Oh man, I am with you. My boyfriend deglazes a pan with dark beer and then sautees them with shallots and pancetta. I have never been so close to eloping in my entire life than the first time he made those for dinner.

Yay! More trans visibility makes me happy. And look at her! She’s got this soft-eyed Audrey Tautou thing goin’ on and I admit to watching that Instagram vid loop maaaybe a few times.

This was fantastically well-written, and really evenly illustrates the problem without resorting to omission or hyperbole, which I kinda expect sometimes ‘round these parts. And now I have a link to a really well-reasoned argument whenever this very thing pops up!

I don’t wear skirts without shorts on anymore since dealing with this on a bar patio a few summers ago. I had to restrain a friend of mine from going up, grabbing the guy’s phone and tossing it in his pitcher of beer (she and I told the bartender, and buddy got thrown out on his ass, at least. Still, I felt gross for…

“ [...] maintain a painful posture similar to a pushup position, called a plank, with bottle caps under their elbows.” HOLY CRAP, ARE YOU KIDDING? I don’t get the appeal of hazing people. But that’s probably because, you know, I’m not a complete fucking monster.

When I’m at a restaurant, I do not uppercut the waitstaff.

So... When do I get my firm congratulatory handshake?

The first time I saw a picture of one of these absurdly buff kangaroos, I laughed until I cried.
Apparently it’s something the females favour, but the biceps and pecs serve no function at all, and might actually impede it. Also, I think there was something about them being more aggressive.
They’re actually the dudebros…

Don’t make me get the spray bottle.

I would not suggesting watching even a single episode of Super Girl. I have never seen a show so insultingly not get women so hard.

Rousey is a valkyrie sent from Valhalla armed with only shade. It’s the only weapon she needs. The ability to rip people in half does the rest.

This dress is so beautiful I’m having a hard time dealing with strange misplaced aggression. Like, I’m actually mad about it.

My eyes are opened.

Yeah, I don’t understand the thought here. Are they under the impression that turning away addicts will make them just like, stop using? There’s so many different directions my mind is going in how wrong that conclusion is that I can’t chase a single one as follow-up.
And for that matter, isn’t drug testing…

Holy crap, can they just stop? Aren’t these the same people calling for declawing the so-called “Nanny State”?

I have a feeling this movie is going to be utterly fabulous right up until the extraordinarily contrived ending, like almost all del Toro movies from the last little while.

I’m glad someone else has said this! She really has an Audrey Hepburn edge, with the gigantic eyes and effortless poise. Gah. I love her.

Holy crap, look at all of this misdirected rage.

I don’t get this. Halal is a staple in my Canadian grocery store (and has been for a long time) and I don’t think there’s that much of a difference between the two of us culturally. I think?
Islamophobia is wild, man.

Those no-foam people are the worst.
I had a woman ask me give her her no-foam latte “extra extra hot”, and when I gave her the coffee double-cupped and warned her that it was very hot, she waved me away, took it to her table, spilled it on her laptop and then blamed me for the damage because the “milk was too hot.”
I…

I am absolutely buying this book. Ronda Rousey is absolutely one of my favourite people.
