Sears Christmas Catalog was the bright light of my childhood. 

I had a black and white TV until 1989. Just saying. It happened. 

Is it grooming if it is an adult boss who is doing it to another adult? Shouldn’t it be “Who sexually harassed him over a period of time before sexually assaulting him by attempting to perform oral sex on him...” I hate the way we talk about child sexual abuse, because it tends to remove so much of the violence and…

Oh, she wears spanx. She’s too vain not to. 

Yep, “I really don’t care, do u?” would be my response if she died in a fire. Fuck her and the orange horse she rode in on. 

It is my response to any story about her. “I really don’t care, do u?” She’s a trash human being in every way.

Good one. Of course, I love fondue. It’s delicious. I live in Chicago, a town with at least two fondue restaurants. Haven’t been to one for years, but believe them both to still be in business.

When I was 7 I decided to run away from home (perfidy of siblings which I can no longer remember, hardheartedness of parents who refused to somehow fix everything in a way that fully exonerated me). I wrote a two page note explaining said perfidy/hardheartedness and then realized, “This sounds really whiny.” So I…

This is a made up scandal to cover up for the real scandal of the GOP rep calling AOC a fucking bitch earlier that day. This stuff is just more bullshit. Remember when they claimed that the reporter manhandled the intern and altered the video? Because I remember that. 

Yup. He is accountable for his present actions. I believe him about his past abuse. I believe these women about his present harassment. To me, both things are possible and one does not excuse the other. Glad he’s off the committee before he can do more damage.

It doesn’t surprise me that he would engage in harassment. I mean, it’s a confluence of several things. First, if you are abused as a child it destroys your boundaries, and that problem can last. Second, once you have no boundaries, “if you’re a star they let you do it” (I know, he’s not really a star anymore but…

I love emotional opportunity cost and plan to use it soon! 

You make a solid point. The mind does boggle. 

I just don’t understand how you still rent if you don’t order avocado toast. I understood that avocado toast was the only financial block standing in the way of younger people. Huh. It almost makes me wonder if financial wisdom as practiced in the media is crap? Because otherwise? Your renter status is inexplicable.…

One of my friends, long-time and beloved, recently told me in a phone call apropos of nothing that Marianne Williamson was “right about everything” and that the election would be sewed up by now if only we had nominated her. Which... Anyway, I’m worried about my friend. 

You don’t even have to tell me this. The only place I was wrong was on the page count. I had low three figures. Not 2,000 pages. Other than that? This is pretty much what I thought we were going to find out. I assume the abused exes will be talking soon as well. You know this guy did some bad shit to women. 

Your last paragraph really hits home. I feel so much concern trolling from every media outlet, “Oh, my, is Kanye ok? Let’s watch every crazy thing he did.” Oh, lord, and I’m commenting on this story. Off to examine my life choices. 

I have a friend who is depressed and who loses a ton of friends over her abusive, asshole behavior in her depression—which I know adds to her problems. I have another friend who withdraws into herself during depression but never lashes out at others. Both are suffering from mental illness, but it manifests…

Yes, I don’t know what’s happening with him, but I hope that he gets whatever help he needs. 

Do the kids still use the term “bad trip”? Because I’m thinking I’d be scared to drop a tab (do the kids still use the term drop a tab?) right now because I’d go on a bad trip. Maybe the microdosing is the secret? I don’t know. But, yeah, this 2020 trip is bad enough and I’m not a kid so my risk aversion is way up. A…
