This story is terrifying! I’m so sorry your parents didn’t believe you.

Do you have more examples? I’m a fan of RJ but your comment gave me pause. Genuinely curious. 

I will deeply miss Mimi Parker’s art. She had the most beautiful voice and I owe a lot to Low, which have seen me through some shit with their music.

“But back then I thought it was exciting because I was horny. ?!?!???!??!?!” NGL I loled. Too relatable. But also: I’m so glad you’re alive!

I sometimes think of the old stories, too. Who remembers the gas station “kid”? It scared me half to death when it arched itself like a giant cat!

Lol at the Nev Campell... pause.

OK I need that recipe, please!

I have to work Wed and Thurs and it feels extremely stupid. I got some biographical comics for Christmas and already read Rebecca and Lucie by Pasqual Guirard and I fully recommend it! I’m watching Jon Wilson’s docuseries and it’s basically everything to me right now. Not seeing family wasn’t as hard as I anticipated,…

This is so fucking real world scary. I’m SO glad you are rid of this fucker.

WHAT. NO.

I’m in a bit of a similar pickle in that I am beginning the manuscript for a big book project based on my life. Originally, it was mainly going to be focussed on a love relationship, but looking at things from an outside perspective (as much as I can) I now see that some other relationships I had at the time were as…

I love a good critique of a show’s wardrobe, especially when it’s as iconic as Sex and the City’s. It reminds me of when Tom and Lorenzo did the Mad Men costume blog and it was basically my everything. I have never looked the connection between character and clothing the same way.

How about a trigger warning?

I’m so sorry. These things are just such a burden to bear.

I’m 90 percent sure I have endo. I am in my late 30s and for years I have had extremely painful cramps that can start up to 10 days prior to my period as well as periods that last up to 9 days, the bleeding is so heavy. But what can my doctors do? Nothing. The only thing that has helped in the past is Oxycodone, but…

Aw! Good old Hark, A Vagrant!

As a female indie music nerd I really tried to listen to and like Ariel Pink (perhaps for the sake of being able to understand a tortured boyfriend or two). I never got it. Who else here has been baffled by Maus’ indie darling status?

2020 was a good year for music, at least. The following made my top 10:

Polacheck’s album, Pang, was one of mine this year. Her new release of the extended mix of the Gate lulled me to sleep several nights.

Wow! Where were you when I was getting into my abusive relationship??? I wish I would have told him “Stop right there, mister!” when he almost imperceptibly, slowly, isolated me from loved ones, broke down my self-esteem with words and made me think that being raped was just par for the relationships course. I should…
