Yeah, I mean, look life has risks. That’s the sad reality. We can’t control for every risk. We have to decide for ourselves if we’re willing to take on the risk or not. 

I know a lot of people who drive for uber/lyft because they want some extra money to spend on fun things, not necessarily because they need it. I don’t want to make assumptions for this person. My friend’s husband is a stay at home dad and drives for uber basically so he has some money budgeted for going out and…

That will mean a TON of innocent people can’t or won’t use it. Minor felonies and undocumented immigrants for instance. Plus, how are they doing the check? What about people who are travelling abroad? If they do a check in the US but are requesting a lyft in Spain, is lyft supposed to check with the Spanish…

I’m definitely feeling better in that sense too, I’ve lost only a couple pounds (I had a UTI last week that required me to go to an urgent care facility and they weighted me). But I am counting down the days before I can reintroduce bread and cheese. Fuck it, I’ll give up drinking if I have to.

I mean, I don’t have kids, but I SEE the difference in people, especially people who have kids vs. those who don’t, and people who had kids later in life (tend to look better) vs. those who had them younger. The stuff she’s talking about doing IS making a difference, but it’s not one any of us are seeing right now.…

Also, lots of musicians will do a children’s album and actually tour and perform for children and it’s totally cool. They Might Be Giants have some awesome children’s songs. Also, Bare Naked Ladies, oddly enough, perform for children under that same name. But Michael Jackson didn’t do that either. At best he was…

1 banana, 2 eggs, blend (I use my immersion blender), I can’t remember how much cinnamon, I usually just eyeball it. Fry it up in some coconut oil, the trick here, I’ve found is to use a rubber spatula (like for mixing) rather than a regular spatula for flipping. 

There certainly are adults who have an emotional connection with children, sometimes more so than they do with adults. Mr. Rodgers was definitely someone who connected emotionally with children, probably in part as a way of healing his own inner child. But like, he didn’t shower kids with gifts, he didn’t pick out…

I’ve been enjoying it, despite my desire for cheese. I found a really great recipe for dairy free, grain free pancakes that are just banana, eggs, and cinnamon. That topped with coconut cream and some almond butter makes for a good dessert substitute too!

Possible. I feel like I’ve always eaten a lot of fruits and veggies, but it’s probably impossible to do Whole30 without increasing that more. I’ve also started drinking more water. 

Question: Why is Emily Blunt considered the Supporting Actress in that movie? I would have thought she’d be considered the lead actress.

Honestly, a large part of it is also being young and not having kids.

I’m probably going to transition to the same dairy is a treat mentality. I am almost done with Whole30, I cannot believe I’ve gone almost a month without cheese. Apparently cheese is very very addictive, as indicated in part my constant dreams of…

I think I have been able to get false lashes on like twice in my life. I’ve officially given up. I don’t know if it’s eye shape, or the glue, or whatnot, but it does not work.

That is entirely not true. I’ve been through a number of shutdowns now in DC, both as a furloughed and essential worker, and a number of my friends are contractors who have been the same. If you were required to show up to work you MUST get paid. If you were a contractor, you were, in fact, paid on time because your…

From the trailer, he seems to really have captured Bundy’s charm that he had in interviews and such. 

I do wonder like, surely the president doesn’t just get blanket powers to declare a national emergency because congress doesn’t vote to give him his toy. But you know, maybe he can. 

They’re not devoting time to it because ohhh the rest of the country IS SHUT DOWN. I feel like that’s a bigger story. 

Frankly, giving furloughed workers the ability to get paid and back pay for three weeks is worth having Trump give a SOTU. I don’t even mind. 

Wow I’m jealous. 

I will say, it gives me great joy to remember that no one escapes the inevitability of death, not even Trump. I think about the fact that he will die, one day, often. I just hope I live to see it.
