She had lice and didn’t tell us until... well, you know how that all shook out. Refused to bathe during the winter months. Claimed a friendship with Meatloaf, and hung in our dorm window her dead, taxidermied pet parrot in its cage.

My worst roommate was my sister.

In Navy boot camp, everyone spends a week or so working in the base mess hall cooking food for all the other recruits. When Seaman Recruit Ghost had to take his turn, he was assigned to the mess hall bakery. This bakery was run by this tall, rangy guy who had been in the Navy for 16 years, yet was only a third-class…

Did this half-assed work for Owen’s ‘shop contest years ago.

I give my mail guy a gift every winter. Not specifically Christmas but always around the new year. (I think he might be Muslim anyway.) $20 is nothing in the grand scheme, but it does put a huge smile on his face, so, where’s the harm. :-)

I had a roommate who was such a worthless degenerate. Someone else in the apartment moved out, found this guy on Craigslist, and I didn’t have a say in it. Motherfucker didn’t even have a bank account, which should’ve automatically disqualified. Anyway one time, I come back from a week’s vacation, to see this guy’s…

Fun fact: Of course he founded babyphat, who doesn’t know that?

If I didn’t know someone personally who was groomed & sexually abused repeatedly as a child, who didn’t come forward till his late 20s and whose journey mimics both Robson’s and Safechuck’s so so eerily similar, I think I would have a very difficult time letting go of that deep, childhood nostalgia for both Kelly and…

The issue is that the story in the movie is 95% untrue. These two men were never friends; the driver was fired after 2 months. Mr. Shirley was not estranged from his family, didn’t have issues with his Blackness (the idea that he needed to learn to accept himself is absurd), didn’t need to be taught about Black…

My two-and-a half year old is very strong willed, but we actually get along just fine because of give and take. One of his biggest sore points used to be getting dressed every morning when he’d rather be naked no matter the weather. So we let him pick his own clothes, as long as he wears a nappy, a top and a bottom.…

Travis Barker.  I’m not proud of it, people, but I still would. 

In my youth, outside of the bar at closing time was called “the sidewalk sale” because men would literally just pick twinks off and bring them home.

WAKE UP

This is exactly why when I go grocery shopping my cart is full of nothing but fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Congratulations!

By the time I was 16, I’d endured years of: misogynistic tirades from my father who called me a prostitute when I was in second grade (learned a new word that day!); ongoing paranoia from both my parents that I’d have sex despite not knowing what sex was at the time (lower elementary school); bullying at school from…

Reminds me of an article that quoted a woman in Florida shortly after the shut down began. She said “He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting.” Let that sink in for a minute. A woman voted this man into office thinking his main responsibility was to hurt a segment of the population she didn’t like. This…

How To Vote Your Interest:

Let’s not confuse and cheapen the issue by making it about race.

I was sexually abused as a child. I lied about it even to sympathetic seeming people as a knee jerk and self preservation reaction. Even when I could admit some of the abuse, I would lie, deny, and hide the rest. Because people act different, look different, treat you different when you disclose. It makes you feel…
