@NomeDaBarbarian I will grant this take for the flaky variety. For the more crumbly kind, it takes less than 2 minutes to zhuzh the dough together and drop it with a spoon on a baking sheet

Still have it and still listen to them regularly

Screw your astrological sign. Tell me the first album you bought with your own money. No cheating. As proof I'm telling the truth and it might surprise you: *NSYNC's No Strings Attached

I am doing my best not to absolutely lose my shit, but how in the fuck do you publish a profile of the leader of Students for Life and not once mention that they want to make birth control illegal?

@maimonides_nutz Get Loew, but mostly because I absolutely love it

This past month has been excruciating, including the q of how public to be with our story. We’re not that interesting of a family. Except our state is targeting us.

When Parents Hear That Their Child ‘Is Not Normal and Should Not Exist’ ⁦@nytimes⁩ https://t.co/Uk18U2q290

I'm not exaggerating. The 30 years that the Hays Code was in place kept us, as a society, from recognizing that being gay was a normal, existing thing, that a percentage of society was gonna be gay no matter how we tried to pretend they didn't exist. 15/

[Katharine Coldiron 🌟 @ferrifrigida]

Anyone longing for a return to the Hays Code doesn't understand any of this - hasn't read their Plato & Baudrillard, hasn't seen pre-Code movies, doesn't comprehend the damage & danger of this kind of society-wide repression. I mean look at the insane symbology of this ad 11/

@mckellogs Omg we had a glass coffee table & when we moved it got stored with my parents & my mom went to like really clean it. She gently put it at an angle on the driveway & it IMMEDIATELY splintered into 500 sharp pieces. Luckily she was fine, but we’ve never had a glass table again

I just made my punk/emo baby high school self so happy

[Shannon Mohrman @SandMonster11]

I guess I never knew what this dipshit looked like, but based on his super toxic alpha male shit I assumed he was like, at least attractive or something? This weird loser looks like the creepy fucking sad kelp monsters in Ursula’s garden in the Little Mermaid

@spindlypete This is literally why I avoid Houston’s light rail and we are so close to a couple stations!

[Ariel Dumas @ArielDumas]

Hey just so you know, on Saturday night, someone ripped the mezuzah off our door frame, tore out the prayer scroll, and chucked both down the hallway.

This stuff is happening to people you know and love. And if you’ve experienced it yourself, please know you’re not alone.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Thank you to @CAPAction for pulling together these powerful stories. Is this really the future we want America?
Land of the free?
Not like this.

[Grumpy Root Beer @Atepsflame]

Anyone who has known even just one trans person has known what hot bullshit this panic is from the jump. Even for adults with all the resources in the world this is a years long process. It is simply not true that anyone just decides to transition and the next day gets surgery.

I did my first kickflip today since breaking my femur 7 months ago.
It was difficult.
It was painful.
It was sloppy.
It was [possibly] payback for me harassing strangers to do the same.
But it was gratifying beyond words.
Find your metaphorical kickflip and don’t quit on it.

Happy 68th Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.

She is younger than 41 senators and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

The past isn’t past.

Elon Musk doesn't come to me for advice on how to fail to buy Twitter, and I don't go to him for film, TV or literature criticism.

I have a scar on my shoulder from some birdshot that hit me when I was ten, but I/my parents didn’t actually know I had been shot for over a month

[Eric Bailey @EricVBailey]

tell me a true, one-sentence story from your life that absolutely opens more questions than it answers and demands further context

i'll start -- i once saw a kid have a (small) chunk of his leg torn off by a piece of playground equipment
