That’s exactly what I was thinking. That’s incredibly cheap for a professional photographer...

It’s like those motels you see beside the highway that advertise that they have hot water.

Do... do men honestly try and pick up women by telling them they have their own teeth? That’s amazing.

I’m pretty convinced that size as a number is completely meaningless at this point. I’m about her weight and a couple of inches taller and I wear anything from a 8-12 depending on what store it is and what type of clothing it is. For some reason in H&M blazers, and H&M blazers alone, I am a 14 (shoulders like a…

My doctor told me the same thing when I was 12. He was a lovely but strange man.

I’m pretty much the polar opposite of you - anything after about 1100 CE and I’m out. (Or I have to try and make do on my undergrad classes, which is possibly worse!)

Hey! I am 100% all for that. I think everyone should take the beliefs and practices that work for them and go with it. It’s not that I think the fact that there is, as you say, at best scant historic evidence for pagan traditions means that Wicca et al. aren’t valid religions in the modern time. I just resent them…

Oh, gosh. I didn’t mean it personally at all. I am the worst about getting going on topics that I really care about and forgetting that just because I don’t take this sort of thing personally it doesn’t mean that other people don’t! And I should clarify that I don’t think it takes away from the validity of Wicca as a…

Eala! We are a strange and enthusiastic bunch.

Ok, but here is my big question about wicca: what is it actually, specifically taking from, and what does it mean by “ancient pagan traditions?” There are so many levels to unpack here:

Really? Because I typed it into google and found a ton of information.

This exactly! I had a dorm mate at university who claimed she “must have ADHD” because she “focused so much better when she took Adderall.” Shocking.

Yep. It’s not that she doesn’t enjoy food when it is brought to her. She likes cake, she would just never go out of her way to make and/or have cake, because she just doesn’t really care about it the way I do. She would totally go the pill route if left to her own devices.

Well yeah, but that’s a decision you make, is the point I’m getting at.

Condoms?

I’m just like you. I remember eating all her leftover cookies when we were kids. It still blows my mind!

Well, the first three are from the nightshade family of foods, which some people can have sensitivities to. Not sure why we hate fungi now.

There are some people who just don’t really care about food. My sister is like that, and while she doesn’t diet like a crazy person, she just doesn’t really care about what she eats. When she started working out in the mornings she started having cold porridge and tofu for breakfast because it had the nutrients she…

Yeah, as bonkers as this is I prefer that people be upfront about what it takes to look like that. It makes me feel less like I am naturally lacking and more like I have just decided to make something else (enjoying life) my full time job.

You just have to find your thing. I found a flower wholesaler near my house where I can get a $4 bunch of flowers every week to put in my kitchen. It always makes me smile.
