I spent a few months in the early 80s working for a sex toy shop that was, um, not feminist. Hoo boy, I still tell stories from that wee bit of time. It was my job to be the party girl, i.e, the rep who went to people’s houses to sell stuff, like a hardcore tupperware party. These were tame, with lots of uncomfortable…

I read the headline and thought “At least they’re women not kids?” Which is still awful, but in my mind felt like the teensiest bit of progress. And then I read the piece. Fuckity fuck.

I distinctly remember an interview JT did with Pat O’Brien from Entertainment Tonight, right after he came offstage of the show, where he winked and nudged to the effect of ‘we wanted to push boundaries, ain’t we naughty?’ And then the world ended because of a black girl’s nipple and all of a sudden his story changed.…

Aww, I’m just being an asshole. I find whenever the camera’s on her, she’s ‘on’ in a way none of the other kids are. She She strikes me (and again, I’m an asshole) to have inherited Chip’s affection for attention-seeking. Child performers don’t have a good track record in terms of mental health, and it strikes me her…

Psst: Don McLean.

Based on my wholly unscientific observations, their smallest girl-child is in danger of flipping (geddit?!?) the fuck out. That kid has psychiatrists’ couches in her future, or I’ll eat my hat.

I’ve never seen an ass clock, let alone a huge one. I should tune in!

But Orangengropenfuhrer hates the same people his voters hate, and really, does anything else ever matter?

Do we think he’ll introduce himself to his cellie thus, “Hi, I’m Danger. Carlos Danger.”?

Why on earth wouldn’t you sort dry clothes before folding? I actually can’t comprehend any other action... Well, okay, when the underwear is all static-clung to your towels, you might do the ol’ sort/fold at the same time thing, but absent Cling? Nope! Sort! Fold! Done!

Republicans Know This Bill Will Be Terrible For Women and They’re Pretty Stoked!

Hard disagree. Write a goddamn thank you note. 3 lines: “Thank you for your sweet gift. Junior loves the [whatever]. We’ll think of you whenever baby [does thing, looks at thing. whatever]. Love & kisses/gratefully/humbly, New Parent. Same script for all gifts, so don’t worry about being that personalized (unless your…

Yeah, sure, but have you even tried the psychic vampire repellant? Huh? HAVE YOU???!?!?

I am very good at dealing with catastrophes. I never freak out, I’m calm, focused, productive. But I will lose my shit if I can’t get a goddamn stapler to staple. Because it’s not frustrating if the big things go wrong. The frustration happens when the little things, which should always work, don’t.

On the up side, at least their fellow students know who they are now. That’s going to be useful.

I agree! And if the upper-ups don’t really think what O’Reilly did wasn’t really wrong, they’re certainly —certainly — in the thrall of the ‘there but for the grace of [whoever] go I’. Meaning they’re (as rich and powerful dudes) afraid of being accused of rape —which is a thing quite distinct from being upset about…

He’s just tall enough for Trump to ruffle his hair with those teensy tiny hands.

Jason Clarke is only 18 years older than Blake! Progress! [/s]

Either that or I can’t type...

I suspect that it’s more proximate. The saw some of the umpteen wonderful interviews HTC did for her book, and his response is the suggestion of unprovoked and un-defended-against violence.
