Suggesting that somebody shouldn’t write because they are the wrong age/race/gender feels incredibly dangerous.

I for one come here precisely for the petty celebrity respite from reality. It keeps my brain calm so I can continue the good fight.

Target is great for athletic wear, as are Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Some of my very favorite leggings have come from these stores, and it’s always shockingly inexpensive.

Now that’s a meal! Fair point that bloat isn’t always linked to carbs, I just find that it usually follows pasta, bread, or other flour-based foods. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, though.

Don’t blame the fat for what the carbs and sodium did!

I call this the Ed Sheeran effect.

I think this is a good idea. It’s how I watched the original series, which I totally fell in love with. In watching round two episodically, I get very confused week to week. I think I’ll take it all in again from the very beginning once I finish....confusion aside, I adore it!

I’ve tried Blue Apron and it’s absolutely helpful for introducing meal variety, as well as educating on new cooking methods and ingredients. Some of the meals were really delicious, and things that I’ve replicated in my post Blue Apron life.

So with you on this! I would consider myself adequately competent at small talk, but this question always leaves me awkward, fumbling, and painting a picture of a very depressing and meaningless life.

Me too! I’ve always called this ‘double bent’... Not sure if it’s regional slang or just something my particular posse of burnouts invented in the early 2000s.

It is a very silly name, but Bey and Jay’s progeny ain’t gettin bullied.

I need at least an hour with Kathy Bates and her niece. I’ll pay money.

Third theory: it really was sugar, but a hanger-on who’s familiar with the good good made it resemble lines for jokes. I’m looking at you, Cheban.

Oh yes! I always loved this one as well:

Yes! This dress is gorgeous. It’s also the look I was going for at my prom (2003), but ended up with something very similar but also COVERED in gold glittery designs. Not so timeless after all. Rachel is my eternal style icon from head to toe!

I love it too! Thanks, Bob, for giving Kesha the hug she so deserved.

It’s from the set of a movie they were filming together when they met. So, yes! You’re absolutely right :)

I appreciate your perspective, and agree that he can be ridiculed if he’s behaving in a way that’s unaware. I guess I just didn’t see his desire to make a movie that is partially motivated by another straight white guy’s movie as being particularly tone deaf. I mean, I certainly won’t be lining up to see it, but I…

But Ed Sheeran seems fairly benign, right? Not sure he’s deserving of ridicule for his inherent privilege just for living a public life. Don’t get me wrong, we desperately need more stories of POC- doesn’t mean this guy can’t tell his story, too.

Interesting. That’s not how I read it at all. Just assumed the joke stopped being funny a long time ago and she’s tired of getting spammed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
