Dang. SO wish I’d heard about the Depends idea before I had my fibroids procedure. BTW, if you’re not planning to have kids, have health insurance and can suck up a couple grand in co-pays, Uterine Artery Embolization worked beautifully for me.

I got to go behind the scenes and see a full-grown female Komodo up close at the National Zoo, years ago. I was all “Hi bae, I wanna kiss you” cause she was adorable, and the zoo professionals were all, No.

Also the last time Matthew Broderick was hot. But the Komodo stole the show in that movie. It was SO CUTE.

Mother of London is a wonderful independant label known for clever, fetish-y, goth-y, beautiful clothes!

At our casual wedding party for friends we tossed a garter and we gave the person who caught it a huge bag of expensive sex toys.

Oh of course, it was very clear, I was just agreeing!

I know Bri, and she is extraordinarily brave. She’s also incredibly passionate about games and gaming, and about helping women make games. So she’s going to the mat with this, despite the terrifying conditions, because both her life and her dreams are under attack.

I know Bri and her husband. They are very good, very sane people who are in an insane situation, and who have done everything possible to get the appropriate authorities involved.

My goats would have a monkey butler.

SO deeply agree. Return of the 90s fit-and-flare style in the last year has been the best thing that’s happened to me in the world of clothing for decades. Now you can get curvy fit-and-flare dresses everywhere, not just in rockabilly plus styles. Suppose it doesn’t help the jeans shopper much tho :(

Since we recently left the US for Germany, I bought a whole bunch of plus-size clothes from Torrid, Modcloth, and F21 plus before we left. (Online only, I didn’t hit any stores.)

I got Colourpop’s “Feminist” and “Bunny” lipsticks recently and I like them :)

NYX, as I said upthread, is my cheap makeup Holy Grail. Fuck you Lime Crime, I got all the cool colored lipsticks I need for $6 each.

NYX is my cheap makeup holy grail.

My husband is a tech worker, and although he was well-paid, the cost of living (and we lived cheap, in Oakland!) meant we lived paycheck to paycheck and saved nothing. Especially if you’re single, taxes on that high salary will wipe out any gains.

SO true. We just left Oakland for Berlin, and we can’t believe how weird it is to see people relaxed and smiling on the streets. The desperate, terrified, pervasive misery of the Bay Area had become normal to us. We expect people to look out of their minds with the pressure of living. It’s completely different here.…

So true. My husband hates tomatoes, like hates and fears them as only a weird Aspie picky eater can, and I have become accustomed to removing them/saying “No tomatoes” etc., but I do often include a snide, “My husband is weird, sorry” to the person making the tomatoless food. I can’t help it! Tomatoes are delicious!

Agreed. But the graffiti drone is the one thing I like about it.

Those rabbits all look tharn.

When I saw his name I was like, oh dear lord, Curtis Sliwa is still around? We were TERRIFIED of the Guardian Angels as teenagers in NY in the early 80s.
