My spouse was raised by a mom who made him do nothing. Dirty clothes didn’t even have to go into a hamper. My upbringing was the exact opposite having a military dad and a farm raised mom. All this is to say that it took a long time for spouse to even see what needed doing let alone to try doing it. The biggest thing…

I feel like the biggest issue is that there are a lot of chores that need doing, but aren’t exactly things that need doing now- for example vacuuming. When it’s one person living alone it’s “I’m going to vacuum when I have the time and determine that the need for vacuuming is sufficiently high”, so it’s largely a test…

Yes, I’m going to vote for pro-fracking when the alternative is pro-fascism.

Amen to that. My heart goes out to those people who are natural extroverts and to whom isolation is about as good for them as being dragged to a party is for me (I’m not a monster, I understand that for some folks this is literal torture just because of the way their brains are wired)...

“Friends say this move has turned into a nightmare,” the source says. “This is the toughest period they’ve had so far without a No Doubt.”

To me he is always the professor from Sliders. For some reason that crappy show started airing at just the right time in my childhood for it to stick in my mind.

The plant in the shower got me. Give it a week at my house and my boys will pee in it guaranteed.

Instead of handing out candy, every person gets to stuff one kid in their trunk. That’s when “trick or treat” starts to get real.

Pretty sure that was a direct result of being accused of stealing every idea from Michelle Obama. I doubt it the actual plagiarism she cares about, it’s that she gets tired of being compared to someone who brought a million times more class and competence to the office.

If the anti-abortion people were actually about reducing abortions, they would be all for sex ed and access to contraceptives. The fact that they hate those things even more than abortion shows what it’s actually about:

I feel like I should speak up for a (probably small) demographic. I care deeply about abortion rights, and have since I was about 10. BUT I don’t always click on each story for the simple reason that 1. I know it will piss me off and I have a 4yo in lockdown and can’t afford to lose any more patience than I already do…

Yeah, it took about 3 minutes of reading the thread attached to Jemele's tweet to see that it's mostly white Americans reeeeally upset while everyone from the UK is like "um...this is not America, y'all."

it’s....it’s just not a good look all around. just....confounding from head to midriff

It’s that same vibe of the dude who hurts you, and then immediately turns it around about how sorry he is and what an awful person he is, so that you’re supposed to end up comforting him instead.

LW, you know you’re still using your ex, right?

My friends and I were totally sharing this around:

I made sort of an informal new years resolution a few years back to not buy bags of potato chips, since they’d invariably be eaten in 1-2 sittings.  it’s been working out so far.  

“There’s also this inherent fear that what if it changes again, as at that moment treating success implicitly means that gaining weigth would be a failure.”

Body and fitness is something I never know how to speak about, and I mean that from a personal experience, as it always ends up being a wrong way to talk about it. So I’ve had huge weight fluctuations in my life and am at the moment in one of the leanest phases for reasons I honestly don’t comprehend. I’ve worked out…
