We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Motorcycle Diaries songwriter genuflecting before Prince was just about my very favorite moment of the entire evening. I made Hec rewind the TiVo five or six times for that one.

Merely, and without implication in other arenas, that it's unlikely to hear black women complaining about corporally punishing kids. The two sets are unrelated.
Yes. This. It's not about who is complaining that there isn't enough corporal punishment.
ita, read this today and laughed because I thought of you:

What is even happening?
I'm quite specifically not saying anything about them. Merely, and without implication in other arenas, that you're unlikely to hear black women complaining about corporally punishing kids. The two sets are unrelated.Yes, I read that as implicit from your original exchange with Kat. But it tickled me personally, because I remember the delight in my mother's face, when she related the story (and I remember years of spankings and stories about my Nana spanking her kids, etc., etc., etc.). Along with not generally hearing black women complaining about corporeal punishment, I am unlikely to hear people in my family ever complaining about it. I wasn't trying to make a thing, and didn't think you were, either. I was just tickled by it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Linda Obst at Slate posits this theory:
Hilary, who has become an "Oscar actress," a new category: someone who specializes in snagging Oscar-type roles and killing in them. If you get beat up beyond recognition and require more than six hours of make-up between setups, this is an automatic advantage.
'Cuz I was thinking how weird it is that Hilary has two Oscars and between them, Kate Winslet, Debra Winger and Annette Bening have zero. Ditto with Jodie Foster, who I like okay, but never considered one of the best actresses on the planet.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm trying to ID a bird I saw at lunch. It looks very much in body shape and flight like a carolina chickadee, but it was the most beautiful, delicate shade of light green with black and white wings and tail. Just lovely. And very friendly. Came and stood by me, looking at me while I was looking at her/him. The subtle green made me think it was a female, but maybe the females are more of a subtle green.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Fuck. I was making dinner, and heating up some tomato sauce in the microwave in a little glass bowl. As I was taking it out, I dropped it, and it shattered. So now my floor has a big splatter of tomato sauce, with both big pieces and shards of glass in it. How the hell am I supposed to clean this up? If I had a mop, I'd use that, then wait for the floor to dry, then sweep, but I only have a Swiffer and a broom. Any suggestions? If I were just sauce, I'd wipe it up, and if it were just glass, I'd sweep it, but I can't figure out how to clean up the combination.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ack, Hil. I'd use a shitload of damp paper towels.
"That was my Nicorette, bitch. Now I'm really going to have to hurt you."
Don't even joke.
Huh. So is it the color that makes them dragees and not nonpareils?

Hil, pick up the big pieces of glass and throw them out. Them very carefully use a wet rag, sponge, or big wad of papertowels to sop up the sauce and push the rest of the broken glass onto a dustpan. Just have a lot of protection between you and the glass and don't push too hard.
