Squirrel foot earrings - I'd be tempted to get those for my mother, only I think it'd be a waste of money and she wouldn't get it.

I love the gender dynamics in Steph's relationship.
Word.

And here I was about to post about the crazed squirrels I apparently work with and their inability to understand the meaning of the word final.
Condolences to Bev & Matt.

They're strictly appearance-based (i.e., he wears heels and I generally don't; he comes home from work and puts on a dress and I come home from work and put on yoga pants).
When it comes to gender dynamics in action, I make him kill large bugs and open jars.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Know what's good at opening jars? Apart from your SO, I mean. Those Livestrong et al. bracelents. Perfect size for adding traction to the twisting.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, it's the traction/friction (men's hands tend to be rougher) that opens the jar.

Anyone know the name of the MIT electrical engineering professor who revolutionized the making of cheerios in the 1970s?
Me neither, and I've been looking for an hour and a half.

Best thing I ever got for opening a jar is this plastic thingie that's similar to a bottle opener except it has a wide oval at the top, designed to hold it steady on jar lids. Pops the lids just enough to release the seal.
Best three bucks I ever spent on kitchen equipment.

My aunt had small sheets of rubber for the purpose of opening jars. She referred to them as her rubber husbands.
She also didn't realize how exactly that might sound until I gave a wide-eyed response.
