And that’s just if you stick to the main story line and don’t include all the other strange bits and pieces of folklore and placenames and his knight’s sidequests. e.g. Gawain and the Green Knight.

A. No shame at all, I’d just be like “I did it for the money and now I get to do whatever I want.” Win.

Except if it’s a crowded morning train and you’re one of the assholes taking up extra space by standing in front of a perfectly good seat.

They still use them in Toronto too!

100%, especially as I’ve gotten backlash when offering my seat a couple of times, from the older lady who yelled about how much yoga she could do to someone who was offended that I might have thought they looked pregnant.

It’s also the fabric. I’ve (mostly) moved on from shopping at a couple of stores that I used to love for basics because the quality of their fabrics (and to a lesser extent their production) has decreased dramatically - even over the last five years.

I know, it’s nuts! I mean, babies are expensive anyway, I don’t know how any Americans do it.

See, this really struck me as their discomfort with defining a man like this. We see “54-year-old mother / wife” ALL the time for women, but I think that when it was going to be “father / husband” it make them uncomfortable and they had to emphasize his existence outside those roles.

You can definitely do it safely, it depends on what kind of fireplace you have etc.

What is that second last (punching astronaut) gif from? I feel like I might need it in my life.

I was just coming down to talk about post-WWI Germany. It was SO much more complicated than that - and I just don’t understand why it is such a persistent historical “fact”.

Sort of? They ruled that the existing laws on the books did not cover non penetrative sexual acts and that new laws would have to be written. Not exactly the same as saying it was “made legal.”

When I went to the symphony a couple weeks ago the man in the seat behind me HUMMED ALONG for the entire 2 hours, seemingly impervious to the glares shot at him from those of us around him. He then proceeded to clap between every movement.

I am slightly worried that this is what my family think about my new boyfriend. We’re not that bad (like we can eat...?) but I held his hand through most of the big 40 person anniversary party for my grandparents, which was his first experiences of the *whole gang.* But he has social anxiety and needed the support so…

I never shave my legs right at the beginning. I shave irregularly and at a whim most of the time, and I figure why build up expectations?

Well, I’m not IRL but by sister is amazing and I wouldn’t give her up for anything. She’s actually been living with me for the past year as she does her internship at a hospital in my city and it’s fantastic.

I will never understand people who complain and complain about other people’s events. They are aware that RSVPing no is an option, right?

Genuine and kind question: do they really need / want you to buy all these things?

I threw one of my good friends a shower for her PhD. It was awesome!
