Tenant-side housing attorney here (pro bono for a number of years now a fed). I can’t even with people. Read your damn lease, follow what it says, pay your rent, and don’t be an asshole to the manager and neighbors. It isn’t that hard.

I will vote for a Tim Kaine-esque “I don’t believe in it personally but I think it should be legal, safe and ya’ll should make your own choice” Dem. I will not vote for an anti-choice Dem. I will not give my money to an anti-choice Dem. I will not give my money to a DCCC that supports anti-choice Dems.

I’m 32 and my mom is your mom’s age. I have been about 350 miles from them for 6 years, and I go for Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, and usually around the winter holidays (mostly because for the last 3 years I have had 10 days in a row off, but with my new job I doubt I will make it down—we’re Jewish so Christmas is not…

that’s when you respond, “you can’t expect me to know which name you want to be called on any given day. wear a name tag. write an e-mail. post a sign. or just pick a name.”

I love the top. It is sold out :(

This is insane. They know this is going to happen. Set up a few tents with beds and equipment and lots of fans, and send the kids there to triage. If their vitals are fine, give them some water and a bedpan and call their parents. If they need an IV or more attention, send them off to the ED. There is absolutely no…

Basically this, which is why I made the distinction between Hispanic and Latin@, and said “I suppose” about her being Latina. I find a lot of South Americans do not consider themselves Latin@ (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, especially), but it seems to be embraced by Mexicans and Central Americans.

Yep. She is not Hispanic, as Brazil is not a Spanish-speaking country. She is Latina, I suppose, since she is from a Latin American country. But that’s really a ethnicity/national origin thing. She presents as a white Brazilian, as opposed to an indigenous or black Brazilian.

Some of the Enlightened flavors are decent too — hot chocolate and chocolate brownie.

I like some of the flavors — mint, cookie dough, peanut butter cup, and black cherry. I am not an orthorexic (I am a plus size gal), either. I get really bad period cravings, and Cannot at all control myself around real ice cream during that time, which ends up making me sick b/c I can’t really tolerate that much…

This. The kid committed suicide because something was going on his life, whether a trauma or a mental illness. He didn’t do it because of some random game.

Yep. Not having kids partially for this reason. Can’t bring them into this insanity.

go to a department store & buy the same bra in a bunch of colors. That is what I do. I have a bra I like, and I just buy new ones of the same one. No trying on at all. It’s a standard Vanity Fair so it doesn’t change (except for colors) year to year.

nah, im an 18 and I wear these. Look for ones that aren’t too roomy and belt them.

sack dresses are amazing. I’m plus size, and I bought a few with short sleeves, and I love running around in them — breezy and comfy. If I want to dress it up a little, I’ll add a thin belt and some jewelry.

I have a few Ikea pieces, namely my three expedits that were bought used on Craigslist and have lasted me 3.5 years and are still going strong. I love these things, and thankfully the people who put them together did it well. I even put legs on one of them so it is high enough to allow for tabletop mirror usage AND…

I love me some Kamala & this is why I voted for her over Sanchez. But one thing:

Cupcakes are merely a vehicle for frosting, but all those fancy cupcake places never have enough frosting. Therefore, cupcakes suck.

Sounds delicious. I assume he ordered ricotta pancakes not knowing that ricotta is cheese.
