This makes no sense. What animal on god’s green earth is better at sleeping than a house cat? None. Plus, they clean themselves. Dogs are gross, they make weird noises in their sleep, and if they wake up, they need you. A cat doesn’t need you. If a cat wakes up it just goes and plays by itself (I know, not always, but…

Every time I hear him talk, I think “those are all words, yes, but they don’t really mean anything in that particular grouping.”

*cred, obviously. Can’t edit for some reason.

Last I heard it was speculated they were still together but not certain. I’ve been a little behind on my celeb gossip lately so you could be right!

Joshua Kushner dated Karlie Kloss for a long time, so he’s definitely got more cool society red than Jared and Ivanka.

Seriously? I don’t even have time to explain all the ways in which this is fucked up, but here are the first few that come to mind. 1) The real story here is that the president is using racial slurs. 2) Those tests are inaccurate and unreliable. 3) This “prove your heritage” thing (not a far step from the Obama…

The elder stateswomen of the Oscars always turn out, but other than them, Phoebe Waller Bridge’s gown is the only thing keeping me awake right now, and only barely.

When I hit my depression and exhaustion peak about a year ago I found that programs like Blue Apron really helped. It’s not cheap, but it is reasonable. It made the idea of cooking something easier because I didn’t have to plan it or go to the grocery store or anything.

Sherman Alexie is a decently empathetic writer, but he comes across as a total dick in person. I’ve met him several times at author events and I’ve always walked away thinking, ‘damn, what a talented, hilarious asshole.’

Not sure what your situation is like, but I’ve worked in schools with older students at lower reading levels (say 8th-12th graders reading at a 5th or 6th grade level) and this book was really nice for them. It didn’t feel too babyish for them.

I literally cannot tell what that baby looks like.

I cannot believe we are in a place as a country where militarizing schools is seen as legitimate argument. “We need to harden our schools.” What. The. Fuck.

I get that, but I think not letting her in is a bit much. Maybe they could have just said, hey, call first next time because this isn’t usually OK. Even then, I’m not really having it. Where’s the line? Can she wear a corset and hang out in the costume exhibit? Do they have a policy around this? I know slippery slope…

Librarians and historians sound like who I definitely want to hang out with. I could see myself getting into this. Insta rabbit hole, here I come!

I made a rice and veggie bowl inspired by one I saw on The First Mess with ginger-miso gravy and it was the bomb. Going to make a whole bunch more tomorrow to eat throughout the week!

Into it! I am perma-gray but I love reading and talking about reading. I’d love to be included if you get this going :)

I love love love Rocannon’s World! It is such a sweet little book, and Semley’s Necklace is a great story. That book really stayed with me. It’s a great story, but it’s told in such a gentle fashion. I love Ursula LeGuin and am down to chat about any of her books any time.

I agree! The only thing impressive about The Ordinary is the price point, and even then, you’re getting cheap crap. Good inexpensive skincare exists, but not THAT inexpensive, claiming to be THAT good.

My parents just raised a glass at my wedding and said “cheers!” It was pretty perfect.

I have three English related MA degrees and had never read Shakespeare until I became a high school English teacher and had to teach his plays. It was my secret shame for so long!
