Yup. I have two stainless bottles that I rarely ever clean but whichever is in use gets refilled with fresh water several times a day and the one not in use is drying out on a drying mat on my kitchen counter. 

It’s true. If I had not had a seizure duringand after labor (expected), they wouldn’t have noticed I had HELLP syndrome, and I most likely would’ve died, even though I was in an excellent hospital, in a high risk ward, with all kinds of notations on my file about multiple issues. As it was, a female nurse noticed, and…

I think about Serena Williams’ story all the time. Even all the money and notoriety in the world doesn’t protect you from being treated like you’re histrionic. She would have died on the table if they didn’t finally listen to her. It just doesn’t matter. Women (specifically WOC) are not taken seriously.

How many kids have you adopted?

I feel the same way about middle-aged fashion. I clicked on the L.L. Bean megasale link that Jezebel was tempting me with a few weeks ago and I tried to resist this total mom sweater but I could not. I actually returned it for a bigger, boxier size.  I surrender to comfort.  It is freedom.

 “But no one told me that the quote-unquote “loss” of that pre-baby body can be freedom. That you don’t realize how much you are imprisoned by your relative bodily proximity to, and striving toward, a mainstream ideal until you decidedly “lose” your ability to perform some piece of that ideal.”

Oh, The Green Book won best picture, did it?

Nikolas A Draper-Ivey, artist who did the album cover for the Black Panther soundtrack, did a quick tribute pic for the Spidey-Panther wins

The main award I wanted Black Panther to win for was Costume Design and thank God it did! It would have been a tragedy if it didn’t. Also, YAY to Spider-Verse!!!!!!

Ah the lawless land of AOL chats. The truth’s made up and your age only sort of mattered (even though it really really did). 

Honestly, I avoid complicated lies, that’s how you get caught. But as a teenager I would repeat a lie so much to my parents that I would start to believe it myself. Like when they caught me with pot right before thanksgiving, and when I say caught me, I mean they went through my room like monsters. My dad would go…

Being straight

I’m annoyed it’s a show about a partnership yet it’s only named for the guy’s codename.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, a guy on the internet telling people to watch Chuck? What is this, 2008?

Seems like they...

Honestly... they should have made this Iron Man 3, gotten rid of Iron Man 3, and made Civil War as Avengers 2. That would have been a better setup for Infinity War. They could have pulled back on the number of Avengers vs. Ultrons, made it a more personal story of how Tony was slowly losing his grip on what it means…

Though I guess probably not the worst on the block, Reitman’s been getting away with some WEIRD choices for a while and I hope this helps people realize that.

Always walk into the wind. Even if it’s in the opposite direction you need.

I actually think it’s interesting how most of her wardrobe on the show isn’t particularly flattering or sexy. Jodie Comer is obviously gorgeous and it would be easy (and the obvious route) to dress her as a cliche uber-sexy femme fatale in skin-tight ensembles. But they don’t, and I find it pretty refreshing. Same…
