Friday confession: I still love the shit out of this song and will probably listen to it all day at work.

I’m going to miss this show.

[ladyk]

Me too. Damn you ABC.

Mild case of PTSD here post-Texas trip.

Texas was full of guns everywhere I went. Christmas presents, AK-47's on the couch at home, my uncle has become a federal arms dealer since I saw him last, and I nearly shot myself while digging through the center console of my mom's car looking for her phone charger and found my hand gripped around a small handgun trigger with the barrel aimed straight at me. Responsible gun ownership FTW.

I handled it as well as possible for the most part.

I started breaking about 5 days into the trip when the Maury show was on the tv in a podunk burger diner my family and I were eating at, and my parents started riffing off of each other that we don't need gun control in this country, we need Obama to take trash like the Maury Show off of TV because it incites more violent thoughts  than any gun availability to consumers ever could.

The conversation got heated, but there's just no point in trying to argue against a ridiculous point like that. Apparently I am just very naive as to the power Obama has to come into their house, break the lock on their 4'x4'x6' gun safe, and take all their weapons away.

On a different note, my mom was telling my aunt at Christmas dinner that the company that checks my grandmother's pacemaker remotely over the phone semi-regularly had gone out of business last summer because of the new Obamacare laws being in place. This absence of the company was a huge stress on my mom's life apparently. I verified that the company she uses is the same company that I use (I have a pacemaker as well that I get checked over the phone), and then I got really confused because I just had a phone-checkup with them less than a month ago. My mom told me that was impossible and I had no idea what I was talking about because Obama put them out of business.

Oh, ok.

Thankfully I escaped in one piece. And zoomed up to week 4 in C25K in the process as getting out of the house and running around was the only escape I had from the insanity some days. So one positive came from this trip I suppose.

There is a German word, Kummerspeck, that means “the excess weight gained from emotional eating” and that translated literally means “grief bacon.” And this, friends, is the perfect stock photo to illustrate that.

[closetextrovert]

The polar opposite of “women laughing alone with salad”

[imathers]

I literally cannot wait to be able to use “grief bacon” in a conversation. “Oh hey, you’ve put on a little weight.” “Yeah, I’ve had a lot of grief bacon recently.”

[ladyk]

This phrase makes me so happy. I will still probably go home and eat some of the cherrywood smoked maple bacon currently residing in my fridge today regardless.

When trapped in the closet first started coming out circa 2005, I remember being SO INCREDIBLY FASCINATED BY IT.  I remember procuring the chapters 1-12 DVD when it came out and made every single person I knew at that time sit on my couch and watch it, and THEN watch the commentary version immediately after. Everyone pretty much thought I was insane. I've kept up through the years and have eagerly waited for new chapters. I attended a Trapped in the Closet sing-along and dance party a-la Rocky Horror Picture Show this past weekend.

I am so completely consumed with the hype at the moment that I can barely stand it.

BFF recently suddenly fell enamored with Jamie Lidell, one of my all time fav loves. Guy is so insanely talented I can't even believe he actually exists in real life some times.

This prompted me to remember the existence of this video. Best way to start a Monday.

Dear America,

Just wanted to thank you for not fucking up this amazingly progressive and fully-bipartisan backed state-wide healthcare exchange program for us.

THE FUTURE FINALLY LOOKS SLIGHTLY PROMISING.

great way to make sure that all the people who work for you continue voting democratic! (psst, john: fyi, they outnumber you at the polls by A LOT!)

“i have an idea… let’s keep them all barely scraping by paycheck to paycheck — wait, no, let’s make their lives even TIGHTER — that’ll teach them that republicans really do have their best interests at heart!” *facepalm*

This man famously said that complying with the ACA would raise the average cost of his pizzas by 29 cents. Not that it would make him go broke. Not that it would put him out of business. That it would raise the cost of producing a pizza by less than half a dollar.

If he were only concerned with his profits, he would have simply raised the price of pizza by a buck, fully absorbed the cost and raising his profit margin, and he’d still have a stick to beat the Affordable Care Act with (“it’s the reason your pizza costs more”).

This? This is just mean-spirited. He’s covering his costs in a way that hurts everyone. This is a step beyond the robber baronism of earlier decades or the corporate autocracy of recent ones. It’s a toddler-worthy tantrum being played out by a captain of industry at the expense of a nation-wide workforce. It’s cutting off other people’s noses to spite one’s face.

[snow-vix-deactivated20251206]

See, I don’t get this thought train. Now he’s going to get a bunch of people (like me) who won’t buy his pizzas any more because he took out political anger on employees. The smart thing would have been to raise prices, then run an ad campaign saying “Yes, our prices are going up, but the extra money you’re paying is giving our employees health insurance.” Do you know how many more people would flock to them then?

[karnythia]

Yep, my husband & I were just talking about how he could have turned this into a blockbuster for his business (which is struggling in our area & now the local store will probably go under since this is Chicago and Papa John’s is already trying to box with the Pizza Gods), instead of generating so much bad publicity.

Dear women who don't believe right-wing women hate themselves, 

Proof that some of you actually do hate yourselves in some of the most disgusting, mislead, nonsensical, and WOW DO WE EVEN LIVE ON THE SAME PLANET??? kind of ways.

Watch this video. And if you see nothing wrong here, do this country a favor and PLEASE move to Australia or Antarctica or whatever.

So Colorado just legalized marijuana.

The amendment also states that the first chunk of taxes profited from it goes to public education.

So essentially the most liberal bill of all time just passed.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY COUNTRY

CAN GOOD NEWS LIKE THIS REALLY EXIST

[rubyvroom]

all it took was the economy crashing and people finally figuring out you can tax that shit. XD

[ladyk]

HOLLA.

I don't even partake in marijuana, and I am super proud to have been a part of this.
