thaaaannnnk youuuuuu.

America

I blame instagram. I blame it for the ever increasing crafty bullshit that surrounds weddings and I blame it for the 2000% increase in the crowd at the apple orchard my family and I have been visiting since 1994.

Pfft, we didn’t even get diamonds for our rings. We got tanzanite, because it’s prettier and far more rare. Our rings aren’t huge, but that’s because we didn’t want gaudy bling on our fingers.

I kind of hate how “The Slot” is a vagina joke, too.

Ugh. I sincerely sympathize. Nothing worse than a coughing fit behind a podium.

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.

You are a brave soul.

Awww yeah, cool aunties ftw! *High five*

I keep accidentally bringing up politics too, in like ALL conversations. It’s bad. But it consumes like 75% of my thoughts during the day so I can’t help it. I forget that other people are wayyyy not as into it as I am. I’m not sure if this is healthy.

Yesterday my co-worker gleefully announced that he’s a big fan of Trump. This is an otherwise intelligent man, with a masters in anthropology. I knew he was a conservative, but I didn’t know he was THAT kind of conservative.

I’ve hit saturation. I like Sanders’ platform, but I think he will fail as president, so I’m supporting Clinton. But I’ve already decided to vote for whomever the Democrats nominate, so there’s no reason to pay attention. To keep my sanity, I’m avoiding as much politics as possible.

Oh god, I know work is going to be brutal as election season intensifies. I am the closeted liberal at my job, and we see lots of very vocal conservative customers on a daily basis who bring shit up out of nowhere. I’m going to have to be Switzerland if I want to keep my job. But some things just can’t stand...

Anyone who refuses to vote Democrat because their nominee wasn’t chosen is an asshole and I hope they rot.

dude it was like 88 two days ago. made me angry

I have wine and am recovering from my son’s crazy yet enjoyable Valentine’s Day party. I did a cupcake craft and all the kids made their own, with sprinkles and mnms, I made fancy cookies for on top. I had a bunch left and put All The Things on them and sent them to the neighbor kids. More is more. Haha. Now the boys…

As you can see, we’re getting frozen here in NYC. Serious “stay home and cover all your skin” weather. How are all you NYC-area Jezzies keeping warm? I can never seal off my air conditioners properly, so my apartment is pretty drafty — but I’ve got a down blanket, wool socks, mini hot dogs, and Malbec. :)

That’s not even remotely part of his job description. Getting in another person’s face and taking pictures of someone eating without asking for consent is rude as hell. Be a rude asshole, get the rude asshole treatment. Fair is fair.

No it’s not part of an actor’s job description. Just because you see them up on the big screen and in your home does not mean it's okay to stalk and take photos without permission.

No it isn’t. His job description is acting in films and promoting those films if his contract states so. People might be excited to see him in public, but that doesn’t mean that get to act like assholes.
