You do know that (spoiler) Elizabeth Peters IS Barbara Michaels? True!

You would love Steve Wells' book Drunk with Blood, which outlines all of God's many genocides, murders, tortures, incestual sex acts, etc. as glowingly bragged about in the Bible.

Manicurists. And golf caddies.

You think GOP lawmakers can read books?

When my neighbor died and we adopted her sweet kitties, we discovered they were named Maximus, Trevor, and Simon. Despite these grand and creative names, this has inevitably been reduced over time to Maxi, Trevvie, and Simie (and sometimes Slimey Heiney, which he does NOT like.)

There would never be a reason to, because I don't date abusive men (anymore.) So, um, no. And even when I was in emotionally abusive relationships I never slapped anyone, and fuck this whole "slapping, pushing and hitting" is normal stuff....... If this is your "normal" get to therapy immediately and get out of that…

I don't know about that. She could have said, "I don't want to shoot a gun, daddy/mommy. It's icky." Nine year olds have some agency in most families, quite often. Doesn't matter if her family were gun nuts or not; she could have said no. Of course, she couldn't have truly anticipated what might happen; but a general…

I'm a syndicated astrology writer, and in the past I syndicated my own columns to arts weeklies and gay weeklies and also some family type weeklies. At the height of the dot.com boom I was writing astrology articles and horoscopes for the Showtime TV Network and lots of other websites while simultaneously writing…

I would love to hear your musical Trini (by way of Boston for a while) accent! I'll bet it's beautiful.

Gods forbid you exercise agency over the muscles of your own mouth, you non-compliant bitch, you! :)

No, it's not flattering, it's still creepy and anti-social and goes against sane social norms in how two adults would normally meet/greet/flirt/etc.

Or a ragdoll! Fuzzy little sluts, they are.

..but rape within marriage was legal; women couldn't have their own credit cards, own property, receive child support, easily divorce an abuser, find gainful employment that paid them enough to truly support themselves, wear pants without being looked down upon, receive equal opportunities for education in Ivy League…

For years I lived in a "you walk everywhere because moving your car after you've managed to find paid on the street parking and fed the meter until it bursts" type of town, so I was constantly pedestrianing (new verb!) Over that time I had two very, um, sweet, I guess? cat calls: one guy said "You are one…

I didn't realize Sarah Palin was going to star on her very own special episode of Drunk History! Cool.

Hell, I'm just thrilled that I've lived long enough to finally see pants and jeans in "long" lengths so I could avoid "Where's the flood? Your pants are high enough!" comments. Seemed to take ages for pants to be available for us extremely tall gals. But what I don't get is, women like me who are six feet tall must be…

Meh. I think this far more realistic depiction of Kim as a hobbit and her hubs as Golem :
