I know it’s not the important part of this story and I’m not trying to body shame but I feel like I can’t un-see how frighteningly small her nose looks in that header pic and it’s freaking me out. 

Onset of staph is as quick as 30 minutes and it comes with the good ol’ nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps. Hopefully a lodge would have decent facilities, not just porta potties, but you’re right, it probably was not designed for that kind of horror.

Ah, weddings make epidemiologists’ jobs so much easier when it comes to investigating food borne illness outbreaks.

Fair point. I was making a somewhat flip comment because I think her past actions (the Ghost in the Shell whitewashing thing, her original comment about this controversy), make it seem more likely that she has her own self-interest completely at heart, rather than actual growth and change.

“I won’t get my Oscar nod with all the bad press so might as well bow out.”

I haven’t seen this yet but sequels worked with Before Sunrise; this seems to have the same idea so maybe it would work. 

I was exhausted scrolling through it (just wanted to get to the comments 😂)

Agreed. I don’t care what the exact words are as long as someone is genuinely pleasant. The employees at my Chick-fil-a do sound genuine 95% of the time but when you hear those same words 7 times in a drive-thru interaction, it starts sounding a little Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

The “my pleasure” thing gets creepy after a while but I agree they are polite and hard-working. 

It’s tasty food, served efficiently and they never fuck up my orders

The soufflés are fantastic.

Typhoid Mary, John Snow, and a whole lot of epidemiologists give/have evidence to the contrary...

I side sleep in undies and pjs with a pillow between my legs (feels better for my hips and back, I’ve done it forever and can’t sleep without it). I’d love to go commando at night but it seems so much easier to wash undies and jammies rather than constantly washing that pillow. And I’ve had like one yeast infection…

Why do you think many people can’t get sick from one person with millions of germs on their hands handling/preparing food they all ate? Especially if the food was left to sit between prep and eating, and the virus was able to multiply? There are tons of outbreaks of nasty viruses and bacteria that are traced back to…

I really like this piece:

I think this author makes good points that trans men should be played ideally by trans men but if not, then by cis men (and the same for women, obviously).

Milk and ice cream have much more lactose. Like you, my husband can eat cheese all day but milk and cream bother him (he eats ice anyway because duh).

Agreed! They also have some linen wide leg crops this year that are super comfortable, cute and cool, for when pants are needed.

Why is that term suddenly a thing?

I fucking wish.
