The lengths this woman is going to, to avoid apologizing to her Black coworkers.

I am in love with this phrase, and also incredibly depressed at how many people in this world it applies to, women as well as men.

I would happily listen to Daveed Diggs read from the dictionary.

I wonder if some of it is that their looks were in some ways more natural? By which I mean, yes, models in the 80s and 90s were getting plastic surgery, but not as much and they didn’t talk about it as openly?

I was the right age to see Space Jam as a kid but never did, so the only Lola Bunny iteration I was familiar with was from Baby Looney Toons. I was a little horrified that people were sexualizing a diaper-wearing baby rabbit before I figured out my mistake.

For sure the Russian side was opposed to the marriage, and Nicholas was not Victoria’s first choice for Alix, but had she not given at least reluctant approval I doubt it would have happened. Alix was her favorite granddaughter, and she’d had a hand in raising her after Alice died, so her influence was greater than it…

It’s crazy not just how much intermarrying the royal houses of Europe did for most of their tenures, but how much Queen Victoria and her children specifically link so many. The claim has been made—and there’s some truth to it, I think—that she contributed to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty by marrying her…

I’m most confused by those socks, tbh.

Give them Alabama, deport them there, let them have their own “country” where everyone gets to carry guns and riot all they like amongst themselves. The problem will take care of itself.

I remember being a child in a not-very-religious household during this time, catching a snippet of a concert of hers on TV, and thinking that pop-Christian music was (or ought to be) highly sacrilegious because it was written by contemporary human beings. I don’t know who I thought wrote the hymns in church hymnals. I…

Kerrygold is mildly cultured, if I remember correctly, like most European butter, so it has a different flavor profile than North American butter. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Canadian butter is superior to ours.

I thought it was common knowledge that Drew Barrymore was committed as a kid? She got so wild for a while that even Cher wouldn’t let her kid associate with her. It was completely the fault of the adults around her, and I’ve always been so glad to see she was able to turn her life around and seems to be both happy and…

Make Manchin support his family on $11/hr for a year, without any other income or savings, and see what he says then.

This. I have problems with line-jumpers, but not with this. They’re not taking someone else’s dose, they’re taking a dose that would otherwise go to waste.

This. It all comes down to this. Trump’s team doesn’t have to do shit, because they won this before it ever started and everyone knows it. They could be up there making fart noises at the CSPAN cameras and it wouldn’t make a difference.

I am extremely happy for her, though I have to admit I fully expected her to lose no matter how morally right she was. All the previous rulings that I can remember weren’t going her way, so I’m very happily surprised and happy to be proved wrong.

My very favorite rundown of the Dyatlov Pass Incident was from Caitlin Doughty of Ask A Mortician:

I thru-hiked the PCT, and as I said upthread, it’s a mindfuck. I think people just aren’t prepared for how completely the change of pace and distance affects the mind. I got lost in a freak snowstorm on Mt. San Jacinto for three days, and the most maddening part was that I could fucking SEE Palm Springs the whole time…

I thru-hiked the PCT 10 years ago. Not as difficult as I’d feared physically, but a complete mindfuck for multiple reasons. I always enthusiastically am behind anyone attempting a long distance hike!
