The way I knew my friend was going to be my friend was she had DDG, Dick, and Mean Girls all on VHS and DVD.

He was so fantastic in The Young Victoria. My best friend and I saw it in theaters and lost our shit when he fell and they left it in the movie.

Most people, usually white but I went to majority black elementary and high schools and they didn’t teach us this either, don’t realize the shit show that was the Jim Crow south. They really need to teach that in high schools. Every junior in high school should read The Red Record by Ida B. Wells. Shit I want a major…

Operation Snow White is my theory. They pulled some document that had something some higher up in the IRS did not want getting out. Said higher up person then helped them get their tax emept status. Also they sued the shit out of the IRS with phoney claims that acutally caused major issues for the IRS. The documentary…

I stopped reading another columnist here in Chicago because she would talk about how former governor who was serving time could not see his ailing wife. And this was the governor who was caught in a bribes scandal for selling fake truck driver’s license. Which was linked to a truck driver who did not take the proper…

According to my Star Wars guide to planets and moons they were a goat looking creature. They had horns that gave them extra sensitivity, an almost ESP like connection between one another, lie detection, and the ability to almost read another creatures mind. This also made them get headaches whenever near a force…

I read it years ago now but there was a fantastic article written by a woman who’s uncle, he was a doctor who performed abortions, was killed by an anti-choice person. The article was about how not only her uncle’s killer but Dr. Tiller and some other medical professional’s killers were all linked. The killers usually…

I am okay with open casket wakes. There is something about seeing the body’s empty shell that personally gives me closure. But at the same time I understand families who don’t want the open casket. I also do not like embalming and hate the fact it exists. There’s a fantastic book called Death to Dust that talks about…

That makes sense to me. That seems sweet, and obviously conveys that the person is dead. The photoshopping stuff is just...I dislike disparaging a person’s way of grieving but this is not my cup of tea. Also I’m sorry for the loss. Losing any person we love sucks and going through a long drawn out illness is just…

Welp I bought and read it. Pretty sure I will never eat borscht again.

I know people grieve in different ways. I indulge in repression and whisky, its not healthy. But what the fuck is this?

The concept of it has brought me much joy for a few days. I’ll buy it when not on my work computer

Genuine lol. I almost had coffee go up my nose. Thank you.

But puns!

There’s an Amazon erotica called, “Putin on the Trump”. Its an erotica between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The title and cover art made me laugh. http://www.amazon.com/Putin-Trump-Vl…

These are the Phyllis Schlafly’s and my aunts also known as hegemonic females. Women who would be The Aunts in Margaret Atwood’s book A Handmaid’s Tale. This weekend my one aunt told me how rape is no reason for an abortion. Also IUD’s hurt an embryo too and should not be used by women of child bearing age. I had no…

Lin Manuel Miranda is a huge fan of a podcast called My Brother, My Brother, and Me. The podcast is three brothers take questions and give advice usually it goes off on strange tangents. The questions are either listeners submitted or taken from Yahoo! questions sections. So LMM was on as a guest-pert and talks about…

There are days where this shit just makes me tired. Other times I find it hilarious. But if I ever become a crazy billionaire I’m going to have every single Latino and Hispanic identifying person in pop culture just do a massive commercial together so everyone can see the US at large has a very narrow idea of race and…

Technically it was just us shooting the shit post interview. Also pretty sure the question was asked by the boss’s son or someone like that. The woman who was the head interviewer cringed pretty hard, however they did not chastise the person and seemed pretty keen to hear my answer.

The only thing I dislike is the casting call is only in NYC. Why not Chicago or LA? Basically I want to try out for Hercules Mulligan/James Madison. Oh well this news may knock me down I get the fuck back up again.

I love this musical. Representation matters, and the fact my friends who are not musical people want to…
