The reality of surgeries pre-anesthesia still absolutely boggles my mind. It’s one of those things I just genuinely can’t grasp the reality of, likely out of a defense mechanism. Just... horrific to imagine what kind of pain people went through, and that’s not even getting into the issue of sterilization and infection.

I love them too! I hated the Sesame Street characters, but looked past it because they are just diapers. But the new design makes me feel slightly less like I am part of the commodification machine.

and there goes breakfast

I don’t normally go for the surfer-dude looks, but I would probably collapse into a creamy puddle if I saw Chris Hemsworth in person.  That man is preternaturally beautiful.

Yes, yes he is good looking BUT, his true shine is that he is funny as hell. Watch him on Graham Norton and bask in his humor. This is a nice Best Of. FYI his brother Liam is very funny too.

“I think that if we try to tell people how they should tell their stories...”

Yes.

Yay, I found a sane person!

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

“Our Economy is setting records on virtually every front - Probably the best our country has ever done. Tremendous value created since the Election. The World is respecting us again! Companies are moving back to the U.S.A.”

This makes me happy.

I saw this article a couple days ago, and as a father of four, I cried while I read the article for many reasons. Now I’m about to start tearing up again. 

It’s just unnecessarily nasty. Why? Why would anybody write this about anyone? Are clicks really that important? It’s gross gross gross and they should feel bad about publishing this. 

Wow, I don’t know if it’s the recent turnover in writers, but more and more I find myself really surprised at the tone of Jezebel’s articles. This is extremely unnecessary, and I hope you’re never confronted by something like this when you ultimately lose a loved one.

You know what, I don’t get outwardly pissed at Jezebel or individual writers very often, but this whole article and it’s not-so-subtle subtext is horrible. It’s disgusting and y’all should be ashamed.

Let me be the first to say:

I swear to Dog, I will start flipping tables and setting things ON FIRE if this becomes an all-the-time thing. I’m already irritated by the preview thingies starting if I linger too long while browsing. Ugh. Netflix. Stop. You’re fine the way you are, man.

I’d have far less to say if one party involved wasn’t barely 18 when the relationship began. But yes, they seem happy.

I know they’re technically a dolphin, but calling them “whales” isn’t the issue. It’s the perpetuation of the old “killer” stereotype. “Orca” may relate back to the Roman underworld and all, but a lot of people don’t know that, so it doesn’t carry the same connotations as having “killer” in the animal’s common name.

I live in Seattle and this story has been heartbreaking--in addition to this J50, a four year old, is so starved you can see the bones of her skull. They’re trying everything, even a plan to hand feed her live Chinook if they can get close enough.
