“Revenge is a dish best served with fecal matter”?

WAIT WHAT?

But for reasons scientists don’t understand, about 20 percent of people get severely ill.

Isn’t this the same author that described what it might have felt like to be in Kobe Bryant’s helicopter as it was crashing?

I made the executive decision to cancel all of my organization’s public events immediately after Mardi Gras, since it was very obvious (given the amount of international tourism) that community spread would be a huge problem within a few weeks. It’s been unnerving watching how slowly everyone else is waking up to this…

I quit reading after this:

I’m sure Jolie has a much superior video, but I learned how from a youtube video, and my fitted sheet-folding talent is such that Martha Freaking Stewart would marvel at my prowess. When I am long gone, my people will remember that I could fold a perfect fitted sheet, if nothing else.

Maybe I’ll make a new one but the old one was from old Deadspin and it makes me too damned sad to think about it now :(

Oh, gosh.  I’m sending good vibes to all of y’all.  

It is the most incredible travesty I’ve ever seen. Just ... wtf. I mean, in the “before” pics, you’re like “oh cool, look at the lines, the high ceilings, the moulding and trimwork” and then you see yeah, okay there’s a lot (peeling ceilings, wonky walls and floors) that needs some SERIOUS rehab/replacement. And I got…

I am in Quebec and the daycares have closed, but they are running special, free daycares for children of essential service workers (doctors, nurses, etc). The early childhood workers are being paid time and a half. I think this is ideal. 

I have been looking at houses on and off and the shear amount of houses with horrid wallpaper is astounding.  I hate wall paper.  Some of the stuff I have seen is nuts.   I see wall paper and I don’t look at anymore pics.  That house it done...

In what I’m going to call My Creative Maturity, I’m kind of “why not both?” now. I like punchy flares of strong color, I like bold/unusual pieces, I like unexpected combinations of styles and textures and patterns ... but I also prefer LESS STUFF overall, and an uncluttered feel for both mental serenity and ease of…

Exactly. And it’s a mess top to bottom, really. If daycares close, then the parents who NEED daycare to be able to do their job suddenly can’t, which means thousands of nurses and doctors and grocery store workers and all these people keeping us on our feet right now all of a sudden can’t work. But a daycare worker…

Our design choices are always going to be limited by what’s available - so if midcentury modern minimalism is the thing, most of our homes are going to resemble that, at least a little, at least in part - but just create the spaces you enjoy, folks, and fuck all the rest. Just as it’s going out of style, we’re in the…

My first response was “Big Brother is still going?” I really didn’t think it was running still, anywhere in the world!

“...special hygiene measures...”

Big Brother Canada just started too - although I guess they knew that it was happening, they won’t see the massive shift this week. They’ll probably miss most of the worst of it since the whole group is isolated for 12 weeks.

Based on the panic attacks I’ve been seeming, being isolated, virus-free, and with no possibility of being around any virus-carrying people seems pretty sweet, actually*

My dudes. I have had a win!!! I received word from my state’s Victims of Crime department and they BELIEVE ME. All the facts laid out to them in black and white and they are on my side. And they have paid me the highest amount available for the nature of the crime, plus lost wages. So to celebrate, I took myself off…
