I like this solution! I love pretty much all of Joss’s work because I do like the writing and actors and all that. I’m going to start doing when I feel I need a Buffy binge. 

I was confused about that as well so I did a little googling and it looks like, aside from being started by a confederate officer, it was racially exclusive until 1979. The St Louis Post-Dispatch has a good pictoral history of the protests and ridiculousness (first link in the story).

Any suggestions on books for kids who are adopted? Same race, no traumatic situation, just adopted. I see a lot that explain why the child was given up but none where the kid is just adopted and it’s a thing, not the purpose.

Yea, they looked dried to me, which makes me cringe just thinking of the dust they all accumulate. Pretty, but impractical.

I love Judi Dench’s TikToks with her grandson! I don’t have an account so I just see them when they’re posted elsewhere, but they’re delightful and I’m glad she’s getting benefit from them. 

I had one of those back tests years ago and it was excruciating. At one point a nurse walked in to check on the progress and gasped and asked how I wasn’t going mad. I told her it was a matter of will and focus. If I remember correctly, I reacted to all but 3 or 4 of the patches. (And got a follow-up arm test on the…

I HATE the glasses fog. A friend suggested folding the top of the mask down a little (back into the mask), then putting your glasses over the now-folded top edge. It does wonders for reducing fogging! I’m actually playing around with making masks specifically with the top stitched down so I can stop folding them. 

I just tried to cancel my Crunch membership today, but no one is answering the phone. I really don’t want to have to deal with a certified letter. Gyms are the WORST to cancel. (I tried to cancel it at the beginning but for some reason I had to wait for the renewal to cancel my membership. I’m sure that was bunk.)

This breaks my heart but I hope that the day you can hug your husband and he can relieve his worry about his clients is within our sights. My sister also works with developmentally disabled adults but she is only on call for the homes, not in there daily (she is more of the caseworker, so she has had to make…

Good point on the recoil not being big on this purse pistol. I guess it was part my wishful thinking and part not wanting to assume a small gun had minor recoil.

I’ve been obsessed with Iceland’s 2020 Eurovision submission for over a month now... I love everything about it (song, people, staging, choreo) and it just makes me smile whenever I hear it (I also love the Icelandic version but this is the official one, I guess). I’ve also put all of Daði Freyr’s stuff in my regular…

I’ve been obsessed with Iceland’s 2020 submission, gonna have to go check the older ones!

Cutty Ranks has a single called Kill Them Out from ‘89. Maybe Chambers is just a huge Jamaican dancehall fan?

I’m surprised she doesn’t have the pink purse gun, now that I think about it (and I’m assuming that’s a marketed purse pistol). She’s the prime target (pun intended) for those pink branded things. (No problem with pink as a color, just the marketing campaigns of “boy” things made pink for girls to become interested.)

That’s good Kinja.

This is what I can’t look away from. I’m not a gun person but at least I know the basics of proper handling. 

I’ve only ever shot a BB gun so I’m not sure on the physics (right?) but doesn’t she risk hitting herself in the face if she shoots that pistol with her arm bent like that? Like has she had training? And he keeps pointing the AR at her, though thankfully it looks like he is next to the trigger, not on it.

It...Conditions it... s’il te plait?

Based on your comment history (which I regrettably looked at AFTER I replied to you), I honestly don’t think that anything I respond will be enough for you so I’m stepping back and not having this conversation with you. I know what I’m doing in the real world and how I’m continually learning, asking my friends what…

It’s not up to me AT ALL to decide what’s racist and what’s not and what’s ok to let slide. What I was trying to say is that let’s let Jenna self-cancel and maybe focus 500 words on the assholes who aren’t actually reflecting on the shit they do. Hold her accountable, as it seems she’s doing to herself, but why waste…
