Not a picture book. A copy of Great Expectations or something that would have to sit in storage until high school.

They are issuing statements, they just both have shit PR departments. Few media sites are covering their announcements or, when they do, it is a few lines buried in a larger article about the law — “this is one of the safest methods of second trimester abortions and is not murder” is not a sexy title. For example this…

Laura Beck!

I am going to be out of the country when PP2 opens and that knowledge has been casting a negative cloud on all of my travel planning.

If thinking this is a horrible idea makes me an ageist hater, point me to the club meeting.

I agree that comparisons to Schwyzer are unfair. As for the commenter turned author bit, I’m sure you’re right that’s a big part of the leeway as well. Small town boy (ie commenter) making the big time and all that.

I’m glad you saw the second one — i re read the first one after I wrote it and rolled my eyes at myself (which in retrospect, good example of apologizing promptly?).

Jez never really had been a safe place to fuck up — the commentariat here has a long memory and tends to hold grudges. If you comment here long enough and your name becomes known, people put on you the same kind of accountability you would have in your real life. That’s weird but part of the fact that Gawker Media…

I went to the grocery store 15 minutes after I read the grubstreet article. Anna your life is about to change.

Plus you get bonus points when it’s on Shabbat.

Wearing skimpy tops with lots of cleavage and no sleeves.

Female air marshals.

She’s concerned about scurvy, apparently.

doctors caving to the demands of patients and giving unecessary prescriptions for acne and viral infections and "just in case" and "ok because they won't shut up unless I hand them a prescription" are how we ended up in this mess in the first place.

With this clothesline! Changed my travel life. Also quick dry underwear (I recommend Hanky Panky which dries fast, isn't hideous, and lasts forever).

She got better! But yeah she’s kind of a bore, no defense here.

It got a little convoluted but I still love it. And Dobrev is a surprisingly excellent actress — watching her play Kathryn playing Elena was always entertaining. I’m bummed she’s leaving.

You shut your mouth. The Vampire Diaries is incredible.
