When I was growing up, it was the IRA. My first job we were told how to deal with a bomb threat or suspicious packages in the mall where I worked. There will always be people who think it achieves something to kill a bunch of people, other than make everyone who is left really pissed at them.

Texas’s growing pregnancy-related mortality rates disproportionately affect black women, who make up 11 percent of births, but 28 percent of pregnancy-related deaths in Texas

Ugh... I’d hate to see that done to the local homeless population, here. I know several of them, and most are great people who just suffer from years of alcoholism or mental illness, but are self-aware and not a danger to anyone but themselves, really. Like my friend, we’ll call him “G”, who is an alcoholic who has…

As always when it comes to Jezebel reports on ongoing terror attacks, I would ever so kindly like to remind everyone to NOT ENGAGE THE RACIST TROLLS, PLEASE FOR GOD’S SAKE DISMISS THEM AND/OR LEAVE THEM IN THE GREYS! ... Sorry for shouting.

Women historians rock because they think history is more than what happened on the battlefield.

Ok, so, I kinda sorta know the bird who created that show, and she says, in private, that the stuff that made it into the show is, like, 10% of the true fuckery that occurs. That thing where they switch out the crazy lady’s pills REALLY HAPPENED, more than once.

Anne ain’t ashamed to lay it down, no matter what name she’s writing under. All the sex up in there.

Oh my god, Lace. Phoebe Cates in the made-for-TV movie* version uttering the line, “Which one of you bitches is my mother?” Perfection.

Love The Witching Hour, read it a couple of times now and could read it again. The whole family history of witches in The Garden district of New Orleans is just so beautiful and amazing, I can almost just see myself in that house when I read it. Love the characters of Julien and Mary Beth. Someone needs to make it…

The Whoppers and cheeseburgers are ok, everything else, bleh.

Man, I used to live on Whoppers. Who knows if I could digest one today.
