Yeah, with a lot of paintings, I love looking at the paint and details, especially impressionist art. So I do get somewhat close to the paintings. BUT as a fucking adult, I also know to be super, duper careful, not to get my face like, within an inch of the damn painting, and to make sure I don’t touch a damn thing…

That’s everyone’s favorite person, B.D. Wong!!! Have loved him ever since I saw him on “All American Girl”.

I feel ya. You expect to be someplace better in the near future, which is why you decided to deny yourself some luxury and relaxation, but all the hard work hasn’t panned out yet.

Have you tried heavily-scented natural wax candles (no paraffin)? My neighbors used to be REALLY bad with the smoking, but I guess one of them moved out or quit because they’ve actually stopped. That, in conjunction to the open window and a nice cross-breeze has really helped get rid of any smells in my apartment.

Oatmeal is one of those things that I can never truly get bored of. I might not WANT to make it and eat it everyday, but once I do, I enjoy it.

Thanks for posting this! It makes me want to drag out my fabrics and sewing machine and see what I can do to remain somewhat productive! Hopefully, I will have something for next week’s crafty thread. :)

Will probably be stuck down in the grays, but I have a question for the financially-struggling Jezzies right now:

Ugh, I hate this. Thus begins the dance when you gingerly try to feel all around the places your glasses might be because you don’t want to let down your guard, sit down, and break your damn glasses.

I joined the reddit Beautybox subgroup, and seeing all the pics of the Sephora play boxes made me kinda meh on wanting to join.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with all this. You might not like me saying this, but your husband seems like he’s trying, but is stuck on what to do and how to handle it all. I think you both need to talk to a professional (either a marriage counselor or a shrink) to figure out how to deal with things, because from the…

My attempts at being healthy on a budget right now are to buy those cheap bagged kale salads at Sam’s Club and also skin-on chicken thighs/drumsticks. Roast the chicken any way you like, or a number of different ways. I’m trying out all sorts of Penzeys spices and trying to create my own marinades and spice mixes.…

I feel you on the roller coaster. Ever since end of July, things have been especially bad...but it’s actually been for the past year and a half. It’s like every single time I think things are going to finally go well for me, something changes at the last minute and the rug is pulled out from under me.

Yes, male entitlement. Everything on their terms, nothing on yours.

I think he posts the same videos and pics on his Twitter account, which you don’t need to sign up for to watch. I just have a crappy, old laptop and videos on Twitter are always freezing up on me. If you already have a Twitter account, just use the app. Videos work on my old smartphone just fine.

I feel like what’s really hurting the left wing nowadays is the entire notion of “we need to hear both sides” being the default “oh, that means that person is level-headed and fair” indicator., and the evil has co=opted it and used it for their own nefarious agenda.

Literally the first thought that came into my head this morning when I woke up and heard the Bannon news was, “Holy shit, all the craziness has only been ONE MONTH, and the presidency is still only 7 months old!”

One of my fave Instagram feeds is Timothy Long’s, who is fashion curator at the Museum of London. I’m especially happy that he is as obsessed with 19th century fashion as I am.

Yeah, serving poke on sushi rice is just stupid. Regular short-grain rice is fine. With furikake, of course.

You don’t understand the mind of a rich dumbfuck. If you can get even richer while holding onto as much money as humanly possible, then that is the best route. The less money that leaves your already-full coffers, the better. That “you gotta spend money to make money” bullshit is just what you tell your clients so…

How Mark Wahlberg got anywhere in life higher than a Masshole who hawks tickets outside Justin Bieber concerts is beyond me...
