My ex-husband lost his high end graphic design job and lived on credit cards rather than take a job not in his field. For a long time, at least. He eventually sucked it up and did a "make money" job while looking for another design job. Mostly, I think, because the high end resumes/portfolios he was making and sending

I think that's just the reason I like Tim Minchin and Mike Birbiglia so much. They (and others) are clever and funny without being cliche or insulting to insult. Well, Minchin isn't fond of religion but even there he's typically very smart and witty, not just shocking to be a dick. I've seen both live and, really,

Totally. I found myself thinking "THIS is how it should be, everywhere." I'm just an ally, so I know my reactions aren't the most important since I don't have a personal dog in the fight, but marriage equality and gay rights is one of the things that can get me completely and utterly riled up. When MN made it legal

Oh god, I love that one. I can't even think of it without getting a bit verklempt.

Oh god. Best. NOPE. gif. Ever.

Oh god, those faces! I just want to reach in and give them scritches. That little minky dumbo eared fella with the milk 'stach! GAH. Dead from cute.

Haha. Oh good, someone else said it first! At least it's not Comic Sans or Curlz. *shudder* Really, given some of the appalling rubbish I've seen non-designers make, this is really not bad. I'd tweak the hell of the spacing and text layout, because I'm pedantic and one of THOSE people, but for a (likely) non-artist he

Oh, people are total assholes about Stephen King, too. Folks who don't read him seem to enjoy sneering about how he's pulp and just genre. Idiots. I do agree that smut likely brings on even more of the judgies. I've got no issues with smut, personally. I'm allergic to poor writing when it has no redeeming qualities,

Yeah, I think a lot of men think cellulite and imagine really blatantly obvious texturing/pocking, when a lot of cellulite is pretty subtle or in small, specific areas. I think that by talking about how it's so super prevalent, we make it less a flaw that we as women must "fix" and more just at thing that happens to

90% is pretty dang high a percentage, though. You're in good company! And, really, how many of those women you think have absolutely NO cellulite have you seen totally naked? My old roommate had a to die for figure. Amazing abs, fit and thin but curvy. She has cellulite. I know because we both weren't shy about

*Crying from LOL*

And I'm so sorry if this reads harsher than I meant it. I admit fully to being triggered and thus a bit out of sorts. I just hate this stupid ED brain stuff I've got and how hard it is. I hate that other folks deal with it. I hate that any other human, ever, feels this way.

Yeah. :c I'm a normal weight and I eat, I just hate myself for eating or punch myself in the face/gut/whatever to hurt myself for eating. I'm ED/NOS, officially. On the restriction side, when it's in full flare. Exercise bulimia pretty common, too.

I'm sure you mean very well, but this reads a lot like "will yourself out of your eating disorder/mental health problems like I did!" Especially with the mention of not "allowing" cheats. Moving from binge eating towards food restriction is NOT the answer for a lot of people. Especially those diagnosed with binge

I get plain unsweetened Whole Soy (or I WILL once they go back into production. SOB.) and add my own stevia to sweeten. I love that shit with partially thawed sweet cherries. Also fantastic with muesli and defrosted raspberries. Something about previously or mostly frozen fruit and yogurt is my jam.

Bless you. I do paintings for friends of their animals as gifts all the time. They usually cry and then hug me and can't stop looking at them and then run to show them off to everyone. I was feeling REALLY awkward reading things about how going off registry is bad and how folks overestimate their abilities, etc. I

Now playing

WAIT WHAT? You got to meet Felicia Day?! Oh god, I die. I DIE. breathe Okay. I'm back.
Seriously though! AHHH.

Doctor Who, Supernatural, Buffy, Stargate (SG1/SGA).

OH GOD THIS GIF IS GLORIOUS.

Haha. Yeah, I haven't had one actually fall off yet (knock wood), mine just tend to go all black and then the new nail grows up underneath, so I can just trim the black nail away as the new one grows. I'm scared that one day one will just pop off! They do grow back, though! It seems to take a long time. It always
