This is neither here nor there but I was talking to a friend about how much bravery this took and how as a high school senior I NEVER would have had the guts to do this in a valediction speech. My friend deadpanned, “also you weren’t smart enough to be valedictorian.” And I keep thinking about how true and funny it is.

I live in OH and got my vaccine right away. I have already told everyone in my life that if I win the lottery for getting vaccinated I’m using my 15 minutes to scold people who haven’t gotten vaccinated. I need help with my tone/message. But I’m thinking basically, “I’m glad I won this money and that you didn’t…

Yeah, I just don’t believe that he will face any real consequences. I feel like these people break laws right out in the open for God and everyone to see and nothing every happens. 

I don’t know ... this seems to be a situation in which it really fits? Like a less-racist Hercule Poirot who just pops in and out of all these murder mysteries. Plus I’m a sucker for a huge cast of actors who each do like three scenes but are clearly having fun! That’s my summer jam.

Yeah, I came up in the age of the billabong-cheeky-hip-hugger bikini bottoms and I gotta say (for all my “never again” to anything low rise) its the strings that go up OVER your hip bones that are a big no for me ... it’s like the worst of both worlds? Really low under the belly and high up over the lovehandles?

Yeah, I’m sort of just a speculator in cryptocurrencies so ... wth do I know? But from what I understand dogecoin isn’t it. And his constant mentions of it feels like market manipulation to me. It’s nothing worse than what happens with the stock market but I do worry that people who haven’t done their research will…

Well, my current kitchen is original to the house (which was built in 1948) so it is literally a sink, a stove, and a fridge. We currently do all of our prep work on a cutting board on one half of the stove. So ... pretty much anything we do will be an improvement.

I literally just bought one of the reproduction drainboard sinks for my small kitchen remodel. I’m a little relieved that your idea is something I’m already doing because it’s too late to start the planning from scratch. Also ... I’m excited about my drainboard sink!

Yes. Plus medical information. I just had to fill out a 25 page registration form for my 3 year old to begin attending public preschool next fall. Most of it was innocuous, but I had to give records from her pediatrician (including her birthweight?) and I can imagine a situation where that information getting out…

So, I wish I had links but I’m fairly certain Biden signed an EO allocating $4B to purchasing vaccines and developing infrastructure for distribution to in-need countries. I think China has given $10B. I do believe there’s a concerted effort among rich countries to ensure that every country has what it needs to fight…

Haha! Fair enough.

Does anyone else ever dream that they turn a corner in their house and then there’s a whole new room? And you’re like, “oh yeah, I forgot I had this whole extra room? This is great!”

I may be revealing my extreme ignorance about how the legal system is supposed to work ... BUT ... how on earth are they going to find a jury for this? Is there a person on the planet who doesn’t have an opinion on what happened on the 6th? If they manage to find 12 people who’ve been living under rocks, are we…

Exactly. And it’s not so much that I want to chastise them as much as I am SHOCKED at what some people feel is acceptable. When those behavior have potentially deadly consequences, it’s also really difficult not to take it personally.

I really sympathize with the letter writer here. I think one of the things we’ll be dealing with long after this pandemic is over is the loss of respect for people over their behavior throughout this ordeal. I mean, I get that there are some people who would look at me going for walks in my neighborhood with friends…

This! Plus “Marry Me” which was the same writing/production team and somehow only got one season?! 

Pregnant with my second right now. I’m due early Aug—which means we conceived early Nov (I’ll let you guess what we were celebrating). I just want to say that your feelings are valid. I am also missing getting to share this with my friends and family. I keep telling myself I got all that the first go-around and I chose…

Came here to say Precious Little Sleep worked so well for me. I never bought the book, paid for a class, or did anything but read the sleep guides on the website. So ... free. But it’s just nice to have something to refer to when you’re sleep deprived and can’t remember which way is up (much less what some “sleep…

Thank you. I feel bad even complaining, because I know my experience ranks somewhere on the “mildly inconvenienced” end of the spectrum and isn’t “actively being denied my rights” but it still fucking sucks!

I also live in Ohio. I’m also in “blue” county. But fuck all if that gerrymandering hasn’t made it IMPOSSIBLE to get a democratic representative. I also got some disappointing news from my OBGYN last week and literally called my husband crying saying “I hate living in Ohio.” Leaving isn’t really an option for us at…
