What follows is a slightly tidied-up version of my internal monologue upon reading about this in the news.
fat

COME ON AND RIDE THE GRANDMA-CHIC TRAIN WITH ME.
open thread
There's always the circus. Does the circus take in stray weirdos anymore? I could be the fat lady!
home appliances
Slow dancing, carbohydrates, and a spin cycle: it doesn't take much.
diets
Wrap yourself in rubber, bring a clean change of underpants and get ready to VIBRATE!
video games
No, I'm not just going to let it go, because I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS CRAP POLLUTING MY VIDEO GAMES.
fat
Would you publicly shame your fat-shamer?
issues
OKAY, so I liked the pink guns. I have become everything I despise.
lipstick
Including a cold-brew how-to, better hipster ketchup, documentary madness, drugstore lipstick I love and nerdy art-making. AND SO MUCH MORE.
LESLEY'S LIST: Seven (!) Marvelous Little Wonders Helping Me Keep To My Budget While Not Hating Life
game of thrones
Man, the professional waxers in Westeros must be making BANK.
do this don't
Hold on you guys because I am about to BLOW your MINDS with how awesome this look can be.
class
I have zero sympathy for wealthy hyperprivileged folks who want to complain that their public recreation area is being infested with unclassy outsiders. None.

And also I'm telling you about that time I accidentally shouted the f-word to my kindergarten classmates.
star trek
More like STAR TREK INTO SEXISM, AM I RIGHT?
food
Sometimes I buy food to just HAVE it, in the house, and to know it’s there, and that I'm prepared in a food-based emergency. A bit like responsible people who keep a fire extinguisher under the sink. Just in case.
politics
While I'm sure your political commentary is indeed incisive and cutting and generally luminous, maybe hold that brilliant analysis back for a day or two. One thing at a time.
fatshion
I literally spent ALL DAY assembling this list for you so YOU HAD BETTER APPRECIATE IT.
fat
Why do we allow a number to hold so much power over our self-perception?
open thread
I'm pretty sure I would eat bugs all the time if I was convinced they were delicious.
disney world
HAVE YOU BEEN OUTRAGED BY THIS YET? Unfortunately, you're probably angry for all the wrong reasons.
open thread
A new interactive map tracks "hate speech" on Twitter over the past year, and the results look pretty much how you'd expect. Which is exactly why I'm suspicious of them.
issues
Pretty much anytime someone I know lands a new book deal, after my initial feelings of being incredibly happy for them have abated, I think, “LESLEY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LESLEY WHY HAVEN’T YOU SOLD A SECOND BOOK YET LESLEY.” This is Erfolgtraurigkeit.
money
I'm only having nightmares pretty much every night and stockpiling ramen like I'm planning for the apocalypse. That's all.
open thread
Does anyone NOT like taking personality tests?
