Yep, becoming main subbed is the kiss of death on that website.

I get that journalists want to tread. But fuck that. I am a member of the commentariat, I will say rape.

I would argue that Julie Andrews suffered for the way she sang though- she had throat nodules, which are caused by vocal abuse. She actually underwent a surgery that damaged her voice and her singing is now extremely limited (if at all). Keep that in mind.

You should hear her piano versions of her songs stripped down without all the electronic elements- absolutely beautiful. She is amazingly talented.

I think there is such poor civics education, in part because the people in power want it that way. There is no talk in high school how the Constitution was created when we were an agrarian society, prior to the Industrial Revolution where most people lived off land and you needed a gun for practicality. It was also…

I really think a psychiatrist specializing in death and dying should be available for the families of people in ER/ICU etc because I think they just aren't in a good head space and they need someone to help them reach rational decision making and logically understand what is going on. Thankfully when my grandmother…

A youth group leader also told me this. Oy.

Also, for those waiting until marriage or a house to move into to figure out if you are living compatible, a lease is much easier to break and deal with than a mortgage. My friend just learned that the hard way.

What about if you just start dating your roommate?

How long until CVS/walgreens/medexpress/some other bullshit private corporation because we have poor primary care access offers delivery services? Really. I am not even joking because that is how little I think of America.

I literally reread that bit multiple times because my brain automatically made it logical. I forgot to enter which state that was in.

I can get behind that pool!

I would like someone kind of unknown. I think the magic of the daily show was not just being funny but having the ability to have serious moments which is why john Oliver's show works so well. I don't think a successor is quite so clear yet.

and why is it always always always a gray silvery car that fails to so it makes it even less likely that I will see them! Unless your car is citrus peel and really even then, lights go on dammit.

Part of the problem is realism when kids get older. They come from families that can't afford school and schools don't give scholarships for smarts the way they do for athletics. They don't have AP and IB classes that make them competitive with middle-upper class kids, so I've had a few students come to me after…

College and career ready is bullshit. Because when they mean "career ready" they aren't talking about technical jobs, artistic jobs, retail/service jobs, they are talking about jobs you "go to college for". It creates an environment of competition before one needs to even exist and it makes them sound like they are…

I think it should be straight up illegal to take pictures of other people's children and publish them because their parents did not consent. If I have to go out of my way to get every single permission slip to take photos at school or class event from everyone, paps should have to as well. At least I have clearances…

Venus has some good songs fo sho. I love the short singing part in Datura about a minute or so in. Is there room in my heart/for you to follow your heart.

Also went to Lilith Fair! Loved every bit of it ( recovering Catholic at the time, so needed.)

Also a fellow Tori lover here. I was assaulted when I was younger and I was deeply questioning religion. I needed to find voices that dealt with my anger, loss, reflection and awakening. I was really into Paula Cole and Alanis and someone at Sam Goody was like check out Tori. Thanks random Sam Goody employee! My…
