mmm i would say austin is pretty much a cookie-cutter case of being progressive in name only; we tout our “diversity” and “keep austin weird” but that just means we like co-opting cultures while simultaneously driving out all POC and the poors from the city. gentrification ho!

Yes!!!

OKAY SO I texted my mom who is a doctor about this issue.

Look, I was taught to dance with my feet planted firmly on the floor and my level of oscillation increasing gradually from there to my outstretched hands. Anything else is- well, it’s dance heresy.

Hahahahaha I’ll admit he has perfect pitch but he’s not my type. I like my men to vaguely resemble Tormund Giantsbane. I am not Biebs’ target demographic.

Ugh we use the proper words too. It’s a bit perilous where I live since there are people who have told us that the word “butt” is a dirty word. My kiddo asked if that was true. “No, it’s not a bad word,” I told her. “Some people just don’t like it and prefer for you to say something else. The bad word is ass. So don’t…

Becky is the one in purple.

I really loved Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Even visited Savannah, GA because of it.

He was actually very good in last year’s Love & Mercy as the older Brian Wilson. It was also a pretty great movie about a fascinating story I knew very little about. Paul Giamatti plays a total asshole, also very well. It is worth a slot in your Netflix cue.

Peter Pan was a wretched person who sacrificed his own son to avoid grown up responsibilities sending said child on a path to darkness and destruction.

10/10 would wear this dress all the time

You know, I don’t care what women want to do in this regard. If you want to change your last name great, if not, also great. If you both want to come up with a new name, good for you. But I do really hate when other people decide for you.

I agree on the reluctance to hyphenate. It forces the kids to eventually either pick one parent’s name, or try to convince their partner to take both of their parents’ names and keep none of their own. Tough sell.

I thought this sequence was fucking hilarious. It was a bit weird though, because no one else in the cinema was even chuckling. It’s like I’m the only person who’s seen ‘Anchors Aweigh’ numerous times.

I’ve got a similar sorting system, except I also have some that I like the smell of, but for whatever reason don’t work for me (bad mix with body chemistry, just not ‘me’, etc). Those I mix with coconut oil and put in my wax melt thingie. Then, my apartment smells good and I don’t feel like I wasted the scent.

Maybe these religious organizations should start paying some taxes before they think they can decide what is and isn’t covered by health care.

He should be ashamed of them.

So evil and...skanky. And I think kinda gay.

I have two major takeaways from this:
