Bad-ass swamp kid. I'm impressed.

I think maybe, "vegan" to them is a healthy eating buzzword? Kinda like "gluten-free" or "organic"?

I organized an event recently, and when people sent in their dietary requirements, it was all kinds of crazy. "I'm a vegetarian, except that I eat pork, chicken, and fish." So...you're not a vegetarian; you just don't eat red meat. My favorite was the person who sent in "I only eat fish." ...Gollum? Is that you?

My dad said he went "vegan" for a few months a few years ago to lower his cholesterol, except that he ate eggs for breakfast everyday, so yeah, not really vegan. He's the kind of person who just picks up on all of these dieting buzzwords and jumps into fad diets without actually knowing what they entail. Like when he…

Are they actually eating bacon or just fondly remembering it? Like, once upon a time a neighborhood acquaintance gave us an illegally poached, definitely threatened and possibly endangered abalone for Christmas. I felt terrible but I sometimes wax poetic about how delicious it was even though I'd never eat it again.

Awesome idea! And there's a library within walking distance! I've been there for books but never thought to check out other options they offer. Thanks for the idea. :)

I'm in BC. Not really feeling the teaching thing because of the strikes. Just seems like a very toxic situation. I'm also only eligible for elementary school because archaeology is not a "teachable" subject. Lol.

I'm currently rereading Harry Potter. (After all this time? - Always!) And crocheting star like things that I'm considering turning into ear rings.

Is there a feel good song for the petite women of the world who often get mistaken for children and really hate when people tell them that that's a "compliment"?

I know it's far too easy to rag on Jenny Mccarthy, but I think of that time she kissed Bieber on an awards show and just cringe.It was not cool.

Yes! The black market is jumping for joy.

Agreed. And, as someone who grew up in the '80s and '90s, I can't help contrasting the obvious sexualization of Britney Spears with the way Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, who were the same age when they hit the scene, were marketed. These were regular teenagers who looked like regular teenagers on their album covers. …

That does sound ridiculous. I went through Army basic training in the the 2000s and nothing even remotely like that happened. Worst was we had to do push ups when we fucked up, but in hindsight you realize it's just exercise that's getting you ready for the PT test. Never once did anyone touch me.

For those of us who have been following his cult of personality with teeth on edge, the name is emblematic of Driscoll's belief that he has the authority to act outside of centuries of theology and set himself up as "author" of a special holy dispensation, and the power and privilege to lord it over followers.

Andrew W.K. officiated my sister's wedding and he brought his wife and they were both the absolute god damned best.

omg, I love your org and I LOVE HIS FACE!!!!

Weaponized Kindness is an amazing name for...something. Anything.

And HE WOULD HUG YOU BACK. He is that fucking awesome. He is that rare human being that it is impossible to dislike; he has successfully weaponized kindness.

It's a really awesome column. Also, Andrew is a huge Lil Bub fan, so that makes him a-ok in my book:

Andrew WK, watch your goddamn back. Because if I ever see you, I am hugging the everloving shit out of you.
