Before the article for Sorceress even loaded I knew I’d be into whatever was behind it because the url included “crazy-lesbian-romance-movie”. And then the headline had “lesbian witches” in it. THANK YOU FOR THIS GIFT.
Came for the cute bisexual in a hot pink tie, was not disappointed.
Was hoping “the deal with my nose” would be about why it’s stopped up but I’ll read this too 😉
Are we going to talk about the Katy Perry thing at some point? I honestly can’t decide how important or unimportant it is?? Or, like, what even matters anymore in terms of our time here on earth
i’m writing about it right now, pray for me
also same, regarding our time here on earth
I love how the Seattle jogger lady has adopted Not Today Motherfuckers as her catchphrase and is using it willy nilly and now saying that to the hate groups who tried to use her story.
Like I don’t think I’ve ever read the word ‘motherfuckers’ so many times in a regular news story before, and I approve.
I love her. A hero in so many ways. Kicks a rapist’s ass then kicks some bigot ass. Not today motherfuckers indeed!
Damn right
Fuck you, Alabama Republicans.
…But that article about noses was super cool. Judging by the schnoz on my baby bro, our ancestor were reeeeeeeal chilly.
For years I’ve joked about having “northern hemisphere” nostrils while living in a warm and sticky southern hemisphere country. My partner has proper southern hemisphere nostrils, she has no trouble breathing easily during the heat of summer, I spend summer with a bunged up hooter and the feeling of never being able to get enough of what little bit of air is circulating.
So, many a true word etc….
Now that I think about it, the fact that my ancestors — and thus my nose — are from a cold, damp climate (Scotland) is probably why hot, dry air (from a car heater, for example) makes me feel like I’m asphyxiating.
Also, summers in Texas are Not Fun, but I suspect that’s less about my nose and more about Texas.
