At least you and your SO came to an understanding. If I didn’t go to Wal-Mart and Costco with my then-gf at 7 am on my day off for three hours, I was a bad boyfriend and would hear about it the rest of the day (keep in mind I had no say in the time and proceedings, it was her way or the stink-eye way).

Speaking as someone tertiarily involved in the academics of Michigan’s public health situation, the warning signs were everywhere.

Systemic racism and divestment have created incredible inequality in access to medical care and basic nutrition. There’s also a shitload of well-deserved distrust of government and white…

Some readers will have to live vicariously through your posts. My Dad told me that there is no unbleached flour to be had anywhere near where he lives. Savor your focaccia for all of us.

Nah, it’s nonsense.  Hence going from the lifetime ban, to the 1 year ban, to the ‘whoops we actually need that blood!’ 3 month ban.

All I know is, when the zoo reopened in New Orleans after Katrina, all the animals were front and center (even the shy ones we rarely saw), with a “where the f have you been?” look on their faces. They missed the admiration, I think.

It is amazing how people are quick to pack away the prejudices when they need something badly enough. Bet they try to bring the restrictions back when this is over though, because these restrictions were never about public safety but to stigmatize gays.

We all get used to our routines.

I tell her basically every time I edit a post. I mean I actually say stuff like, “How dare you make me read that when I don’t have any chicken skin lying around,” but I think she knows what I mean.

Not the same thing, but close. You can buy raw chicken skins at the butcher and fry them up yourself (pan or oven works). They are dirt cheap too, as they generally come from the chicken breasts that have been deboned and deskinned for the more health conscious people.

“...pull all the skin off at once and eat it immediately, but apparently some people find that off-putting.”

Yeah, none of this is funny. Shitty people being idolized led to us being where we are now, and where we are now, sucks. 

All this talk of about the Tiger King, a nation locked down by pandemic with a reality show host as president...truly, we live in a failed state. I’d literally rather read bullshit about Arianna Grande’s natural hair than have to hear another fucking word about the “Tiger King.”

Your scheme needs more meth.

Whatever cranky pants. I’m reading 1000+ pages a day, I get to hang out with my husband (he’s super fun) and I have time to replay all the games I haven’t touched in forever. AND I haven’t had to deal with a shitbird (some of my coworkers are the fucking worst) in aaaaaaaaggggggeeeeeees. It’s awesome. Get some empathy…

Nah, it’s just not your idea of entertaining.  I have more hobbies than I know what to do with and would be willing to put my “boring” life up against anybody’s as far as who’s was more interesting.  It’s super rare to have this much time at home.  It’s nice. 

Here’s another one:

I love this plan because of its juvenile nature: we’re not running the ad. We’re running an ad based on the ad you told us to stop running. Those are two different things.

Good grief, not only is this ad a series of statements made BY the President but you can’t even say they are taken out of context. The context is the same for all of them. Coronavirus response.

It’s a good ad! No wonder he’s mad. Does a good job summarizing how he fucked up, and that’s only one. They should absolutely go to town on his ass over this stuff. Lack of PPE? How about disbanding the pandemic response team? This is just him pretending that there’s no problem, and he’s already big mad. Good.

“How dare they use my own very recent words against me!”
