Nah, she voted for Jimmy Carter. Twice!

There’s a gorgeous, botanical gin local to where I used to live called Silent Pool, named for the lake near the distillery. If you ever come across it, it’s gorgeous. It’s very, very faintly sweet, with a bit of lime to it. It’s one of the only gins I’ve ever come across that could be easily drunk neat.

There’s a flavour, but green vegetables sometimes interact weirdly with certain genes, so it’s possible that it’s that? That said, I’m not super keen on the flavour, because to me, it’s basically like mushy grass.

Legit, chocolate avocado pudding is the best. It’s like the fanciest, riches mousse, without the faff of dealing with eggs, and it’s super filling.

Speaking as a 90s kid who remembers when the first Tomb Raider came out, little girls will *definitely* latch on to any doll that isn’t just pink and hyper girly.

The Final Sequence in Sweeney Todd runs through a lot of previous numbers, too. Pretty much every major song, in fact!

For me, it slots in right under the decision that a house in New York is, in the eyes of the law, haunted. Because the former owner advertised it as such for years, but then failed to mention this when it was sold, and it had a direct effect on the longterm value.

Nashville is wonderful, soapy trash. The new Dynasty on Netflix is an amazing dumpster fire. And I don’t like most of AHS, but the Hotel season is charming and at times remarkably sweet.

I binged season 8 again recently and liked Kennedy more this time around, but there’s also something uncomfortable when she leans into comedy (with the exception of Little Richard). She goes firmly for the ghetto stereotypes, but to a level that turns it into a charicature it’s actually really hard to laugh at.

It’s been years since I thought of this, so thank this comment thread for reminding me of Noel Fielding dancing to Wuthering Heights.

Yeah, you get small collections of kids who may play around and ID differently than they will later on, because they feel free to experiment, but considering there is still a stigma associated with being trans or NB or GNC, it’s not really the ‘cool’ thing to do.

I’m 31 and spent a lot of time floundering in and after high school, unsure of who I was or even what I was. Despite IDing as queer from age 14 (and even gay), I dated almost exclusively men until I was 21, mostly because I craved affection and I was living in Ohio, surrounded by very, very few other queer kids. I…

That’s very much a personal thing. For some non-binary people, there is a transition of some sort in order to present in a way that’s comfortable for them. For others, we just... keep on truckin’. I’m AFAB, identify as agender, but I’m 1) not out with many people and 2) I wear dresses every day because pants suck and…

Tahani helped Jason in how she treated him while they were hooking up. Not intentionally, but by treating him as if she was embarrassed, she effectively forced/allowed him to realise a sense of self-worth.

*Two* on GoT! And from the same generation, at that. Joe Dempsie plays Gendry.

Every time I read about Goop, I remember an interview I watched of GP from probably about 15 years ago. She talked about how her dad had walked in on her doing yoga and pronounced, “Hey, now you can actually get your head up your ass!”

Here’s the thing that gets me about that sort of claim: No, anger isn’t healthy. But that isn’t because being angry is in and of itself unhealthy, but because stress legitimately does cause a huge strain on the body, and stress goes hand in hand with anger. People who aren’t stressed don’t have reasons to be angry.…

I suspect it’s because someone thinks that the grey ring around the yolk looks somehow aesthetically pleasing and more “healthy.”

I mean, hundreds of years ago, we believed in vapours and that spicy food was a cure for a limp dick, and rich people ate mummies. So...

Abuse survivor here - the song is the single most cathartic thing I’ve ever listened to. It’s glorious. The whole album is full of so much catharsis and light and joy, without ever trying to cover up scars or say that the world is perfect now. I love it so much.
