YES YES YESSSSSS! I LOVE Bessie Smith!!!!!!!
I generally love me some blues and swing, but she's just....on another plane. She's a n Empress, on a throne.
I do not know why I don't listen to her more. I AM GOING TO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING K THNX BAI

I want these dresses so badly. One can still fight the patriarchy in a skirt, yeah? I found a few stores on ebay that sell dresses like these, but fuck they are so expensive. When I become a gazillionaire, I'm buying all of their plus-sized stock.

On the flip side to everyone's…

Soooooo....there will street vendors peddling boiled goose?

I totally forgot about public shaming. That would definitely happen nowadays!!!

Hello fellow concierge!!!!
I work as a front desk person for a retirement community, and this past week they had to close the dining rooms due to a bug going around. As a result, the kitchen staff would deliver food to everyone's room. Now, as a front desk person, sometimes people will call down, have me take their…

I like to think that the modern twist would be to say, "HEY, you forgot something!", walk up to them, and ever so fiiiiirmly press that mess into his hand. Followed, of course, by "You are never allowed in our establishment again."

Too late! What's the story?

Who the hay would buy this stuff? I mean, this one does look cute, but only cause it reminds me of this book called Hetty, about an old doll. Read the item description for extra LOLZ.

But this topic does remind me of something that happened a few years ago, when I was about 15 or…

Or, apparently, some of us learned at age two.

Brutus is JUST as pretty as Cesar!!!!!1!!!!!!

Well hey, if we're talking bully stories! I actually posted this downwind, but it fits here, so here's ya'll go:

This is gonna be a long one. I don't know if anyone will read this, but if you do-kudos for sticking it out.
As a kid, and even now, I have always been particular about my stuff. I do. Not. Like. It. When. People. Mess. With. My. Stuff. This coupled with my tendency to bottle my emotions has lead to a few freak outs…

Fucking THANK YOU. Papa John's is ASS, and they don't even like to pay their employees decent wages.

I grew up in Georgia, on a military base near Hinesville. I loved it there, and plan on returning someday. I'd wager that Florida is the clusterfuck of the south, though, with Mississippi being a close second. Alabama has to be third, at least.

I think I'll go throw up now

I have never been more thankful to be a Californian.
I mean, sure, we got anti-vaxxers, but at least we get to eat tasty pizza on our deathbeds. I think I'm going to tip my pizza guy extra next time I get delivery, just to show how thankful I am that he isn't delivering St. Louis pizza.
Also all that food history…

I actually really liked it! I feel like it eases you into the subject.
I learned about it from the book put out by American Girl (y'know, the company that makes dolls?) It was very helpful, and actually included grooming tips as well as information on what to expect from puberty. I read it at the age of 11 (my Nana…

I may be a bit late to the game, but RoseKnight and I have recently tried boba drinks, and I forsee a future in which we chill there while sipping delicious drinks.
When things get tight, we also opt for Costco fare (anyone can eat lunch at Costco-it's under $2 for a hot dog and a soda), and if we both get hot dogs and…

I laughed harder than I should have at the baby punting story. All I can say is, try to keep your kids from getting underfoot.
Or as my mom says, "No, don't stop them-let 'em learn." She only says this after copius warnings, though.

What in the actual what?
I mean....so it's low class until rich white people give it the thumbs up?
The funniest thing is, you know they'll feign ignorance about it too. "Oh, well, they're allowed to say it! I thought it was okay!" That isn't a legitimate excuse anymore; the world has gotten bigger, but with the power…
