I’ll bring a cauldron of snacks.

I am a staunch second-wave feminist. I believe in equal rights and equal respect for men and women and everyone else who doesn’t fit into that binary, and that all should be able to work toward the life that suits them best without worrying about traditional gender roles.

It makes me sad to see women who are quick to say they’re not a feminist, because they certainly benefit from feminism and I think they’d be rightly enraged if that went away. If they lost the right to vote, to have a bank account or own a home, to pursue whatever education interests them and work in that field, to choose whether/when/how to have children (RIP Roe v Wade), etc. I think a lot of women take a lot of these things for granted, but they exist because of feminism.

Sadly, I think the term ‘feminism’ has been successfully demonized in online spaces, to the point that many think it’s the same as feminazi. In part this is because the most awful and vocal part of any movement draws a lot of negative attention, and subsequently those who are against equality for women can use feminazis as a boogeyman to denigrate the feminist movement.

Hello lovely lady Sandy! Glad you’re feeling better, OP :)

Yeah but viruses are obligate intracellular parasites - they can’t survive for long outside of a host cell and have to reproduce using the machinery of a host cell. I’m curious what this virus is parasitizing.

OMG her little goatee fluff 🤍

Not really. In Generalized Anxiety Disorder you often are anxious for no reason. It’s like your brain lives in a state of anxiety and it doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to worry about, your brain will still worry.

The bag is meant to be purchased as a unit. If you open the bag, the lemon inside won’t be labeled for individual purchase (no sticker with a code to ring it up at the register), plus now you’ve ruined the bag so nobody else can purchase it.

So fucking tacky.

Urban Decay has been a sinking ship for years now because they strayed from what made them so beloved. They used to have palettes with funky, grungy color stories, bold nail polishes, and tons of unique colorful single shadows. Somewhere along the way they became so boring and a lot of us who loved them have moved on.

What’s going to attract teenagers to Urban Decay? It’s not a clean girl aesthetic brand, and teenagers don’t have the connection with it that their mothers likely did.

In addition to OnlyFans, this woman seems to also have a sizable TikTok following as a beauty content creator. She probably has the audience that Urban Decay wants to reach. I don’t think it’s a bad idea as a means of getting that audience’s attention, I just wonder how much they’ll be interested in Urban Decay’s product line. Or maybe UD will make even more changes to their product line to attract teenagers. Which… go ahead, I guess, but it’s also sad to see.

You could mull some apple cider in the crock pot with cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, ginger, nutmeg, and a sliced orange. Great on its own or add some rum!

Edit: forgot to mention allspice and cardamom!

The basic insight here is putting some kind of box around the pile improves organization.

Sorry if this is a super neurovanilla question, but isn’t that what your dresser drawers are for?

Well that’s annoying because I’ve always used semicolons

Rubberized coating does that eventually, especially if the ambient humidity is high.

Wow, thank you, this is great!

Ugh this is right up my weird little alley

I can’t explain why but I absolutely hate the word “potty” and refuse to use it. Something about it is like digging splinters in underneath my fingernails, but in my soul. Luckily I don’t have kids, but when I’m around my nephews and one of them says they have to “go potty” I hate it, every time.

One hour of Gameboy every other day. We had Tetris (of course), Super Mario Land 1 (the Egypt themed one) and 2 (the one with the big coins), Star Trek TNG, and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle. Maybe one or two others that I don’t recall. No other video game systems.

Movies, we weren’t allowed anything past PG until our late teens, and my mom was constantly trying to shove G-rated stuff down our necks. We saw Babe, Toy Story, and It Takes Two in the theater; I was 14 and way too old for that shit. We got Shirley Temple videos in our Easter baskets every year (we did not like Shirley Temple).

Basically we were way too sheltered. It was awful for my social life!

Is a bingle the same as a fender-bender?
