Just a little (link) love: baby lion roar edition

Elsa Sjunneson-Henry’s “I Belong Where the People Are: Disability and The Shape of Water”: Of course society would rather imagine a disabled woman living under water with the only creature that has ever loved her, rather than imagining her above the waves, being loved and desired by the other humans in her life.

I love Stacking Pennies’s semi-DIY bathroom remodel.
Hip-hinging: I feel like this is maybe something we used to do when younger but I can’t remember.
Luxe and Teddy Luxband with only cash for groceries. I could not bring myself to try this 😉
This story about a serial “roommate” is horrifying. Vet people in a public place with references that you check and maybe even a background check OMG before letting them in your home, please.
Do you chase pennies like Penny and a few others of us do? Why or why not?
Am I the only person who has never heard of an egg log and is just fascinated by it? (rather than being horrified)
How do you define simple living?
With a system like this, it’s a shock that any guns ever get traced: This is the maddening, inefficient way gun tracing works, and there is no effort afoot to make it work any better. For all the talking we do about imposing new limits on assault weapons, or stronger background checks, nobody talks about fixing the way we keep track—or don’t keep track—of where all the guns are. I had NO idea things were this bad!
Oh man, that roommate story DID NOT end how I thought it would. I also wonder about the logic of the woman who decided to annoy him by being loud with her friends, yet stayed in the apartment that night. Hell naw!
But I’ve always been pro-roommate to save money, although you DO have to properly vet them. Nowaways with social media accounts, it’s a lot easier. And always ask to see the lease. I’ve been burned, because the lease holder was charging me twice as much as she should have. Never again.
I’m also oddly intrigued by that egg log…
I KNOW! My eyes kept getting wider the further I read! Absolutely agreed – it’s always important to read all the fine print.
That roommate story was what nightmares are made of. Thank goodness we don’t have to live with strangers any time soon and that I’m very good friends with my totally-not-sociopathic former roomies.
100%, my skin was crawling reading that story.
If there’s one thing I learned from the movie Pacific Heights, it’s to vet your roommates very carefully. I kept thinking about that movie throughout the article.
I haven’t seen it yet but I suspect it would trigger creepiness overload.
poor little lion
It’s so wee!
The roommate story is terrifying. Chills down my spine, I tell ya.
And I really thought tracing a gun was more like TV and movies.
I know – I thought that tracing a gun would be … less ridiculous!
