I have smoked on and off for over half my life. I am currently off due to job searching. Pot is addicting, at least to me it is. I’m at currently going through withdrawals(quit yesterday after smoking literally every day for the last three years) I’m bored as fuck and kind of testy. It will pass in a few days like it…

All the good vibes to you, sir or madam. Without sounding too much like a Hallmark card, the something that can change is you. I’ve been on that floor myself and my shitty self control is legendary but I got better and you can too. This internet stranger is rooting for you.

At least the young, thin, flat-chested demo is getting plenty of flattering options. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE THIN GIRLS??

As someone who has, on multiple occassions, met (and weirdly, mountain biked with) W., I can assure you that his ‘nice guy’ and ‘affable idiot’ persona can be very disarming but deep down he is still the anti-choice, war mongering a-hole we loved to hate for 8 long years.

Actually Planned Parenthood is a Bush family tradition–they’re not evangelicals, they’re from a pragmatic old WASP establishment that thought one of the best ways to help people lift themselves out of poverty was family planning. Grandpa George’s nickname in Congress used to be “Rubbers” b/c of the family support. …

I told my dad explicitly that I was not going to bite my tongue anymore to keep the peace.

Republicans are acting like politics is some hip new burrito shop that they want to keep secret from everyone else. Then everyone found out about these dope ass burritos, even helping each other locate the burritos. Now they will try anything to keep their beloved secret shop from being flooded with hungry patrons.…

These dumb motherfuckers with their phones out cheering on eliminating and limiting media will soon find that their recordings and phones will later be confiscated and arrested for anything that would be deemed unsavory for this administration.

The press is the only industry with explicit constitutional protection. I don’t understand how people (especially those who call themselves reporters) can think any rights are safe if they take away that one. Religion? Guns? Due process? Pfft. None of those can exist if the press can’t write about them.

I get stuff from my son. Although right now that means I’m listening to some metal and a little retro 80s goth/synth/post-punk-pop or something. Also, got the new Train album and Ryan Adams’ new one is due this Friday.

Yes, I worked there when I was homeless at fifteen. Survival was definitely more important than understanding the ugliness of why it was the only thing available to an underage girl; thanks for your thoughtful inquiry.

Not food sector story, but hey it happened this week and it involved immigrant staff being amazing...

People love a good power fantasy. I think some of them are under the illusion that they would be part of group delivering rough justice to all the people they think have kept them down.

And yet he wants to act like Muslim refugees are just coming in here illegally for no reason other than to ruin us...because we didn’t contribute to the devastation of their countries or anything...

The chilling bit is that if Chomsky said it, it would be because he abhors murder, whereas Trump says it like a verbal shrug. It’s as if he expects to be dabbling in a bit of murder himself quite shortly.

I executed the perfect Superbowl play. I do not care about the game. So I went to the always-insanely-packed Whole Foods near me and went grocery shopping. It was DESERTED. I was the only person checking out. It was like heaven! (And then I got home in time to see Lady Gaga kill it!)

I got him to sign a book for my sister when I went to a reading of his (we’re both huge fans) and he wrote in her book “You have a nice sister.”

David Sedaris signed my book “Thank you for making me rich.” I love him.

David Sedaris! I told him that he got me an A in American Lit and he wrote in my book “I would have given you an A+.” He was awesome. Also on writer stories, I once met Dave Eggers and expected him to be a giant dbag, but he was really lovely and was excited to sign a bunch of stuff for my friend who introduced me to…

Mine will have to be a Blind Item lest I doxx myself. The celebrity in question is a actress in her 30s who has done movies but is better known for her television work. She’s also much nicer than this story makes her sound. That said...
