... also, babe!!!

Yes, it’s really grating and condescending, like they’re cute in some way instead of having lived through all sorts of stuff, including wars and relationships and losses, and achievements. Like humans do. Usually, it’s some braindead TV ‘journalist’ talking to some very elderly — sorry, fuck that, old — person at…

It makes sense, tho — it’s not a berg of ice, after all.

Ze beeg clump of ze wetted toilet paper, mamzelle. I have even asked for that at a public loo from an understanding stranger lady.

Fish ‘n’ chips shops, most likely!

Or like someone threw rolls of 50’s frou-frou curtain and bed-sheet material at a bunch of models and it landed kind of like this. These women are tall and thin and yet look (to me) rather drowning in fabric. I can’t imagine what someone without a coat-hanger figure would look like in any of these unwound bolts of…

Well, that shouldn’t smell my house up a all.

Weirdly enough, I do know the difference; I’m saying that both activities add to the problem of dwindling numbers.

You sound like an apologist for wild game hunting, as you sure seem to have all the answers as well as much knowledge of weaponry. “Elephants over-populated through much of their range”? So is any organism whose ‘range’ has been artificially shrunk via poorly planned human encroachment. Jam twelve penguins onto an ice…

It would but let’s ot mince words, ‘culling” is killing. Also, the ivory trade makes it very tempting to just cull cull cull away!! till they’re all gone, but, hey, nice carving there, rich guy in China!

She’s just a series of genius choices, this one.

How is this even legal, considering so many species, including elephants, are endangered? I would like to see big game hunters hunting other big game hunters. And succeeding until there’s only one left, who then gets promptly torn apart by a some nice lions. Sorry, my compassion goes on the fritz when I read this shit.

Hrrm, well that is interesting thank you

See you next Tuesday!

Q: are black and Hispanic women more likely to breastfeed, or breastfeed longer? B/c that has an effect on fertility. Also, maybe it’s wrong to speak of an ‘average’ American mother, as there is a great deal of cultural and religious diversity in the States, as well as scattershot access (and knowledge about) birth…

Gosh, well, I don’t think it’s useful to worry about what might have been a slur in 1800’s! That sounds rather excessive — the formal meanings of words change a lot over time, as does the vernacular. Whoever wrote in about the ‘slur’ is kinda over-PC picky, imho. I would describe myself as bohemian (lower case means…

.. and something interesting, perhaps in a glass, to calm the nerves and inspire creative ideas ...

I don’t see why it would be. Where did you hear that, and was there a reason given?

Kinder, küche, kirche, kickin’ butt ... nah, not an improvement ...

I put on my rubber glubs and scrub the stains with an abrasive cleaner. But first, I pour a bucket of water into the toilet so that it flushes (water level goes down but does not fill up again).
