If I were you: I'd do the blog, but do it on a time lag. Write everything as it happens, but post it like a week later. That way your clients won't recognize themselves in your posts.

I have a problem with this "everyone do exactly what they want for as long as they want to!" approach. No one should tell his family and friends how to feel, or how long it's appropriate to feel that way. But his friends and family should be aware that they live in a very crowded city, and try and take what other…
Three months is kind of a long time to leave something up in as public and highly trafficked an area as Park Slope. I feel bad that the kid died, but if the family wants to do something more permanent they should donate to the city to put a plaque on a park bench/near a tree/at a playground/etc. If the kid was…
So true. Also: no shame in going to community college and transferring. You will save a fuckton of money.
Harry Belafonte is himself biracial. That woman is an idiot. "Harold George Bellanfanti Jr. was born in New York on March 1, 1927. His father was the son of a black Jamaican mother and a white Dutch Jew, and his mother, Millie, was the daughter of a black Jamaican father and a white mother. They were both illegal…
There was a really good 30 for 30 on this! Broke
Have you read anything by Jacqueline Woodson? Her books have won the Coretta Scott King Award and been on Newbery/Caldecott honor lists, so she's well known (at least among librarians) and the library will probably have some of her stuff. Also this book just looks fun:
Part of me wonders if this girl wouldn't also benefit from some kind of assertiveness training...because bullies don't ever really disappear from the landscape. Someone at work, or in your building, or at your Church, or wherever you find yourself is always going to have something nasty to say to you. If you carry…
I love how he says hi to everyone in San Fran. And that random guy who pops up at the end and lectures Lisa at the party. Soooo bad, yet soooo good.
So, I had a bout of facebook stalking my crazy ex-roommate this afternoon and it looks like she lost another job. I KNOW I should leave it alone, but part of me wants to text her and ask if she's okay. Partly this is morbid curiosity, partly it's genuine concern because she has been isolating herself/is not on…
I only took one women's studies class (a survey) but one of the things I got from it was an understanding of where some of the wackier rad fem stuff comes from. Like, back in the 60s, no one was really talking about childhood sexual abuse, and some things that are considered date rape today were considered fairly…
Exactly.
They probably employ some administrative people who aren't nuns.
I so don't get this. Why should your employer be all up in your medical history? Aren't we supposed to have SOME confidentiality? Secondly, I've used birth control pills to control my insane death periods even when I haven't been in a relationship/having penis in vagina sex. How can you refuse to cover something that…
I have big labia and I like them. I think they look lush and inviting and natural. If someone didn't like them...that would be his problem, not mine.
Oh my god, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I keep telling myself that stepping away for a year will be okay, I still will be in contact with my friends who write/act/etc, it's not like I've fallen off the face of the Earth or anything. In fact, stepping away might give me more perspective. With some $$ in the bank I…
Thanks, I probably will just do that. My credit's not excellent or anything, but it's okay, and I have never been evicted or anything. I think looking at the application just dredged up a lot of anxiety and weird feelings about the former friend roommate. And even if this falls through, I have time to find something…
Wait...how is that legal? Holy shit, this country is fucked up.
This will sound really vapid, but I kind of work as an actress sometimes so it's important. Last year my resolution was to stop fucking with my hair, because it was getting really damaged. I had one dyeing relapse in February, but was mostly successful. The damaged part is growing out really well, soon I can cut it…
I am in a short-term sublet and have to move Feb 1st. I have to fill out an application for an apartment I looked at today, but recently I've been in (gah) short-term sublets. I have no idea how to fill out the "landlord name and phone number" lines, because these have been really informal. For example, where I am…
