This seems like a volume problem. How many dishes are you washing at a time? I do the dishes after every meal so it’s never a lot at once.

'Cause I’m not planning on going solo

Whiskey. Over two decades later and I still can’t stand it.

This is dumb but I never realized how much of her face Liza Minelli got. It’s like she did a parthenogenesis.

Aww Gus gus knows he’s a star

If I were single and they* were secure, then sure. I really feel for a lot of trans people because I know the transition can cause a lot of insecurity. And that’s absolutely valid and I don’t want to be unfeeling about it, but at the same time I know myself and I don’t want a partner who is insecure and potentially overly emotionally needy, because I’m not good at providing that kind of support. So I’d be fine dating a trans person who is confident and secure, no matter where in the transition the person is.

* I say ‘they’ because I’m fine dating either men or women, not because I want to invalidate anyone’s gender :)

I just took mine off and now nothing else can happen tonight.

That’s because sighthounds have teeny tiny dried up corn kernels for brains :)

The exurbs are far-out suburbs - the part of the suburbs that peter out as the rural area begins. I don’t know if that makes sense for this post because I don’t understand this post even a little bit, but perhaps that’s what OP meant with “ex-urban”?

Late Gen X / early Millennial is called a Xennial. We’re characterized as having been born in a largely analog world and coming of age as consumer technology became more prevalent. I think it informally encompasses 1977-1983.

I was born in '81 and graduated high school in '99. I grew up hearing that I was Gen X, the slacker generation, the whatever generation, the generation where trying was uncool. And that’s exactly the experience I had. I was an adult before I ever heard the term ‘millennial’ and I don’t identify with it at all, though technically I’m on the cusp. Xennial does seem to fit though.

The best thing about a colonoscopy is that once it’s over, you’ve got a decade until your next one.

When the cat

There’ll be a paw

It’ll be 25 years this week!

This is super cute 🐷🩷

Dawww 😊

French and Spanish only at my first high school (NJ), and French, Spanish, and German at my second high school (PA so the inclusion of German makes sense).

Gus gussssss!!

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.
