing, overstuffed racks, and a big ol’ Sephora outpost plunked down in the middle. I’d see a few cute things in an ad and head over to the store and never find those items. Before the Bay Area…

Hmm, Ahab as BMOC is really a different take on his character. I need that duvet cover, however.

Smoking on the set? WTF? I love GU and am glad she’s calling out the casual racism and sexism that privileged white dudes get away with on the regular, not to mention the fucking stone cold narcissism of knowingly breaking a law and not giving a rat’s ass about other people.

I just keep recalling the principle that was drilled into us in high school civics class and in college Poli Sci 101 of “self interest rightly understood,” coined by Alexis de Tocqueville, that was the basis of why American democracy could function. That concept has sure gone down the drain, along with people’s…

So many pieces fall into place. Going to huddle in the corner and rock now.

Right? Geography involves a fucking huge amount of data processing.

...while Vice President Mike Pence awkwardly stood at his side.

Billy has been posting home workouts to YouTube during SIP. Gotta love the man’s energy!

I also started playing Pocket Camp a couple of weeks ago and it’s definitely not something I would have continued with under normal circumstances, but there are some truly delightful moments, like seeing Muffy doing 180s on my half pipe. I described the basic gameplay to a therapist friend, how you basically buy…

Was coming here to say this.

Can anyone explain why there are dollar bills scattered around the Mr. John sign in the window?

Omg, I was just thinking about this book the other day. I bought it soon after it came out because my mother wasn’t big on cleaning and never really taught me techniques. Mendelson’s judgy tone and the sheer size of the thing filled me with anxiety and dread however and I gave it away pretty quickly. Unfuck Your…

Excellent.

You as well! Deep breaths.

That’s a Very Good Dog.

Yeah, my tv news consumption has gone way down to just some headlines and weather, and mostly just to keep my morning routine fairly normal. I’m on the internet all day for work anyway, so am avoiding news sites and only check social media a few times a day. I figure if anything urgent happens, the police will text…

Yes, the showering and/or toilet thing is a recurring anxiety theme for me, but I’ve only had a mild adjacent version of it since lockdown began. I also tend to dream about not being able to catch a plane on time. Clutter dreams would make me very upset as well.

You just need the bonkers tablescape to make it complete!

Thanks! I will check it out. Just signed up for their newsletter because I am also listening to The Feather Thief on audio and they have one of the better articles about it with photos.

I said it before on another thread about Tiger King that people who are interested in a more balanced take on this whole thing should listen to the Over My Dead Body podcast series. Not only do they offer some different information on Carole and Don, but they also reveal a lot more of the horrific abuse of animals by…
