I feel like Halford doesn’t get enough credit for being a trailblazer for gay rights and changing hearts & minds when it comes to homosexuality. There is NO more of a conservative, bigoted group of music fans than metalheads. Him coming out as a proudly gay man was a big goddamn deal.

I’m a food worker who’s been working in person for the duration and won’t qualify to get vaccinated for at least a couple months. While that is bullshit, at least if I can’t get the shot, I want as many people as possible that I still have to deal with in person to have it.

Wait until you hit menopause. When telling everyone to fuck off is default mode. 🤣 

It’s Montessori, so probably vaccinations.

My person and I got engaged. I haven’t told anyone IRL. I like the feeling of savoring a secret and I don’t feel like doing it for the gram (now an ad wasteland). So y’all get to hear it first. Wish us luck :)

I think that discounts the naivity that comes with being a teenager/VERY YOUNG adult, and the level of manipulation coming from the older person. At 40 I am horrified by what I “allowed” to happen to me in my 20's, and I wouldn’t have realized this until I watched friends/ read news stories where the outcomes were…

I saw the video of her speaking out about this (without speaking his name) a while ago and I felt so bad for her. I hope the best for her, she seems like an incredibly nice woman. 

I believe that was David! Every few years, him yelling “I love you! It kills me!” pops into my head lol. That was a great season.

I absolutely feel this piece! My deep love of LA radio station KROQ defined my high school life in the 80's. Of course I was also a Black girl who lived and went to school in South LA, so I kept that part of my life down pretty low. I kinda sorta found a semi-tribe of similarly minded misfits in high school, but even…

Spin is royalty. This is some bs.

I also work in government, and your story sounds all too familiar. A while back we found out that one of our co-workers was secretly a Nazi, and was maintaining lists of everything he didn’t like about each of us that he kept in his desk drawer.

So, goat lady.

That was gross but I want to hear more about the goat lady.

Garth Brooks defies stereotypes of Country. “The Thunder Rolls” gets him a win in my book. Nice guy. 

I hate country music, but I’ve always loved Garth. I was crying from the first note. Then, I was laughing as he made his unity exit. I read He volunteered to be a part of the Inauguration because he wanted to bring the country together. He is getting some backlash for being “anti-Trump". 

A million years ago (ok, maybe 21... oh god. 21!) I got to go to the Millennium March on Washington and the Equality Rocks concert, where I got to see Garth Brooks give his hat to George Michael while they sang a duet. 

Alexis is so cute!!

The bob/bangs are super-cute and makes her look more fey than she did in Knives Out. She’s adorable.

Leave Riggins out of this!
