i just saw a fb post where a man was arguing with a woman about the best way to make macarons and he kept insisting that she was wrong, and then eventually he was like “I’ve never personally made macarons, but if you think about it what I’m saying makes sense, i’m simply stating the obvious. i’m sure there are plenty of youtube tutorials that would show you the same thing.” and the woman replied by linking him to her instagram business page and she makes fuckin macaron towers for parties for a living and i’ve been laughing about it for a solid 5 minutes.
Men automatically assume they’re more of an expert on something than any woman on account of their dicks. I’ve never met such an ignorant and narcissistic creature as a male
I’ll never forget a time when a fb friend of mine posted that she’s on her way to hospital to give birth. Women commented with “good luck” and other encouraging messages. A man’s comment was advice on how to give birth.
You have got to be kidding me
So I was talking about Jekyll & Hyde (the book) at a writer’s museum while we were looking at an Robert Louis Stevenson exhibit. I was giving my take on Jekyll, and my brother tried to counter it. I countered back easily, and then he said “well I’ve never read the book”
My dude………..stop
my ex, whose baking experience was pretty much limited to frying premade biscuit dough in boy scouts to make ‘donuts’, would constantly try to correct me or give me advice on baking
i’m a fucking pastry chef
met a dude at a party who was talking about physics and asked if i’d ever listened to any online physics lectures bc he listened to all of this one series and they were so helpful and maybe i could learn some physics too
i have a degree in physics
and am a published coauthor in astrophysics
the best part is that the woman who invented the term ‘mansplaining’ (her name is Rebecca Solnit and i highly recommend her collection of essays) came up with it when she was at a party one night and a man tried to explain a book to her, and wouldn’t let her speak long enough for her to tell him that
she wrote the bloody book he was mansplaining to her
Just another reminder, guys: Tomorrow are the midterms. Go. Vote. Over here, the polls open at 6:30 AM and close at 7:00 PM. Check with your state and county and polls location to check when they open and close.
Also, make sure you bring all proper identification that you need to the polls. In Ohio, you have to bring a proper State or Federal form of identification or a utility bill or several other options of identification. Again, check your state and county requirements. You don’t want to show up unprepared. Most states also have measures that can be taken in the instance that you do happen to not have identification on you- make sure you look into that as well and where your state stands.
There are discounted Lyft and Uber rides to the polls. Make sure you look into that if you do not have transportation.
Listen. I know I’ve been on everyone’s asses about voting but it is so important. Your vote matters more than what you think it does. We do not need voter apathy right now. We need passionate voters who desire change. Staying home is not going to do shit.
Pissed with America’s current state? Vote. Angry that no one in office seems to give a fuck? Vote.

The Anxiety Table
You screwed up a perfectly good robotable is what you did. Look at it, it’s got anxiety.
The whole Pepsi commercial thing reminded me that people always mis-remember the famous flower in the gun barrel photo as being a young woman. It wasn’t. The photo, taken by Bernie Boston, is of George Edgerly Harris III better known by his stage name Hibiscus. He was a member of the San Francisco based radical gay liberation theater troupe the Cockettes. He died of AIDS in 1982 at the time AIDS was still referred to by the name GRID which stood for Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency. The photo was taken at a protest at the Pentagon.
