I truly hope that this is because now that the FDA has passed the vaccine they are anticipating more mandates for the unvaccinated to get vaccinated and don’t want to be empty handed when that happens. Buuuuut....I have a feeling it’s more just interorganizational politics + the delusional wishful thinking we…

Thank you. This could not be more true and sadly, the ‘shucks guys, we tried but look over there!’  act works so well to distract us all from that fact.

Did I miss throughout the season there being confirmation of Paula’s class?

Think it’s umbel flowers, not umbrel. One of the old names for the Apiaceae family is Umbelliferae.

It’s also interesting (and crazy...man I’m getting old) to think about how someone born in 1945 was 40 in 1985. As an early 80s child I am nostalgically attracted to, and feel familiar with, a tone and stylistic lexicon from my childhood. Judging by the success of Stranger Things and all the 80s-esque shows, it hits a…

This article makes me so sad. Capitalism, man. It’s insane the increasing ways we’re being asked to twist and contort ourselves and how the blame keeps falling on the individual (what, you’re not meditating?! Try a positive affirmation! Self-care!) when they inevitably can’t keep it all in the air in the face of some…

She wouldn’t even need to act crazy for no one to believe she’s a stable person!

Sometimes you only need to keep one of your legs warm :)

Me too! Last dog sweater I put the leg holes off the back and I’ve been knitting for way longer...

That is impressive for someone who’s only been knitting for a year and some! 

Not gonna lie, this all still vibes as less real relationship and more brilliant PR moves to distract from JLo getting cheated on and...pretty much most things Ben has done.

Oh man, that would be such great casting. He’d make a fantastic Monk.

Awww, Aristophanes would be proud! As much as I have affection for the Middle Liddell it was time.

I agree and by no means am minimizing the damage done by a pejorative. I guess what I’m trying to get at is that if someone uses a pejorative, there’s *sometimes* a chance that person can grow and recognize the damage done, feel healthy guilt, and change. Sometimes it’s learned behavior, fear, ignorance and not solely…

I do believe, with hard work and honest reckoning, people can grow out of the ignorance, fear, and projection that leads them to be racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, sexist. Basically all the isms.

I am thrilled about this. But. It also sucks that normalizing non-mask wearing again (for vaccinated peoples) also means that defiant non-vaccinated peoples get to walk around without masks and be given the benefit of the doubt that they’re vaccinated and trusted by the majority of the population. Which they obviously…

First Season: SO good.

This is amazing.

Eh, think I’d not really be down with people posting pics of me from high school without my consent, being that I was a super awkward teen and all. People have complicated relationships with their high school selves and what might look like a perfectly nice photo to an outsider might trigger a lot of painful feelings…

I 100% believe Dylan and that Allen assaulted her. Watching him made my skin crawl. Watching A v F was also tougher than I expected on another front, as something did feel off to me about Mia and I realized  I went in wanting it to be a simple “good people vs bad people” narrative. I very much recognize there are no…
