Twinkly is the perfect word. He has a gleefulness about him that is delightful to watch.

It just makes me want to cry. Hey Lemon, no good choices here. Got it?

Thank you. It's okay. I really think I did the best I could in a shitty situation and I suppose over the years, I feel empowered that I used my wits to get through it without getting more messed up.

Think about all the martyrdom stories of the female Catholic saints. Half of them were killed resisting rape. Look into Saint Maria Goretti. It's maddening. The whole culture believes we should die rather than submit.

Thank you. It's the weirdest thing. I have seen men size other men up and think "nah, too big, not my fight" when deciding whether to get involved with a big drunk bully, for example. But they seem incapable of understanding that the same logic applies for us. We end up held down, hands on throats (in my case), by…

God, I am so sorry. I've been there too, but I didn't have my son at the time. If my rapist brought him into it, I'd lose my mind with fear. You are still here and you are amazing.

I have never heard anyone else talk about this record ever. And it was my constant listen for a long long while. Wow.

I was just posting that. When you say the premise of the show back to yourself it doesn't sound like it could possibly be real. I didn't know the name of the show and had to google "cartoon about kid stuck in jukebox...flipside." That sure as shooting doesn't sound like something in the real non-kid-imagination world.

Oh my god. I thought I hallucinated that show. I was just googling "cartoon about kid stuck in jukebox flipside" and got Kidd Video. I am stunned to find out it wasn't a long fever dream.

I was a WLA "Land Girl" for Halloween this year. Fave costume in a long time.

She's kinda the "crazy like a fox" type. But she's mine and I love her.

This is a beautiful description of something inescapably true.

My mom told me when I was little that if someone offers to do something to help you out, forget about whether you think it's the wrong or right way and just be happy you don't have to do it. I have applied this generously throughout my life and I am a lazier, happier person for it.

I was too. We waited till we had enough money for a babysitter twice a week (9 years of marriage - I didn't want kids and he changed his mind). She stays overnight so we can goof around and watch tv and be lazy one night, and go out another. Keeps us like we were before. Not an option for everyone. But if you can…

I moved away from NYC about 7 years ago and every time I get back to the city, I turn the tv on first thing to make sure he's still there. He's my constant. He's been there for me since 1999.

I have a kid and I find this kind of thinking ridiculous. Trust parents and carers to notice shady loners but let Grandpa and Lady DoubleDachshunds have their time in the park like anybody else. I used to go to the Natural History Museum, to the kids' zone where you can touch everything, before I had my son. It was…

Seriously. It cost us $5000 to move our dog to Australia from NYC. Granted, there's a quarantine period of 30 days, so that was tacked on to the bill, but still...say it's only $1000. That's insane!

I am white, but it has been my experience as well that men of color have hollered at me (or just said something - sometimes really funny - and I don't help the cause here because I laugh very easily), but white men use their bodies to physically intimidate. When I was in grad school the business school guys were…

I wonder in that case if he felt he was being "gentlemanly" or just doing a bit more of a mindfuck.

I'm overseas for my partner's work right now, but when we eventually get home, I'm putting Lancaster on my list!
