So cute!!! You definitely didn’t have an ugly phase ;)
That’s all up to the beholder! This was no doubt a boyishly charming phase. My middle brother called me Kurt Cobain pretty regularly from about age 12 until 15 or so.

but where are your socks and underwear?
I got a good laugh imagining all of those items on hangers.
Socks, underwear, tights and leggings are in hanging cubbies!

this will be the death of me! I’m in a throw everything out, and start over phase.
I’m inclined to post a bunch of unsolicited advice on organizing, except the truth is that historically, I’m not good at being organized in the physical world, and that has become a huge motivator for the...

OMG. This is perfect!! :)
Dang, thanks! This is pretty much ALL OF THE THINGS I own, in one room… aside from wardrobe and kitchen items, and arts/crafts/tools. With that said, wait until you see the closets (day 12) and bathroom cabinets (day 24). The dining/office nook will probably be posted...

In which I play a long-distance UX consultant.
Friend: Say you got an invitation to [website], but that invite expired or got used before you clicked on the link. You get served to a page that says oops that link is invalid.
Friend: Do you think its awful to have a sign up thing there? What is the correct thing to have them do?
Me: Well.
Me: First -- does the link HAVE to expire?
Friend: Well it's in the case that the invite has been used already... so, expired or somebody else redeemed it. That doesnt matter.
Me: So they're a new / referred customer but the link is dead. And it needs to keep them from being like, "eff this, goodbye."
Me: How about it doesn't even show an error...
Friend: I asked that, and then they were like what's the point of invites if we just let everybody in
Me: ...and just plain is like, "welcome aboard! you're just [x] steps away from [great {things}...]. Please enter your email address to get started."
Me: nobody wants to see an error. nobody cares about seeing an error, they just want to feel like they are getting in.
Me: So just usher them through and get whatever info you need without them knowing there was any sort of error.
Friend: hmmm. So apparently there can be two error cases.
Friend: 1. A person forwards the invite email to multiple people. Say 3 people click. Only one will get in. What do the other two see?
Friend: 2. A person that has already signed up clicks the invite link again because they forgot. Ugh. What a pickle.
Me: You ask for their email address. in 1's case, that will usher them in, no problem. In 2's case, you can set up an alert that says, "we already have that email address on file. Forgot your password?"
Friend: hmm I like that.
Friend: ...we can't let them [1] in. I think when we move to invite only there will only be a 48 hour window when people wont be members. If you sign up organically there will only be 48 hour wait.
Me: Is there a place to urge people not to send a referral link to bajillions of friends because it won't work that way?
Friend: right now we have the referral link but we are leaving that behind to move to invite only. Each person will have 3 invites.
Me: Otherwise just some kind of, "It looks like someone else has used this referral link. Please sign up here and we'll get you in by [day]."
Me: And a "don't worry!" somewhere in there.

“Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”....”
– (o.g above quote from angels-and-angles)
Not trying to knock the overriding thing about slutshaming +/ feminism (because they make a great point) but I have an issue with the terminology: Why is 3rd-wave feminism being applied to the pitfalls of 5th grade relationship lingo? It’s like trying to...

seagull:
“Really, conservatives just hate women. They resent the fact that we work, go to school, vote, everything. Their entire stance on birth control, abortions and social programs is a thinly veiled attempt to take us back to a time when we had less rights. Take away our birth control and we get pregnant. Take away our abortions and we have to keep the baby (in their minds, anyway). Take away...

Anonymous asked: If you had a daughter and she was going to go out to a party with guys drinking would you let her go out looking like a slut?
If the next generation has sons that are as repulsed by rape as they should be then we won’t need to worry about our daughter’s clothing. Hell, if we just make our generation shift the blame from the victim to the perpetrator and recognize rape as an act...

Awesome! I usually just use a glass jar but I want this!!! Thanks!
No problem! And on the drinking-from-jars note (if they’re mason jars or can take a mason jar lid), check out the Cuppow. They’re a bit backordered because demand > supply, but they serve a valid purpose for those who reuse...

What is that water jug?? Is it glass?
It’s a glass swing bottle. That particular one is from Ikea. You can find them at the Container Store and at most kitchen / home supply stores, but the majority of mine are from Lorina Sparkling Lemonade bottles. I fill them with water and keep them in a wine rack...

Put your phone away or they’ll kick you out!
Ohhh I know it! It was snapped well before their cell phone use warning time. I was there extra early; they were showing silent film shorts in the meantime.
