I thought this was going to be the Trumps getting a White House dog in an attempt to distract from everything terrible going on, and I felt so bad for it. 

Every summer I say I am going to leave DC, yet I’ve been here almost 10 years. I don’t know why I do this to myself.

Thank you for making me realize why I am struggling so much this afternoon with a headache and being exhausted, even after iced coffee. My idea to go walk for lunch went from “oh it’s really nice out!” to “I am a puddle that will die on this sidewalk.”

Jezebel was just slandering Aperol and Campari earlier this week, so I’m glad to see you over here keeping it real. 

I agree with this (and swear there was a lifehacker article about this recently that I commented on.)

She clearly has great taste for what works for this type of thing- Gaiman is one of those rare ones I like as much as an audiobook as I do reading it myself. (Especially if he’s the narrator.)

Yeah I didn’t think it was a problem- it certainly was a relief to me when I lost my first job out of college that I was able to have coverage through my mom while I was temping.

I’m an AU grad too! I love that we’re only publicized for weird racist flyers, that rapey fake-frat, and now treason. Oh and Corey Lewandowski. (If AU ever held a fundraiser to throw things at him and then go “womp womp” I’d actually give them money. Maybe. Once I pay off my student loans.)

I read about this from another source, and they mentioned that at 21 she’s still on her family’s health insurance.

I ate a ton of these in India (as well as all of other amazing salty, crunchy snacks that country excels at,) and some of the Indian markets here in the US carry these. I don’t know if they’d satisfy the craving, if you can find them:

How do you like the Underwood? I had a can of this and their regular sparkling that I didn’t get to before my dry-July, and my boyfriend wound up raiding them.

I found it helpful back in my dating days to have a friend help me with my Tinder bio. I used OKC at the time too (that’s where I met my boyfriend) and was able to go more in-depth on there and found it easier to write and use the questions, but the brevity of Tinder made it hard to decide what to include.

And he keeps doing interviews and bringing it up in the media. He loves having his name attached to hers and staying spotlight-adjacent, which is gross.

God me too. And she exclaimed how happy she was her husband’s last name also started with a K, so she hadn’t had to change it. 

I love that he thinks anyone cares that his life is “ruined” or that for some mysterious reason, T Swift was out to get him.

Yeah I get a lot of compliments of photos of me taken when I was living in another country and was nearing the end of my rope. I’d been in an accident and was injured and exhausted- I was travelling at the time, with limited medical care, so I had maxi pads taped over the gross wounds on my legs, but boy did my…

My boyfriend called me and left 2 voicemails about this show this morning because he heard about it on NPR.

I hope Claire does it but if not, I may need to try it for science. 

I’ve had it made with espresso and soda water, and lightly sweetened from a tiny bodega-style shop next to my old roommate’s cat’s vet. (I’m being that specific because I’ve never seen it anywhere else, and now I’m wondering if that was somehow my personal Narnia.)

Have you ever seen the meme of the peanut butter sandwich with 3 spreads (creamy, crunchy, and Nutella) and 3 toppings (jam, fluff, and honey?)
