I’ve only ever seen female physicians routinely, OB/GYN or otherwise, and one of the reasons that Dr. Smith so glibly glosses over is that my female doctor can relate to issues like menstrual cramps, painful sex, hormone swings, and birth control options in a way that a cis male physician simply can’t. And it’s not…

I routinely find myself criticizing my body because it doesn’t look like some model or celebrity, and then I have to remind myself: “it’s their job to look like that. It’s a full-time job. You already have a full-time job, so let this shit go.”

Worcestershire sauce? Ever cocktail sauce I’ve ever eaten has had horseradish in it. Oh, and I’m pretty sure ketchup and mayo is Russian dressing. Add relish and you’ve got thousand island. (#condimentsnob)

You make a good point, but what I was getting at more is that even if to a third party whatever racism she’s experienced is identical to the racism actual Black people face, to her it’s not the same thing, because it is, for all intents and purposes, optional. I mean that her experience of racism and being Black in…

She might have gone far out of town to get those braids put in, anyway. It’s possible she didn’t go back to the same stylist twice.

Even if she did have to deal with the everyday racism that Black women face, she always had the option of just washing that fake tan off and removing her wig. It’s not the same thing.

I’m just picturing producers at Fox News like “oh wait, she’s white?! Send the camera crews to Spokane!”

That’s an interesting thought — if she was shot would she automatically become the blonde white victim cable news loves so much?

The “natural” styles, though, those have to be wigs, right? Is there a perm in the world that can turn straight Northern European hair into such tight coils?

People with egg allergies also can’t receive most vaccines.

Why on earth would that make an unopened can *more* dangerous than an opened can? She’s getting the can either way, if the concern is what will happen when it’s empty, why would giving it unopened make any difference?

You can throw it at someone’s head/use it as a blunt weapon. You can’t do that with an open can because all the liquid (and, thus, weight) would pour out.

Oh, fucking assholes with their change. When I worked the register at a cafe I used to get distracted people talking on their phones giving me random bills and coins to make “exact change,” but wasn’t anywhere near exact. They always got mad when I gave them their change due (usually something like a bill, a penny and…

Brad Pitt became famous because of his face? News to me.

So far it thinks 36-year-old me is 23, 19-year-old me is 46, and 32-year-old me is 14.

I got a $2,000 water bill once (normally it was around $100) and had to pay that shit. Turned out our meter was miscalibrated and had been for over a decade. Wheeeeee. The size of the mistake doesn’t necessarily impact whether it’s perceived as an error.

Filliam H. Muffman FTW!

Yeah, some people use oil or vegetable shortening instead of butter. Those people are wrong.

I don’t understand why this happens at all. There’s a local pub-style eatery near me that I used to frequent. I liked their burger, but not the 8lbs of grilled onions they put on it, so I’d order my burger without onions. It always arrived with onions. I’d send it back, then the replacement would have onions. Send it…

Dan Savage was looking for a collective noun to describe anti-gay bigots. I think a blart of bigots would be really, really fitting.
