I have learned that while her vote is apparently fickle and flippable, she is a beguiling figure that can often influence her husband and friends.

It’s amazing how many ways church can traumatize you!

Don’t go if there’s any chance that you’re pregnant. I was sent away and it took months to reschedule mine because it was like 2 days before my cycle, I couldn’t be sure I wasn’t pregnant (I wasn’t), and it was too early for a pregnancy test to register an accurate result. 

Culture is key here. I grew up in a strict Catholic house and we showed up to everything five minutes early, because that’s when we showed up to church. Our family’s pew was in the front of the church so, on the rare occasions when we showed up after mass had started, we sat in the back rows, totally ashamed, and my…

The concept of cancel culture has been debunked many times. Stop using troll words you think will trigger people. Elizabeth Warren lost the primary and faced a lot of public and professional backlash for her DNA test. Unless you’re a member of the Cherokee Nation, it’s time for you to let it go, bud. 

Then you’ll be waiting a long time because Jezebel extensively and critically covered Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test, the backlash to the DNA test, the apology, and the backlash to the apology, so I can’t imagine they’re going to to dredge it up again in the year of our lord Satan 2020.

Yeah, they don’t talk to—or even listen to/follow—anyone that’s Black (unless it’s like, Briahna Joy Gray). It’s mostly Pod Save America dudes and Nate Silver etc.

Oh god I didn’t mean to suggest that you should listen to trash racist Republicans. I meant that like, I’m a Democrat who spent a long time talking to Republicans before the election and my Democrat pals repeatedly dismissed what I was telling them about the chances of winning the election. There are many shades of…

I didn’t think that Hillary was going to win and I didn’t trust the polls. This is not because I am smarter or politically savvy in any way whatsoever. This is because I kept in touch with my “disenfranchised” (lol) hometown. What was incredibly fucking annoying though was when everyone in my super liberal city…

I’ll endeavour not to be such an insufferable arsehole again.

some of the hits: a trunk, earrings, a jewelry holder, candles, a painted dress-up wardrobe (for a little kid), foot stools

Please, 2020, I beg you: let a London Yacht Club kick out Prince Andrew. Give me one small treat this year.

Oh my god I see him now. Do they think that guy’s respiratory system just...doesn’t count?

That was already my pre-pandemic policy. I understand why people like the holiday, I do, but it’s not worth it to me. In the past, I got together with friends, which is so much less stressful than family. Last year, we used three vacation days to get the whole week off and went to Italy, which is awesome in November.…

So...all of your friends quarantined. Meaning that for two weeks they all cleaned their own houses? Cooked their own food? Didn’t see another soul? I sincerely doubt that. Then you flew them to the private island on your private jet...I doubt the flight crew quarantined for two weeks. They have to make a living and…

We canceled our family holiday trip months ago. That was no problem. What I find fascinating are the people who are trying to visit us. That’s a hard no. We’ve turned away parents who would need to fly across the country and parents who could drive but won’t quarantine before coming. It’s understandable our parents…

Honestly we’ll risk Trader Joe’s and not Whole Foods because the main draw of Trader Joe’s is their stuff with a stable shelf life, or their frozen stuff, and so it’s a much more pandemic-friendly shopping trip. Also the cost is different. There’s not much we buy at Whole Foods that we can’t get at our local grocery…

My whole family makes gifts. It is considered much more loving than purchased gifts (we do those too). There have been some hilarious misses but the hits are great. Not evil, but not something I’d do for people who aren’t in my family!

When we were having a blizzard, our upstairs neighbors INSISTED that we shovel several times throughout the blizzard. I understand where this shoveling philosophy comes from, I do, but it is not my philosophy, and I said no. I’d rather suit up once, at the end of the blizzard, heave my heavy piles of snow, change my…

I’ve been using it since March without any audio/video syncing or recording issues. Maybe that’s your computer? Also why would people “mute the presenter”?
