“although in retrospect maybe he was just British”

The Everlane Weekender is the most amazing bag. It is SO spacious, pretty easy to carry, comes in non-obnoxious colors, and fits everywhere (even on the two/one seaters).

Ha! Fair point. I’d become a fundamentalist for Jessa’s waves/volume, but you’re right... other Duggars are less fortunate.

I have to say, I agree with Mama June, to a point. If TLC gives the pretty, nice-haired, God-fearin’, Jesus-forgave-me family a pass on some truly heinous, tragic abuse.... after they canceled the crass, weird-looking, big ol’ hick clan for the same kind of shit? That is a gross double standard.

I’m sure this is also stated down-thread, but, just to clarify: the AVERAGE monthly SNAP benefit for a family of three is about $367 (the maximum is $511). Thus, the average monthly benefit per person is $122.33, and the average weekly benefit is (using the calculation that we SNAP-eligibility workers do), is $28.45.

Yayyyy I have sometimes-debilitating, entirely health-related anxiety, myself. This comment and also this thread generally is very comforting, thank you.

Late 20s ladyperson from the US, and that sounds pretty similar to me. I usually have 1 or 2 pretty much every weeknight (usually beer, sometimes wine or a g&t or a bourbon on the rocks), and 2-4 on weekend nights. Maaaaaybe once a month I’ll have up to 6 in a day if there is a brunch or an afternoon brewery tour…

This is simultaneously the worst and best thing I have ever read. I am crying.

Ha! Remembered another one. This one was post-drinking in the dorms once. My school had this fun end-of-term tradition of putting out an ice cream trough (literally. a *trough* filled with ice cream) and sundae toppings at the last breakfast before break. I’d managed to shakily extract myself from bad and wander into…

Shortly after college, I worked at a coffee shop inside an office building. We were on the first floor, the nearest restroom was on the... third. I opened the store, which meant getting there at 5. One catastrophically hungover morning, I had to ride the elevator up two floors to vomit in a classy commercial bank…

I presume he’s also simultaneously working on legislation that would ensure healthy, whole food is accessible and affordable to all people, including those receiving SNAP?

I tweeted boring navel gazing for a year, stopped entirely for another, then came back solely to hate-tweet assholes. I do not regret the change of subject matter.

Shit. I didn't read this until after I'd voted and now I regret my choice. Pulling for you, drunk girl!

Shit. Wrong comment. Nm.

Ha, yeah, you don't have to do the composting yourself. You can, however, literally buy back your own garbage from the city in the form of fully-matured compost. I don't know what the hell composting method they use, though - you can put, like, meat/bones and dairy in there...

Freeze your kitchen compost! I learned this trick from an old roommate and cannot recommend it enough. No smells. No fruit flies. Easy disposal from kitchen bin to curbside bin (no weird gooey stuff oozing halfway down the side of the bin, because it's all solid!). Did I mention no smells? I use a longish, flattish…

Trust me, Starbucks has caught on to that and every barista at the store is rolling their eyes at you. They just don't care.

The number of people who ordered an "iced cappuccino" when I worked at Starbucks was truly astounding. I just made iced lattes. It was easier than explaining.

Because there is a more worthy raptor out there maybe...?
