We probably don’t disagree on a fundamental basis — fair enough.

IF there were some significance in the Doctor being male, I’d understand why people are uncomfortable with the change. But this is a show about a magical, immortal being that changes form every time it regenerates and can take absolutely any human form.

Yeah, I was just astounded that the guy posted that like there was nothing wrong with it, like this was a totally healthy reaction. He totally sees himself as some kind of Dr. Who hipster whose judgement is superior and valued.

I have been watching a social media conversation with great interest on the wall of a friend of mine. A man in my social circle has posted, “I’ll probably stop watching. I don’t feel like the show is for me anymore. I feel like they’re trying to cater to new fans to get a bigger audience and not to us old fans who…

Seriously. This guy. His comments about how he hopes his daughter won’t be “insecure” and spend “too much” on her wedding dress is making me extra thankful I grew up with a dad who was like, “Do whatever the fuck you want, that’s what men do.”

Self conscious is not insecure. I like to put my best self forward in my clothing choices and take pride in my personal style.

Yeah. I don’t think this is actually a terrible idea.

I bought my dress a full year early and spent more than I have on any other garment I’ve bought. So how much is “too much” and how early is “too early” is arbitrary. Obviously, marriage isn’t about how the bride looks on her wedding day, but it was important to me to be comfortable with how I looked and the dress was…

I mean ... a wedding is often a highly-photographed day and for me, as a self-conscious person, it was important to have a dress that reflected my personal style and fit me well. It took me about a day of shopping to find my dress and then it needed to be altered (which took a couple weeks because my tailor is pretty…

Thank you. The logical inconsistency and obsession with how other people spend their money is mind-boggling.

To me, the most disturbing part was the *reaction* to those who were bothered by the scene — and how that reaction was VERY different than the reactions to those bothered by other violent scenes.

I totally get that.

A friend of mine bought a house recently without a realtor, said it was near impossible to get an agent to even let him see a property. That’s the really fucked up part. A large portion of houses essentially become unavailable to you unless you have someone within the system!

A priest at my in-laws’ church said during the homily once that pre-marital co-habitation is as bad as murder. Also that Christians in the U.S. are more in danger than those in ISIS-occupied areas because, in the U.S., Christians are “under fire” from gay marriage.

I am actually pretty impressed with the maxipad trick!

I’ve got the dark circles (hereditary, thanks mom!) and get “you look tired” allllllllllLLLLllll the time, especially from men.

I respect Buc-ees for their fudge, jerky and pristine bathrooms. As well as their insane stock of giant crosses and TX decor (which my husband and I have long talked about using to ironically decorate our guest room in Austin).

Yes. When we drive from Austin to Dallas, we stop at Fazoli’s in Waco (hey it’s going extinct, it’s hard to find anywhere else!) and at the Czech stop to stuff our faces with kolaches. We’ll usually make a Buc-ee’s stop in Temple as well.

My parents also want to make this pilgrimage.

As my friend likes to put it, Seattle is plagued by “Ooh-can-I-touch-your-hair?” racism.
