At some point in the last few years doing Official Banking Things went from making me feel like I was a twelve year old playing dress up and for some reason getting away with it to making me feel more competent and responsible and in-control.

It probably has something to do with the mortage. Not so much that after a mortgage, everything else seems like peanuts, but because I spent years expecting someone to say “Shit, we didn’t mean to let you buy this house! You’re a kid! It was a joke! It’s all a big mistake, we can’t believe you thought it was real, you have a month to move to a shitty apartment.” 

It’s now been almost seven years of that not happening, so it’s starting to sink in that maybe, just maybe, I’m a Grown Up where these things are concerned.

Or, y’know, everyone else is just as secretly bewildered inside as me. That’s likely, too.

I wonder if becoming an adult is about reaching the point when trying to do something financial or bureaucratic is more “oh god, this again”, as opposed to just “oh god” (my former reaction to these things).

You play D&D? I seriously doubt that. I bet you don’t even know what dice are.

Wait wait wait so you’re telling me

That these things aren’t elaborately shaped slightly mathematical candies?

I’m still gunna check

shit

AS WE ALL KNOW, WE WOMEN CANNOT UNDERSTAND COMPLICATED THINGS LIKE DICE

ONLY MANLY MEN KNOW WHAT DICE ARE

SOME OF THEM HAVE AS MANY AS TWENTY SIDES. HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND TWENTY SIDES?

twenty sides and not one single one is a stove or ironing board

This is amazing

The fact that this post is still alive and kicking is hysterical

D&D? What strange acronym is this? Dishes & Dicks? Because us women only know how to do those.

I’m reblogging not just because I’ve been playing D&D since the 70s but mostly for the Dishes & Dicks comment.  Because that’s fucking priceless.

“gay marriage is legal, what more do YOU PEOPLE want????”

so many things, thanks for asking!

• an end to conversion therapy for gay and trans youth
• repeal of laws which legalize discrimination against lgbt+ people if it’s derived from “sincerely held religious beliefs”
• recognition and protection for lgbt+ people on the international stage

• reduction in the rates of suicide, depression, and homelessness among lgbt+ people
• to be able to google ‘lesbian’ without seeing pornography

• an end to the sexualization and fetishization of lgbt+ people in general, particularly wlw and transwomen

legislation to add workplace protections for trans and gay people in all 50 states

repeal of “bathroom bills” that bar trans folk from using the appropriate rest rooms

recognition and remembrance for the countless individuals who died from HIV/AIDS and repartitions for the survivors

an end to the “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses

media representation that doesn’t end with the characters’ deaths

marriage equality was not the finish line.

We’ve spent an hour discussing and reading about it and we still don’t know what exactly “pudding” means to British people

The explanations on
this post all basically seem to amount to “nobody knows.” I mean I can
wrap my head around it meaning “dessert,” or maybe “mushy things eaten
with a spoon” but there seem to be exceptions of every combination.I mean, just so we’re clear, pudding has ONE definition in America:

It’s flavored, thickened milk. Period. It can come in any flavor but it’s all immediately recognizable, eaten with a spoon or as pie filling.

When both a cake and a damn SAUSAGE can be called “pudding,” it’s time to give up and admit everything
in the UK is pudding. The sky is pudding. The people are pudding. They
drive their puddings to work at the pudding where they earn 11 puddings a
pudding. Sometimes it puddings pudding on pudding and the pudding
puddings, but that’s okay, pudding doesn’t mind because pudding
p??u???????d??d????i???n???????g?

p?????u?????d????d????????i????n??????g???????????

p???????????????u???????????????d?????????????????d???????????????i????????????????n?????????g????????????

‘course coming from this perspective, you can understand why American pudding is such a disappointment to me.
