Yeah, I know that I am broke for as long as I live in the Bay Area, but damn, it makes me feel better to know that we’re a little cluster of resistance in these fucked up times.

Oh, this is just what I needed to hear. I’m painfully aware that I’m my own worst enemy and my greatest obstacle to real happiness. So glad to hear second chances have worked out for you!

Yowza. Taylor’s makeup situation in that photo is really unfortunate. Was she wearing a different dress earlier in the evening?

This is cracking me up.
