I had a really eye-opening experience the other week when I went to lunch with friends and we talked Britney and other things in the news and I said “I’m still pissed Bill Cosby is out of jail” and this very educated man I work with mansplained to me for about 15 minutes about how Cosby didn’t do anything wrong and…

He was and I believe still is. She stood by her man and the gravy train. No one knows how much she actually knew but when the accusations came out she still supported his rapey ass so she can get fuck all the way off.

Didn’t he try and play the I’m-a-frail-old-man act (ala Weinstein) in court? And suddenly he’s magically healthy and full of life enough to attempt a full on tour? Fuck him and fuck anyone who gives him their money, indeed.

This is a fine idea, but that guy would drop after a light tap to the jaw. Maybe we should have some alternates, like Betsy DeVos and James Franco.

Carrie was pretty fucking dumb about it during the episode where Alanis kissed her. Okay so kissing a woman isn’t your thing, but you’re a 30-something woman who has lived in NYC for at least a decade. It’s not THAT shocking or disgusting FFS.

I wouldn’t want to get the stench of axe body spray on my knuckles.

Maybe one way we can heal and come together as a nation and society is for each of us to have a chance of throw a punch at Jake Paul.

The Bachelor/ette franchise is going to have a “your turn in the barrel” kind of scenario one of these days, isn’t it?

Rebellion comes in many forms.

Sometimes the apple falls outside the orchard.

My brother, as some of you may know, is a piece of work. He has a whole slew of kids (13) of whom only about three still talk to him. He has, for 30 years, used his religion to justify just about everything he wants to do rather than use his religion as a guide to how to live his life. If you’re envisioning right-wing…

Speaking of Christians, or Catholics - while I was getting ready to get married, my hairdresser flaked out, so my sisters jumped in and did my hair. My mom forcefully volunteered to help me dress up (seriously. She insisted). She never understood the concept of privacy, so her excuse is “it’s nothing that I haven’t…

Oh man, that sounds like fun. The church I was looking at was just a single building, no manse—but the basement kitchen looked like you could make a lot of perogies in there (although I pointed out to my husband that Anglicans are not, in general, a perogy-making people ;-) ). All of the pews and the stained…

There was a listing the next town over from me, and property included a 1850s manse, a church, with professional kitchen in the basement, and working organ! Come on! Who wouldn’t want to wake up their “neighbors” (houses are pretty spread out) playing the opening to Phantom of the Opera. The house across the street is…

I have long thought a very similar thing about standard heterosexual weddings. I tried on a couple of white wedding dresses before I got married, and they felt kinky as shit. Everything was about emphasizing the boobs and butt, but white so that everyone can wonder if you’re “allowed” to wear white (my relatives…

Stories like that and how RBG and Scalia were best buds make me think justices are pretty fucking detached from reality.

Not to mention most 83 year olds I know are somewhere on the spectrum of dotty and demented. I know plenty of people can age gracefully and keep active, etc, but I don’t ask any 83 year old for advice on how to live. So why would I want them deciding current social issues for me? 

I’m Sarah Jessica Parker’s age, and the idea of “age appropriate” clothing gives me the serious crawls. My grandmother thought it was a literal sin for women to look good/pay attention to their looks/stay current as they aged (vanity, dontcha know?) and I really, really think we should be past that.  It’s tiring and…

I met Justice Breyer once and asked him how he manages to have a civil relationship with Clarence Thomas. And he said “you need to understand where Justice Thomas came from” and I said, “you need to understand what he’s actually doing to people.” And then the conversation ended. Breyer is a good Justice in the sense…

The only thing I know about Breyer is that if he doesn’t get his ass off the bench very soon, the only thing he will be remembered for is not getting his ass off the bench for the greater good.
