...after the scene where the moms were learning about nutrition and the super condescending teacher told the  moms that blueberries were an excellent snack. I took it as Alex desperately trying to learn something, even from a condescending prick.

When the man, Kelly Sills, was confronted by security at a Disney restaurant about missing the safety procedures required to enter the park

Even better, why not get a sink whose entire basin can double as a counter?

The Free Britney movement is a conspiracy theory, full stop. There’s probably something very wrong with her conservatorship. The media was awful to her during her peak years of fame and she deserves an apology, particularly when it comes to the coverage of her mental health. It contains a kernel of truth. But the way…

Literally the opposite of what I said. Clearly the way health care workers talk about obesity right now is not working. It is their job to make sure the message is not lost in fatphobic ideas. 

Getting vaccinated against a disease that has killed 2.7+ million and ravaged the planet for a whole year seems like a pretty damn good reason celebrate.

What does it mean to say that anyone fell for this?  There’s nothing to fall for.  You get a free donut.  That is the end of it.  

I think most people are probably able to eat a free donut without becoming some sort of donut addict. Recognizing there is without a doubt a cynical marketing ploy here, I kind of doubt that many people who take advantage of this are suddenly going to make Krispy Kreme a part of their daily routine as a result of it.…

That’s a reasonable take. “Some fat people will carry their vaccine cards around to get extra donuts” is ...not a reasonable worry.

So address systemic challenges to food access. Lobby a grocery store to give away veggies. Jesus christ. Aren’t you up thread complaining about joyless, humorless progressives? Are they stepping on your gig or something?

Jesus Christ, some of these replies! “What if fat people use their vaccines to scam multiple donuts?!” So. The fuck. What? 

We’ve got to stop those sneaky, insidious fat people! They’ll scam us out of house and donuts!

When people turn to racism and classism to “deal with their trauma” we can still call them shitty for that. Also, she could have been shitty in private and been fine, she’d still be richer than god. She went out of her way to be publicly shitty in order to get richer.

I mean, sure she is doing good things now and we all grow up - but she has said and done shitty things that are outside of her abuse.

the chances of someone altering their daily routine to include a free doughnut, especially when in many places it’s not super convenient to acquire Krispy Kreme, is laughable. This is a windmill you can tilt at if you choose, but it’s kind of like Voter fraud. Sure there might be a few cases where it’s a problem, but…

Nobody is a bigger sugar junkie than me, but even I know this is just a silly “clever” promo. I luvs me some KK for sure but not every day. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I had any. Where’s my vaccination card....

Also that Thanksgiving dinner painting is called ‘Freedom from Want,’ a title taken directly from one of Roosevelt’s speeches. It may seem saccharine, but not apolitical, he’s a socialist realist, through and through.

“[Martha Stewart] also normalized the idea of fall decor to celebrate the season itself by treating pumpkins and corn husk wreaths like decorations.”

I hate pumpkin spice lattes. And I am totally ok with pillorying them- so Puritan, for one thing, to put anything in the stocks and punish. I do get that as a writer paid to observe American culture, you’ve gotten the tone of pretzel logic -needed to observe a culture you’re part of- spot on. A few things,…

I am 100% a white suburban housewife who loves fall and sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. IDK how this article got into Thanksgiving? Which, while technically in the fall is just a dress rehearsal for Christmas. The secret is, I live in Georgia. In the fall, it is the end of 4+ months of temperatures over 90 and all…
