Copyright lawyer here. In this case, having the work enter the public domain wouldn’t likely result in “profiteering.” In fact, the reverse would be true. Anyone would be able to do what they wanted with the diary —- give copies away, create derivative works (digital editions, adaptations, plays, musicals, movies,…

Oh, thank fucking God we got Madonna’s take on this.

I worked in health care prior to my stint in food slinging, and while the case for consistent glove use is a lot stronger in medicine, there were some tasks that were made significantly more difficult because of gloves. Anything with tape.......aargh!

Yeah, I mean, if you handle raw meat wearing gloves, and then immediately handle raw vegetables without changing your gloves, those vegetables are going to be just as contaminated as they would be if you did the same thing barehanded (and without washing).

People I’ve worked with seem to think that gloves are some powerful germ-repelling item, like still handling money and things wearing them, or wearing the same pair forever. Handwashing is so much better.

That’s the bottom line for me: if someone’s going to fuck up handwashing, they’re going to fuck up glove use. Mandatory glove laws don’t help anything.

Having had the experience of working both as a bartender and in an operating room, I can tell you with wild certainty that “Improper handwashing can lead to safety concerns—but so can improper glove use” is absolutely accurate. If you don’t do either correctly, it only masks the problem.

And for the times we need to make damn sure the message is clear, “all y’all”.

We have an American you plural, and it’s y’all. Do not fight me on this, it makes sense.

Yeah, plus it didn’t specify all you can eat at one meal, or even in one day, right?

I blame the English language. It’s not Natasha’s fault that “All you can eat” can be singular or plural (and boo to Denny’s for taking advantage of the ambiguity). This wouldn’t have happened in Shakespeare’s day. When the tavern had an “All thou canst eat” special, everybody knew it only meant thee, not thy whole…

SPOILER: there are Chinese people in the Midwest, too. Don’t freak out....but there are also other minorites, too!! *GASP*

I know it may surprise you, but many of the cities and towns are racially diverse neighborhoods . In short, when someone of different race walks through the city, it doesn’t make the local news....

Botto Bistro in San Francisco

Kind of like all the asshole transplants in San Francisco who ridicule and make fun of Chinese people and Chinese restaurants on yelp. The Chinese have more of a right to be in SF than some douchebag Midwesterner.

My husband and I haven’t slept together since our daughter was five. She’s 32 now. Our marriage is still going strong. She finds our sleep choices quite normal.

I can’t wait until my oldest kid goes off to college, because I'm totally shipping my husband over to his room. Separate bedrooms for the win. They’re right across the hall from each other. Sexy times can be followed by a solid night’s sleep. Glorious for everyone. 6 1/2 years left....

I support this. I don’t want my husband’s crap near my things.

I am totally in favor of this. I hate sharing because my husband and I are totally two different sleepers. I like to listen to something while trying to fall asleep, he doesn’t. He likes being close and cuddling, and I don’t even like my feet touching each other. Plus, all the snoring from both of us and the dogs,…

Screw separate beds, let’s talk about totally different wings of a house.
