Maybe they don't believe in organic food the way they don't believe in Santa Claus.

According to her website: "rhymes with 'rectal'".

I'm so happy for her. DTWOF was a lifeline for me in the early 1990s when I was figuring out my sexuality. Those characters were my community.

My mom went to CofC. I was so proud of them for using the book.

Fun Home is even better.

Dykes to Watch Out for is amazing. Read them all, if you can find them. She has some of them on her website, but most of them are collected in Essential Dykes to Watch Out For.

They absolutely did. I remember Dykes to Watch Out For did a strip on it.

During the whole graham cracker brou-ha-ha, my 11-year-old son (who has inherited my politics and my sense of humor, God help him) took a bite of a Honey Maid and announced, "I like men now!" God, I love that kid.

That one made me nervous, too. I don't know a whole lot about dog behavior, but even I know you do not mess with a dog's food while he's eating. The person taping that instead of putting the baby out of harm's way is a moron.

My uncle babysitting me got me drunk when I was two. I would have been better off with the dog.

Yikes!

That one really gets to me because my great grandmother used to work there. She wasn't there the day of the fire, thank God, or I might not exist!

That's pretty cool. Has it been published? I'd probably enjoy it. Have you read about the Texas City disaster? It's a similar event that happened in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947. Another one that gets me because of its scale (over 1000 deaths) and relative obscurity is the fire on the General Slocum. It was the…

I get that. I have an anxiety disorder and a fear of crowds, so reading about things like Hillsborough is a strange sort of masochism for me. Have you ever seen the footage of the Bradford City Stadium Fire? It's insane. Half the stadium is going up in flames, as narrated on live TV by the sports commentators, and…

Actually, the first time I'd ever heard of the explosion was when I visited the Halifax Museum more than a decade ago. The exhibit was fascinating.

"I'm in it for...the cannibalism" sounds so much more disturbing taken out of the context of your comment.

Devil in the White City is fascinating and horrifying. I have never been able to shake the image of that girl's footprint etched into the door of the vault. Chilling.

Definitely. And the New London School explosion. It's like a sickness, and Wikipedia is a total enabler.

I watched that video more than once. I just can't tear myself away from things like that. And the Hartford Circus Fire, with that pictures of the unidentified little girl? Chilling. I also got a bit obsessed with human stampedes like the Victoria Hall Disaster or Hillsborough. I get into very morbid moods where I…

Oh, God, me too! Especially when I start on specific searches like female serial killers or fillicides. It's creepy and disturbing as hell, but I can't help myself sometimes. I get the same way about disasters, too, both man-made and natural. Things like the Halifax Explosion or the Bath School Disaster or the Iroqu…
