That last part reminded me: Many years ago I had a friend pop by one morning wanting to share some stank weed that he had just purchased. I kept telling him that I had a job interview and that he should continue with his delivery schedule since he was still at work, but of course his persuasiveness got me.

Don’t forget the other secret: Always be high.

Jayz hasn’t used a gay slur in music 2001. ... On top of that he used his last album to help his mom come out. To me that sounds like a man who had come full circle on his thoughts and beliefs. Where we are from saying things like “gay” or calling someone a “faggot” actually never meant harm towards homosexuals. Most…

I’m in my 40’s, I’ve been following the R Kelly story for what feels like years. I don’t listen to R Kelly, and I’ve made a point of not pulling up his songs even out of curiosity. I do know ‘ I believe I can fly’ but only from Space Jam. I learned it was an R Kelly song literally yesterday.

It goes with Ghouliani's "Truth is not truth." Somebody saw it coming...

A small part of the population have strictly downward curving smiles, which many think are weird because it’s rare and doesn’t resemble the usual “down then up” or strictly “up” curving smiles.

I remember watching the Martin Bashir documentary years ago, and when Bashir asked him about the molestation charges, Jackson was tremendously upset and quite convincing when he claimed his relationships with the kids were platonic. He was so messed up by his dad and never really had a childhood; I thought there was…

Provide free or at least affordable access to birth control and abortions to all women to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, and then provide a safety need like paid parental leave and affordable day care to help women who found themselves pregnant in less than ideal circumstances and want to keep the child.

Free birth control and more accommodating abortion processes.

I’ve taken a different route than Anne.  I’ve avoided having children, so I don’t have to worry about parenting while hungover.  As an added bonus, I have more cash so I can buy the expensive stuff.

I am not a fan of Cardi B, and have been dragged here for it, but I have to say, I relate so much to her with this. I am like 40% hip-hop, 30% rez, and 30% chola, and I’m also intelligent. Like Cardi, I like to read dry-ass non-fiction for pleasure. I have to remind myself to check out or buy fiction, because…

We had to put our dog, Doodle-Bug, down today. He was just old and sick and there was nothing we could’ve done for him. We had him for 18 years and I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. He’d been with me since I was 8 and was the first dog I ever owned.

So serious life stuff here- On Thursday I’m getting a full hysterectomy and endometriosis excision surgery, I ‘ve wanted this surgery for years and dont need the parts with my gender identity and thought I was super calm about it. Then the 1 week until surgery mark hit and I’m really starting to panic. I’m just plain…

Despite my chronic greyness, some of you know I’m trying to get pregnant, and was miserable about my painful late disappointing disappearing period this month. I’m really in need of the anonymous support of some internet denizens because TURNS OUT THAT WAS NOT A PERIOD. The “period” pain got so bad I rang my doctor…

When I was a wee lad lo these many decades ago, my uncle (long haul truck driver) brought me a surprise gift from Florida. A tiny lizard. Very cute.

Ollie has taken to placing his paw in my hand when he’s sleeping. 

Here’s Pete.
