When I was giving blood on Friday, I was chatting with the woman who was monitoring me and she said something about Donald Trump has done some good things, and when I asked what, she said he’d built a fence to keep drug dealers out. And then said but they might fly over it.

So I was going to come in here to post something snarky about the royal wedding culture when a primal urge came from within me to slap the phone out of my own hand.

True, and I think a lot of these types of men are specifically drawn to ‘strong, grounded’ women because breaking down an independent woman is more ego-gratifying than controlling someone who is already easily controllable.

I live in Portland, Or.

I’m so sorry about your mom. Speaking from experience (mine died when I was 24), the cloud does lift. The first year is the worst, and expect all “firsts” to be hard; the first Christmas, birthdays (like you’re experiencing now), and the first anniversary is very, very hard, which many people are tripped up by. The…

Harsh, but likely true.

I am a guy. A lot of guys don’t notice that kind of thing. Just let him know you like him and ask for clarification on his feelings towards you.

Thank you! Looking forward to see what goes on in here. Where will you be in the menu bar across the top?

Today is my 47th birthday, and my mom died a month ago tomorrow.

Did we not have a beauty thread tonight?

Final hummingbird update for batch #2. I took this on Thursday and just then the one on the right flew away, right in front of me! It struggled a little, and couldn’t perch the first few times, but it found its way across the driveway and alighted on a tree branch. It was the clumsiest little hummingbird I ever saw.…

Today was the Day of the Ginger. He had no chance.

She doesn’t want to fuck you, she just wants to keep the person(s) trafficking her happy so they don’t hurt her.

Don’t fuck around. See a doc asap.

Just something that came up from one of my friends on Facebook. Hope everyone is doing great

medical student here - please go see a doctor - if you have a primary care doctor see them. if you can see a gastroenterologist directly you could try that too. throwing up all the time to the point where you’re losing weight and not eating is Not Okay.

This week I got to help screen bones from a mastodon fossil pit and tonight I’m seeing the band mastodon. I was told this is a Dad joke, but I think it’s pretty damn cool.

“People wait until they are in agonizing pain before going to a doctor to complain about their back pain.” - they’re doing this because the system is broken. Not because they just can’t get the gumption to treat it before it’s terrible.

omg we might. When my favorite aunt died, I was gave a eulogy. She was a second mom to me and we were very close. I started talking and choked up a bit, as you do, and my sister came running up from the audience and made a big show of “I’ll support you!” I asked her through clenched teeth to sit down but of course she…

I already kinda suspected this when her half-sister who barely knows her was making the rounds about some book with a mean title? (‘Princess Pushy’ or similar, can’t be bothered to google rn.) Family drama is hard enough to navigate gracefully and MM has to do it in the context of A ROYAL WEDDING. Bless her and good…
