I worked at TABLE Boston serving their $125 meatloaf & hash browns and one time a man walked past with a dog and the dog barked and Jen Royle rushed outside and started screaming at the dog “FAKE BARKS! THAT NEVER HAPPENED! GO DO SOME YOGA, FAKE DOG!”

Two things:
1) “women authors were unheard of”? Really? The Brontës? Mary Shelley? Agatha Christie? Maya Angelou? Virginia Woolf? Harper Lee?
2) ‘trans issues aside’ isn’t a reasonable position in light of what she’s saying. HOW can they be brushed aside? They’re a PROBLEM.

I. I. Me. Mine. “I don’t see it as a problem, because as long as I’m not at risk or anyone I personally know, it’s not a problem.”
It’s really, really difficult to convey just how far you need to shove that opinion up inside your own bowels.
@MLE_Online
My favourite feature is googling something, and none of the top results contain the words you’re looking for; so you put the important term in quotes to say THIS IS WHAT I ABSOLUTELY WANT and Google goes “ah! But that about ✨these✨ instead?” 🥴

It’s one for each of the planets, obviously. This information is out of date now - since Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet in 2006, you only get 8 menstruations a year and one tummy ache that goes away after a big burp.

This young gentleman wore not just tank tops with the shirt buttoned all the way up, but was once INSISTENT on wearing it with a tie OUTSIDE of the tank top “so everyone can see it”

This might seem super-specific, but: I went to a drum clinic with Chad Smith of RHCP. He grew up poor and his dad stole empty tubs from Baskin-Robbins so he could play on them. Now he’s famous, he gets free drum kits. He doesn’t need them NOW. He needed them *then*.

…because he paid $850k in a court settlement. Rather than, for example, syphoning money through his lawyer for a cash payment and then later reimbursing himself from campaign funds. One is literally a court proceeding and the other is proceeding to court.

Have you bought the book, read the entire book, and then checked the sources & bibliography? Because otherwise it seems like you’re both-sidesing this to humanise a man trying to blackmail a woman into ‘knowing her place’ 🤔

wrote a *great* article on exactly this point:
I publicly apologise to Romaric Philogène and Qovery for assuming that a formal event they hosted would not support diversity efforts in tech.
I am also sorry that they felt insulted by a subtweet that was addressed at people in general not making an effort to support diversity.

Yes you are correct no pilot or doctor or lawyer should ever have a sense of humour or ever do anything on social media that betrays the fact that they are anything but automatons for their jobs.

The first thing my mind sprang to in the moment was ‘Genocide aside, Hitler was a vegetarian & nice to his dogs’, but invoking Godwin’s Law kind of kills the point. Manson was a better choice.

Honestly, some therapists should be absolutely nowhere near people. (Told mine I realised was on the verge of depression because I *could not* console a friend about her messy divorce: “ah, because you’re in love with her? It’s just a phase. You’re cured!” - first session 🥴)

‘This is just ine view’ implies this is an opinion. It wasn’t a fucking OPINION that she died of COVID. jfc. The destruction of people’s ACTUAL LIVES is infinitely more important than making sure Alan Sugar gets his office rent. Get in the sea.
This is kind of mind-blowing: a bunch of grifters figured out how to run the Winter Wonderland scam the rest of the year as a ‘Willy Wonka’ experience. I googled the company (House of Illuminati) and their whole site is AI garbage. Then I found the site for the actual event… 🧵

Calling 911 for a non-emergency is not only not ‘right’, it may result in felony charges. And you’d think, being a lawyer, they’d have known this. But I guess being a reactionary terf overrode those logic circuits 🤷🏻♀️

A while ago a friend gave me a *great* answer for this:
“Because it makes me feel good about myself.”
It’s not defensive, it has no negative connotations, and it brooks no further questions.

Sometimes when people see Muffin limp into the kitchen, they ask what’s wrong with his paw. The answer is: nothing. Sometimes he just doesn’t like to touch the kitchen floor.

The first HP book was published in 1997. Although, yes, a lot of *classical* women authors did publish anonymously or pseudonymously, JK Rowling didn’t magically make women visible in publishing 3 years before the millennium.
Just rewatched Encanto and I can’t believe I didn’t notice before, but in the song ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ they do, in fact, talk about Bruno almost constantly. Absolute gaffe. Totally destroyed the credibility for me. Zero stars.

Only if you do the exact same thing within the same deadline since, just like Dr. Allin-Khan, you are ALSO not a person who is immediately expected to lead the country at this very moment. Unlike Johnson, who IS, with all the aptitude of a wet cake.

Are you… shaming people for getting old? Because a lot of these ‘older’ photos are definitely framed to make people look their worst and the ‘younger’ pictures are mostly glamour shots. So I’m just wondering why you thought this would be cool.

I never saw (your) Avatar when it was first on TV, but I’ve been powering through the series on Netflix - currently on season 3 episode 13 and honestly this show is so, *so* good on so many levels. Bravo.

It’s weird to me that so many are saying that it’s actually *taught* as a ‘consciousness’ thing. I don’t know dick about science, but I figured (incorrectly?) it’s the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: measuring the thing messes with it because of how you do it (i.e. photons)...?
