House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation

my favorite thing about bill maher is that he gets visibly angry at his audience when his jokes flop. just an absolutely dogshit comedian.

Imo there's such a thing as cool girl autism. ie. as a woman you look closed off and aloof to others because of like, your looks or presentation mixed with being smart or good at something. But it's a less a conscious cope, more of just the way you come across because of being deeply awkward...

update: eating an entire block of cheese is ill-advised from a health perspective, and deep frying it before hand doesn’t help
hot honey gets a lot of hate, but it has its uses. for example, drizzled on these halloumi fries, some hot honey would be perfect
