I thought this about test tube babies for the longest time too, when I was little. I had this idea that say, if the mom was really sick, they could take the baby out of her and grow her in a test tube until she was supposed to be born.

Came here to say this. Glad I didn’t have to.

That’s a new one on me. My sympathies to your friend. I definitely don’t question that gluten can be very problematic for people in different ways. I just... have my doubts about this particular acquaintance’s claims.

If he were celiac, that would make sense. But he apparently doesn’t have digestive problems from eating gluten. It stinks of placebo effect to high heaven.

Someone really has to address these little-discussed non-digestive dangers of gluten.

If it was the first case, I’d understand, but given the way he talks about it... I don’t think that’s it. Actually, his mother is a complete nut (she believes in “unschooling” and I have to say her children are lovely people but incredibly ignorant about basic facts), and I feel like it’s her influence here.

Crazy Bitch Trope, yes. Thank you for naming what I was having difficulty describing.

Agreed. She’s sort of a parody of a certain type of woman. I do recall the episode of the Muppet Show guest starring Candice Bergen, where Miss Piggy took up the flag of feminism in honour of their guest star, but like most things on the Muppet Show, it was something of a joke.

To be honest, I often think Miss Piggy counts as a drag persona.

Oh, this.

Travis.

Needs more eagles.

I admit to briefly wondering how vulvar this image was as I scrolled down.

Just Peachy looks like a perfect everyday colour for me. Hmmm.

As far as cups go, Ruby Cup has a program where they donate a cup to a girl in Kenya for every one purchased.

They have the same lopsided way of smiling in this picture. That’s adorable.

Actually, your question has been answered several times over. You’re just sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending it hasn’t because you don’t like the answer.
