abrakapokus was just talking about this last night. It's the same old thing repackaged as something totally different. John Oliver did a really good segment on it if you haven't seen.
i feel like it's still a BIG thing, at least with people i know (mostly girls i went to high school with peddling things on facebook). i've had to unfollow so many people that i actually like and respect in real life, because that's all they talk about now. even one of the housewives is using her mom blog to sell young living oils.
Oi, someone I respect and love is hassling me into joining her multi level marketing venture. How/whyyyyy is this still a thing, in 2018?

I stopped following a bunch of people, but I have discovered that if you don't post much on facebook, you don't get those type of solicitation. Or maybe I just cleaned up my friends that much.

She texted me about it. I ignored the first text, but then she texted me again a week or so later.
If it was just some random FB "friend" that I don't see in person ever, I would've just kept ignoring (as I do with others lol), but I see her at lots of things and she just came to my kiddo's birthday party. I politely declined joining up, but she hasn't replied to my text and I hope she's not taking it personally.

As I see the Vatican remain silent on (additional) pedophilia charges, and the American Protestant church continue to become a stooge to Trumpism, can anyone present a compelling counterpoint to atheism in our current society?
IMO religion is a cancer to be excised. I have struggled with this over the years, but the faithful have made it much, MUCH easier.

If it’s not the house it’s the dog. Waiting on Yoko at the vet right now because her eye looked like it was about to pop out of her head. Really hoping it’s not something serious. (Bright side: at least it’s happening now and not last week when we were in Denver!)

Oh God, sending good thoughts your way.
Our dog is in the last phase of her life. While almost nothing surprises me anymore, that definitely would. I can’t even imagine. Is she ok?

Thank you! It was apparently an allergy or something. They gave her a steroid shot and a Benadryl shot and sent us home. It was still a little swollen last night, but it looks completely normal this morning.
She’s got cataracts and takes drops to keep the pressure in her eyes down, so it really freaked me out when I looked down and saw her eye looking all crazy like that, but thankfully, it seems like this was just a pretty minor glitch.

Was roasting some hatch chilis and tomatillos for salsa. Didn't set a timer and got sucked into reading Harry Potter to the kiddo at bedtime. Charred the shiz out of all of em, stunk up the whole kitchen.
I hate Mondays, sometimes. There is something I have to prepare that is due this Friday, and I can't find the motivation or will-power to even start working on it. My mind is frozen.

Property management came today to inspect our apartment. Apparently having two kayaks in the spare bedroom, behind a bed is unacceptable. "We're not a storage building"
That sucks, I'm sorry. Remind me what you do again? Grad student?
Thanks. I’m a postdoc at UCSB.
Ah yes. I'm a grant research administrator at SDSU, all too familiar with the struggle. Grant research is a tough road, I feel for you. Even researchers who have done it for decades have trouble getting funded at times. Soft money sucks, and riding the tide is difficult. I hope it turns around soon!

Thank you! My current PI tells me that it's like you get 1 out of 10 applications, so I shouldn't feel bad and keep applying.
Or I'll just switch to industry after a couple of years of this.
I have a bad cold, which I get every year, but this time it’s accompanied by awful stomach pain, whyyyy?? I hate everything right now and just want the twisting in my guts to stahp

I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems the past week(+) with the Kavanaugh bullshit going on, but man I am almost to my breaking point. The misogyny that persists in this country is freaking maddening and exhausting. I hope the furor it's causing at least shines a bright light on things like this and they don't all just get swept away forever. It's been too painful, and it's been going on far too long.
