First thought (and truth):

Quick, Congress! Do nothing!

Re: dinner guest. Nope.

It sounds like a sorority girl thing. Not trying to stereotype sorority girls-I did a brief stint as one a million years ago. But my much-younger sister is a year out of college, and she uses the term “peach” regularly. So I associate it with overly-cute sorority girl communication. That being said, she should have…

what about daddy?

“I have mastered the fine art of presenting a charming disposition with self-awareness”

UM, “could you be a peach” sounds SUPER condescending, and the choice to use it on DAY TWO of a new job with your BOSS is just ... that’s incredibly bad judgment.

Watching Matt Damon defend the integrity of the teaching profession is a pretty good palate cleanser (while standing next to his beaming mother - a teacher).

Most bizarre? Finding out at my shitheel grandfather’s funeral that my camo-loving, Bambi hunting, proud Marine cousin was 10o% pro-gay marriage and loved sushi, karaoke, and gay bars. He’s always been a really wonderful person, but until my grndfather’s funeral, I didn’t know there was another foaming-at-the-mouth…

You don’t need a stranger on the Internet to tell you this but your cousin would never ever hold that against you especially given she had just recently experienced grief herself so try not to hold onto this. Shock and grief can do crazy things to your brain. My heart cracked a little reading this and I hope you’re…

I think the backlash is already here? Swift seems like an awful narcissist. Her feminism is white feminism that is convenient to her and it’s so gross. I feel like she and Julia Roberts are a lot alike. Joan needs to ruuuuuuun.

Sweetheart, she’s one of the biggest stars in the world, and has been since she was 11. She doesn’t have to do anything to get attention, and one gets the feeling that now she just does whatever she wants and those who don’t like it can get the fuck out.

Seriously?

I love men. I just hate you.

Bastille covering Miley Cyrus. I particularly like the last bit :)

This cover of Jolene is pretty spectacular. I only came across it a few months ago, and until then I hadn’t heard her sing (I am also an under-rock-dweller), and I was genuinely shocked at what a powerful instrument she has. Miley seems fairly callow and silly, but her voice is thrilling.

She does a really good cover of “Jolene” and “You’re gonna make me lonesome when you’re gone.” No one gives Miley enough credit. Girl can get it.

I really hope you can learn a little empathy for other people’s experiences in the coming school year. That, and possibly some grammar.

I like Miley. She’s living her life and doing her thing. Her voice is unique; one doesn’t hear very many contralto voices in pop music anymore. Everyone wants to see who can hit a higher note than the next person, meanwhile I’ve played this video of her cover of Summertime Sadness over and over for the past few months.

I can do this for peeing, it isn’t great but I can do it. I am bad at squatting, bad hips and not flexible, terrible balance. I cannot imagine doing this to poop, like I know that people who grow up doing it just are better with the balance and squatting but like not everyone is as abled body enough to do it. What do…
