Yeah! Stay home and vacation in the good ol' US of A. A plutocracy built on slave labour!

oh!

So. I am here to give an update about what happened last week when I fled from my emotionally abusive boyfriend. I've been posting about trying to get out of this relationship for a while but had been very very stuck do to being very very poor and very alone in a new city and not being able to afford a place of my own…

"If you are a mom, if you are a wife, if you're the keeper of your home, I want you to know that your joy is so important this Christmas," he said in a Facebook video. "Because Christmas is about joy and if the joy of the Lord is your strength, remember, the joy of the mom is her children's strength, so don't let…

I worked for a regional franchise of a national chain restaurant that was a big proponent of secret shopping. Our location was near several busy business parks and hotels with convention spaces. One of our regular groups was a Mormon youth conference - all very nice, well-dressed, attractive young people, but they…

Hi. So, the first story is mine. I assure you, I didn't write it to be mean-spirited, but because it was absolutely hilarious. The guy was super nice, ate his meal, and like I said in the story, he said it was delicious. He even laughed when I explained that he had just had an entire meal at an Indian restaurant…

One thing I have not considered is the perspective of Monsignor Ignacio Carrasco de Paula, because…

nor does eggplant have a cadre of vehement and humorless defenders.

I know a girl who uses those terms. She always describes herself as an alpha and how she can't get along with other alphas and how alphas don't like it when other alphas are in their territory and I'm just sitting there like, are you human beings or fucking tigers? What is all this nonsense?

Labor force participation by women here is lower than the national average because of cultural and religious reasons (i.e. pressure on middle-class and upper-middle-class married Mormon women to be stay-at-home mothers), and that means they tend to disproportionately miss out on…

We're #1! We're #1! (Just the ladies now.) We're #1! I can't hear you, fellow Utah ladies! Perhaps most of you are too busy voting against your interests to chant with me?'

hush your mouth! Jerry Orbach was awesome. He was in the original Guys and Dolls and 42nd Street. And yes, he was hot.

For maximum authenticity, the clothing shown is actually made with slave labor in Bangledesh.

Sad kitchen lesson I learned at a young age: Baking chocolate looks beautiful, especially when you score a full wrapped block from the cabinet, but it does not taste like Hershey's chocolate. AT ALL.

It's as accurate a take on an acid trip as "they feel like sand" is an accurate description of breasts. I ain't mad at anyone who finds it amusing, though.
