I actually think the charges against R. Kelly and Bill Cosby have been taken less seriously and, at least in the case of R. Kelly, seem to have had very little impact on his career. The sheer number of women coming forward and the fact that at least a few of them are well-known (Beverly Johnson, Janice Dickenson) was…

Totally makes sense. I always feel so fancy saying linen closet. It sounds way better than place where I shove the sheets and towels

I love randomly nautical things so I’m loving the soaps. I don’t need them but I would totally set them up on a display shelf

I was just trying to figure out what to do with my linen closet.

I’m a little conflicted about the tone of the article and the comments. John Bobbitt is an abusive asshole and I think that what happened was the result of Lorena snapping after dealing with his shit for a long time. It’s a real life revenge fantasy and it played out like a ridiculous tragi-comedy especially with him…

Me, too. It’s almost like I’m second guessing myself. Is it wrong to be happy to fit into smaller pants? Or to be able to button up a jacket I couldn’t get into a few years ago? It can be very demotivating in a lot of ways because, as much as my weight loss is about getting healthy there is a vanity aspect that I…

Gel, spray, and pins. It’s not necessary to chemically straighten hair unless there’s no way at all to get it slicked back otherwise.

It’s all tied together. Lack of real supportive resources has a huge effect on people dealing with illness. So many people end up back in the hospital, sicker than they started out, because they can’t get the services they need in the community. Health departments and private organizations are stretched super thin and…

I could totally use the Thermos. I could tote around some ginger tea or Crown Royal right comfortably with that.

This! So many people don’t vote in local elections. The local elections are the ones that will really, noticeably have an affect on your everyday life. Sitting them out means you’re okay with any yabo running your city/county/town/state. If more people had voted in the mayoral election, maybe Baltimore wouldn’t have…

Phobias are no joke but lots of people don’t get that. I’m sure his office mates thought it was hilarious at first. You know, until the gun came out. So fuck them for purposely messing with this guy after he told them not to but also fuck him for going for the (thankfully unloaded) gun. Fucks all the way around

Godzilla makes my knees weak. So big and powerful and radioactive

This. You have to change how people think about food - specifically how people think about eating healthy. A lot of people don’t grow up eating fruits and veggies on a regular basis or know how to cook a meal that doesn’t involve huge amounts of salt. And a lot of people are convinced that if they can’t afford Whole…

And you’re still missing the point. You’re focused on the time people have to cook but seemed to not get that not only do some people not have the time, they don’t have the money, consistent access to decent food, or even working appliances/places to store food. Being poor is very much about short term and more bang…

Plenty of poor people live in houses or apartments with iffy appliances. I’ve lived in them and have seen them while doing home visits. I’ve also had clients with no utilities rabbiting electricity from neighbors. I’ve also been in homes where the stove had been pulled out to be repaired and never replaced. When…

Good for you for making time out of your busy schedules to cook real food. Bad on you for not realizing how completely tone deaf your post is. In fact, it’s a near perfect example of the ‘if I can do it, everyone can’ reasoning.

Depends on where you live. Usually it’s apples, bananas, and oranges that are the cheapest and can be found at convenience stores for a sizable mark up. The big problem is that they can go bad quickly. A person on a really tight budget might have to choose between spending $2.99 on a couple of pounds of oranges that…

Or that people can become disabled and are unable to work but still have a car, clothes, etc...that they bought when they were working. I have patients that can’t work but drive cars that they bought before they got sick. It makes no sense for them to get rid of the car, especially if it’s paid off, and rely on public…

I honestly think that people who say that don’t really want to talk about race. They want to talk about about the things that make them feel good about themselves like how they’re not racist and how they don’t see color. Anything that makes them feel bad or calls them out on not really hearing what people are saying…

Some people are lucky enough to have accounts that have minimal fees or to make enough to absorb some of the fees relatively painlessly. Or can access ATMs linked to their banks. Cards like this, which are already aimed at lower income people, just eat up everything. There’s no RushCard ATMs so, if you’re going to a…
