It always has been. Men condescend disproportionately to women. Now that young women are, on average, more educated than men, and men are still explaining stuff we already know to us on a regular basis, this is getting named and called out.

If I can use the parental controls to block my father-in-law from watching Fox News at our house, I’m sure Mattis can figure it out.

I used to be scared of spiders (well, still am) and would kill them anytime I saw them. Then I watched a house centipede destroy one. House centipedes and I are now engaged in a complicated relationship. I don’t kill them because I respect what they do, but if they ever try anything I WILL NOT HESITATE to burn my…

I used to bike to work to my old job that I hated, and think about how if I got hit by a car I wouldn’t have to go in. It took realizing how fucked that is to help me quit.

Ohhhh noooo. When you have a super pattable percussive butt... oh man... the joy of the pat pat patting that is soooo good. One of my dogs got them bey hips... so satisfying to pat. True story, last night my husband and I, both mid-sleep, woke up because we were both patting her butt and ended up patting each others…

You mean to tell me Taco Bell doesn’t serve freshly diced and seasoned kobe beef?

Remember to compartmentalize.

Personally, while I think vacations are great, I think doing stuff like this would be better for my mental health. Organizing a trip for a family of four is extremely stressful, to the point that I’m about ready to send everyone off on one plane and put myself on another by the time it’s time to go. Taking one day…

We have a four year old and we aren’t shy at all, but I remember my parents getting a bit more conservative around the age of twelve.

My cue to start covering up more came when one of my twin boys first said “daddy put pants on! I don’t wanna see your stinky butt!” Guess he was about 5 at the time. And I’ve never gone full nude in front of them anyway, but that’s just a personal comfort level thing I have going on that extends to the rest of my…

I’d check out Takenoko, Dead of Winter, and (while not listed in the gold sale) Tokaido, which is very well priced.

yes, this! i have an asian grocery near me that has a large restaurant supply section. giant strainers, 15-50lb bags of sushi rice for a fraction of grocery store prices, 6 sizes of woks, butane tabletop burners for cheaper than sams club or amazon ever has. i love it. and the cheap butane burners really come in handy…

Only dead onions.

Be careful. It’s a slippery slope. Before you know it, you’ll be standing in front of the wooden utensil wall at Kitchen and Company comparing bowl shapes and handle curvature.

If you’re willing to go out to Federal Way, hit Tokyo Ya for some choice ramen.

Just moved here from LA and would love to know some good places to try as well.

I’m shocked by how much I like them considering how I previously had no use for zucchini outside of my mother’s chocolate-zucchini cake. For your salad, I bet julienned or spiralised would work best, but I haven’t tried that cut yet (still haven’t found one of those mystical devices yet). The thin medallions or…

You might consider allergy testing. I did a food detox a few years ago and felt better very quickly. After the detox you bring foods back one at a time and gluten was the last one on the list and i still felt great. So, i figured i had a problem with gluten. A few months later i was getting allergy tested and…

I bought my fiance an orchid (from Home Depot of all places!) for her birthday three years ago. We haven’t done anything to it other than water it every couple of days. One of the leaves did get burnt after leaving it in direct sunlight, but year over year, it has continued to bloom right around Easter, and then a…
