I did once have a guy pull out my headphone to talk to me, chastising me for ‘ignoring him’; it was beyond shocking, and me realise that I’d somehow become used to guys interrupting me ‘normally’. Most recently, I was explaining to my partner why the wine was labelled vegan, and a guy leaned over to REPEAT EXACTLY…

I giddily look forward to the day that Dancing With the Stars declines his agent’s offer to appear as a contestant. I will make a big fucking unfrosted white cake, push two little chocolate chips into the spongey top, and pretend I am eating his stupid head.

Beyond is soy free and not mushy. And I went veg (23 years ago) not because I don’t like meat but because I don’t like animal cruelty. So I’ll continue to eat Beyond Sausages a couple times a month and be very happy about it.

This makes literally zero sense (though a lot of meat eaters are weirdly offended by vegetarians eating fake meat—perhaps cognitive dissonance coming out to play?). Meat tastes good. Vegetarians don’t want to contribute to animal suffering, climate change, and avoidable poor health. So you can have all the taste and…

Okay, but do you have any old and/or weak family members I can hang out with? Maybe somebody who you don’t regularly hear from? 

It’s not that deep; as a pescatarian I just want to avoid the actual tangible negative impacts that eating meat has (and yes I eat certified sustainable seafood and not that much of it). I also like things that have been marketed as new protein-inclusive dishes i.e. dragon bowls, but trading on popular meat-based…

The fake meats he was referring to were the ones that have been around for years and that suck so hard: Boca and Morningstar Farms. Owned by giant megacorporations that didn’t even try.

I really like that they are recontextualizing Leia as a beacon of hope and as a positive model for the rest of the characters, not just the women but also the men, as opposed to being the “mouthy" (for lack of better term coming to mind, not in a derogatory or condescending way) but badass super princess who more…

When I was little my hair took up about 70% of my mental space. This is actually true until I was in my 20s. You are constantly afraid that it’s going to get messy or get wet or be sticking straight out or be frizzy and you are always wishing it was smooth and straight or perfectly curly. When I was 20 I was sitting…

You know it’s that thing of where you have to step back and not let somebody else’s generational trauma become your own, or to attempt to minimize that trauma going forward. You KNOW where aunties get this shit - they didn’t invent it. They were victimized by it first. It’s really frustrating that grooming in…

(Sorry, this wasn’t supposed to be a reply for this BS comment, but )ALSO:

113% AFTER 12 years? That seems PRETTY FUCKING HIGH.

It’s funny how they want to do harm in public, but don’t want to be held accountable in the same forum. His whole thing about pushing the envelope is just so silly juxtaposed against his “what the hell is the big deal?” stance.

Murderbot is my current “fictional character with whom I identify surprisingly closely.” Not because of any of the action stuff, or anything. Purely that they just . . . I mean, they’ll do stuff if they have to. If they have to. Murderbot is every Friday night when you’re exhausted and feeling socially worn out and…

I just love the descriptions of the cheesy Stargate-esque TV shows that Murderbot likes to chill out and watch.

Imagine that it was a mirror universe Picard... and not a clone. A Picard so clever, so evil, so manipulative... that he simply conquered the Romulan empire through politics, not assassination.

It wasn’t a personal day, you disingenuous twat. They were at a 9/11 memorial, like their fucking republican counterparts should have been too.

You do when the scorpion is only on the frogs back at the behest of some other entity. Then you blame the scorpion for being a piece of shit, and the other entities for being the pieces of shit that paired up frogs and scorpions. And that analogy is pure trash anyway (suck it, Aesop) because scorpions don’t have…

It absolutely boggles my mind that our government wouldn’t have rules requiring at least a 48-hour notice before any vote is taken. That said, I will just refer to ole J.K. above

Nah, Rick Scott is a professional grifter. Those buffoons in the White House wish they could steal on the scale that Scott perfected. Trump would never bring in somebody that’s better at crime than he is.
