Not so far, but I haven’t checked her head today for birthmarks. Those suckers can pop up any time. You gotta be thorough. Although a stray Rottweiler has been hanging around the house. Hmm.

And you’re making the asinine assumption that I don’t. That says exactly the kind of person you are. How many people died in the most recent Beirut bombing, that the press has all but failed to report on? Last I read it was forty-one. You want to point the apathetic finger, point it at the news agencies that don't…

13th of November birthday here too woo!

How do you know she doesn’t?

(1) You’re implying that all of the victims were white

And the racist has spoken! Fuck off.

Friday was my birthday too. We didn’t know the attacks had happened until late in the evening because I celebrated by spending a Babies R Us gift certificate on some noisy toys for the almost toddler, and didn’t have the tv or radio on while we played with them. Living in a lucky, lucky bubble.

I’ve been either crying or on the verge of tears for two days now. I’m glad this woman survived to bear witness. I mourn, with all civilized society, for those who did not survive. May her words bring some measure of comfort to their loved ones, in comfortless times.

When this all unfolded on Friday, I was celebrating my daughter's 13th birthday. I was so grateful to be where I was, in that place, with my smiling, happy child. And my heart broke for those families who will not be able to do the same. I'm crying. We can be better. We should be.

Me too... I was so in love with Brandon Lee, before The Crow was even on the horizon, and then he died and I was devastated....and then all my friends were suddenly jumping on the bandwagon and “fans” because of The Crow and teenage me was all “fuck off, where were you all when his other movies were released, I loved…

I've crushed on him ever since Showdown In Little Tokyo. Bad film but he caught my attention. Whenever I see The Crow my heart still breaks a bit.

So dreamy. 90’s goth me is forever heartbroken

I like this quote from The Riot Grrrl Collection:

I know, I knowingly took the bait. The thing is, I couldn’t resist calling out the mouth breather on it’s own hypocrisy.

I’ve found that especially as I’ve gotten older, being jealous of women for their physical attributes in particular, just feels pathetic. It feels like it diminishes me. I was at the beach recently with my cousin, who like me is in her 40s. She made a mildly disparaging remark on the preponderance of thongs, and it…

Men will never get along. It’s just in their DNA. They are constantly fighting over territory, political power and the attention of women.

Hey look, I can make sweeping generalizations too!

It’s no wonder young girls emulate this. Look at what they grow up with.

One of the toughest and most rewarding things I have done is work on supporting women and stopping myself as soon as I feel that familiar twinge of jealousy. I’m 27 and still very much a work in progress. It can be done though. I’m in a much better place than I was 5 years ago.

I’ve always found it strange and offputting that the default state of female relationships in most fiction seems to be passive aggression, cattiness, and jealously.

Most people are convicted for most crimes based on other’s statements. Hard physical evidence is rare. Thank you Jerry Bruckheimer and CSI for making people think otherwise.
