Cast iron Care: I make a steak, I wash pan with hot water (no soap) and use a brush on the pan to clean.

A friend of mine told me I should have Narcan on hand for my boyfriend who does coke sometimes. I'm firmly against it. He knows I hate when he does it and I don't want the emotional weight of carrying it around in my purse. Like, if he's going to do that, he should carry his own damn Narcan. Am the asshole? She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

Instead of forgiving student loans. I have a great idea for the govt to spend money. Give free AirPods and ashtrays to all the people on the subway who don’t seem to have neither.
