Same here. Not only did he give me weird tingles while watching Empire Strikes Back, I discovered my interest in slash. My Han Solo and Lando Calrissian got up to all kind of naked times on Bespin

I have a fuzzy one and a light summer one. I rarely wear them at home though because I get too hot. I take one with me when I travel though because I feel like it’s more appropriate than running around in just panties and an old t-shirt.

I like the idea of bathrobes but I always find myself wearing light hoodies and sweaters when I’m home sick because I get too hot wearing my actually cozy fuzzy robe. I’m currently wearing my mom’s robe now but mostly because it reminds me of her. No wonder she always have the fans on and the windows open in the…

Why, because I eat something other than rarified health foods like tofu, kale and lettuce? Or because I don’t consider everything green to be a salad? Please, GTFO with your nonsense. A plate of collard with smoked turkey and a side of mac and cheese every once in awhile isn’t killing anybody.

Collard greens are a side dish just like green beans, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams. They can be put in a mixed green salad but, as a rule, taste better cooked with some kind of smoked meat. If I had money to burn I still wouldn’t waste it on prepared collards from Neiman Marcus because collards don’t freeze…

Odds are, they won’t care. Either they’ll place the blame on the victim for being ‘crazy’ or ‘weak’ or they’ll claim that they, as individuals, aren’t responsible for the worst of the bullying. Bullying in general requires a lack of empathy and I honestly think that a lot of bullies and bully-enablers don’t get or…

That’s what I don’t get. I said the same thing about some of the people on My Strange Addiction. Why does your family need to know these things? Especially if it doesn’t really effect any other aspects of your life.

At least you tried. That’s going above and beyond right there.

Me, too. Age play in general is squicky to me. I try not to kink shame - BDSM, puppy play, pony play, rope, electrical play, furries - I’m cool with all of that. But Littles, especially, make me uncomfortable. Even when it’s not always overtly sexual, just seeing an adult dressed as a kid right down to footy pajamas,…

When its a call for assistance for a mental health crisis, its usually the police that come rather than or along with EMS. It may be up to the individual dispatcher but it seems as if it’s standard. According to a coworker who also works as part of a mobile crisis response unit its because the situation is considered…

Just told my husband and he had a good laugh. Back when he was in college one of his art teachers kept trying to get him to read Chick tracts because he liked comics. According to him she was also very Christian and told him that he could benefit from reading something more important and better than Fantastic Four.

It’s all sex work, yes. just two different kinds. And, presumably, she wasn’t there as a paid escort or performer so it’s pretty rude to assume that she’d be cool with being offered money for sex because her job is having sex on camera. That’s like running into a professional domme at the coffee shop and offering her…

That’s actually the first thing I thought. I’m not surprised he’d offer someone cash for sex. I would be surprised if he actually paid up. He’s the sort where you get the cash up front.

I’m sorry for you loss. Just be there for him. Right now, he just need to know that you’re there for him. You can’t fix this for him or make him feel better, you can just give him space to grieve and maybe run interference when it comes to life’s little annoyances. One of the best things my husband did for me when my…

I think the problem comes when elements of culture are appropriated or mainstreamed in a way that eliminates the originators. In the U.S. there’s a long history of white people co-opting and out right taking credit for music, dances, and styles created by black people and making huge bank from doing so. I don’t take…

It’s a liability issue for the airline. If the patient comes through with no problems, then it’s unlikely that anyone is going to care whether or not the person who helped them is an actual medical provider. If the person dies or is permanently injured and it turns out that the person who offered to help turns out to…

You can’t have a med exam but you can easily check someone’s license. I’ve come across plenty of older, more experienced doctors who were frighteningly over-confident, incompetent, and straight up lazy while their younger colleagues were actually more knowledgeable, not as arrogant, and actually seemed interested in…

Maybe but to me that’s more respectability politics. In order to be taken seriously we have to be perfect and express our rage in appropriately non-aggressive ways. And even when we do, we’re still criticized. Not using the word ‘heifer’ wouldn’t have stopped people from calling her everything but a child of god for…

This. Delta wants to cover their ass should the patient die or end up disabled following emergency treatment. Letting someone who claims to be a doctor/nurse help someone without verifying that the person is, in fact, a medical professional, opens them up to liability. Of course this should be across the board, no…

So you would take help from somebody who looked older/more experienced even if they didn’t know as much rather than help from someone who looked younger but is actually more experienced? You prove an excellent point about what’s wrong with this situation and how much assumptions and biases shape decision making.
