You seem good at combining patterns, maybe a bolster pillow with donut pillows at each end and a poster tube for the handle? Not sure how you’d attach that, and probably better not cover the handle with crochet or it’ll slip around.

Guess you’ll have to bring fresh-baked cookies to work then, for cover. And also sharing. Pro tip: make them large, then break a few in half, depending on the gender splits in your workplace. Women who would like a cookie but feel guilty because of norms about dieting will happily take a half. Or maybe break off a quarter. But they won’t break one if none are already broken. Most men will enjoy taking a whole one because diet norms don’t apply to them. A few people will enjoy virtuously refusing them because vegan or keto or something. Nobody will notice you smell like vanilla.

If you’re not a baker, or you have a friend with celiac, Rice Krispy Bars also have vanilla and are gluten free.

Original? You smell like my dad. I’m 65. Still a great scent though. As a little girl I’d dab it behind my ears for perfume.

You guys don’t get it. Those products smell like that to appeal to women. If anyone even notices you smell like a woman, the obvious inference is that you have a girlfriend. Or at least spent the night with a woman. If it’s dilute enough to not really be noticeable, women will just find it appealing. Vanilla in particular is non-gendered, what you smelled like was a cookie!

If you had it on “sanitize” the surfactants in the softener would probably loosen enough of the food and the extra-hot rinse would get it all off and kill the germs so you’d be okay except maybe for burnt lasagna.

Yes, as noted, and there’s a separate entry for Stormé

More microplastics?

Don’t be in such a hurry to meet Jesus, Senator, because He’s going to cast you into the flaming pit you’ve been digging your whole life with every act of greed and heartlessness.

She’s frantically busy saving/trying to save lives as a doctor in the same hospital, one of very few still running.

Iirc, it’s the same hospital his mom, who is also a doctor, works at. So they have each other at least.

From Wikipedia:

A scuffle broke out when a woman in handcuffs was escorted (read “dragged”) from the door of the bar to the waiting police wagon several times. She escaped repeatedly and fought with four of the police, swearing and shouting, for about ten minutes. Described as “a typical New York butch” and “a dyke–stone butch”, she had been hit on the head by an officer with a baton for, as one witness claimed, complaining that her handcuffs were too tight.[66] Bystanders recalled that the woman, whose identity remains unknown (Stormé DeLarverie has been identified by some, including herself, as the woman, but accounts vary[67][note 4]), sparked the crowd to fight when she looked at bystanders and shouted, “Why don’t you guys do something?” After an officer picked her up and heaved her into the back of the wagon,[70] the crowd became a mob and became violent.

Emphasis and parentheses mine. Stormé was biracial and androgynous

Thanks for editing not deleting because TIL!

That’s all true, but getting together to sing and dance helps form the family who has your back when the violence starts. And in times of deep threat, it reminds everyone of the world you’re fighting for.

Keep it up.

Modern fish are often dark on top and light underneath to fool prey/predators but also often colorful. Why do they assume one evolutionary step over the other? That beautiful blimpie belly calls out for decoration!

That’s correct according to the “at conception” crowd! Why have silly words like “embryo” and “fetus” when you can just call it a “baby” or “person” and give it the same complete lack of medical and financial assistance as the born children and people in your red states?

Which makes this statement from the present board courageous in that they too could get fired.

But yeah, your ice cream $$ goes to Unilever.

Actually it’s the independent board of B&J, which has the right to speak out on social issues under their contract with Unilever. The retired founders themselves have also spoken out about the Gaza genocide, separately.

Here’s another source, which gives a pretty good breakdown of the corporate situation, despite being a Jewish publication. Perhaps because a lot of Jews are against what Israel has been doing. As they note, Ben and Jerry are themselves Jewish.

Okay, so playing D&D could be helpful to a child interested in a nursing career? Getting the arithmetic fully automatic, since they also have a lot of other details to think about.
