Today's walk to work is brought to you by a sedan with an enormous branch caught under its back bumper that dragged it noisily for about two blocks without a care in the world. May we all be so unbothered

Unless he is currently drafting legislation to make that kind of extended, in-patient mental health care freely accessible to all his constituents, he can think positive thoughts, pull himself up by his bootstraps, and get back to work like the rest of us

The discomfort is coming from inside you. You don't have to unpack and overcome it, it's your life, but assigning a nefarious desire to FORCE their DISGUSTING FETISH on your innocent, nonconsenting eyes to some poor director is so immature and asinine. Let your discomfort be a private issue, please.

I'm tired of this topic, but more generally, I'm tired of people experiencing discomfort and looking for someone to blame. Sex is normal, sex in movies is normal, other people having sex you wouldn't have, or making choices you wouldn't make, or living a life you wouldn't want to live, is normal.

Today's walk is brought to you by: why?

It's just galling that you hear this shit about air conditioning being "selfish" and "unnecessary" even from leftists who should fucking know better

I'll have to try it!

I like making my own salad dressing at home, but I know it's not that hard to make a good shelf-stable vinaigrette that isn't just sugar because I've tried plenty of them!

We got a new salad bar at work and I'm mad because the veggies are so good, but the dressings are terrible. The regular ones are pure sugar and the vinaigrette ones taste like water. They have a lemon, garlic, and basil one that looks so good, but it just made my salad greasy and added zero flavor

If people put half as much energy into making whole foods and fresh produce accessible and realistic to prepare as they did to concocting smear campaigns about Subway's bread because they don't understand chemistry and refuse to try, we would live in a much different world.

As horrifying as that is, I'm glad the official response was "Okay, now nobody's allowed to do it, because some of you can't be cool. Do not test us." instead of "Well, there's no proof, so I guess it's not a real problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

As a recovered alcoholic, you mostly reap those benefits after quitting if you were drinking way too much. If you're not noticing changes, congratulations - you're probably drinking a normal amount that isn't destroying your body and sanity! I hope you enjoy your upcoming cocktail!

Today's walk is brought to you by a big patch of fleabane I found along the sidewalk that I'm going to use to make tea! (Disclaimer: I believe in modern medicine and am not attempting to treat any condition with sidewalk weeds. I just think foraging is neat.)

But like, in a way where I don't know if she really believes that kind of thing or if it's just because she grew up in Kentucky, you know? Is it worth saying something, and what do I say? Or do I just have to leave it alone and apologize behind her back?

I see what you're saying, but I think the broader point is that we can argue over what punishments are appropriate for criminal or immoral behavior, but we cannot allow sexual/gendered violence to be seen as an appropriate punishment for anyone in any circumstances. It's always wrong, full stop.

I'm a firm disbeliever in conspiracy theory Matrix bullshit, but I have to admit this one makes me nervous

I'm really sorry that happened to you, but God, that is kind of the funniest possible time and place for that to happen, unfortunately

Today's walk is brought to you by IT'S HOT. IT'S HOT AND IT'S HUMID AND IT'S LIKE WALKING THROUGH A BOWL OF SOUP

I put on bugspray to go for a walk near a pond, and I had to take TWO showers to get the stink off me. I would literally rather just get bitten by mosquitoes.

The drag show was phenomenonal and I have about 17 pamphlets for upcoming events and potential volunteer opportunities. It's batshit crazy that after getting appropriate mental health treatment, it turned out I'm actually an extrovert
