I actually came here specifically for coverage of the impeachment hearings and am incredibly disappointed at the lack of it. I hoped for a liveblog (can’t stream at work), but any coverage is better than nothing. (Although, let’s be honest, I am mainly here for the comments.)

My sister is all about being a #girlboss when she shills her latest MLM and it makes me want to puke.

Yeah, my subconscious seems determined to challenge my moral compass.

Regarding Tinsley Mortimer, I think of the song from “Wicked” that says “happiness is what happens when all your dreams come true” and is basically about everything turning out “right” but due to such shitty circumstances that you can’t truly feel happy.

I had a nightmare last night that I accidentally bought an album that R. Kelly collaborated on (it was a completely imagined Adele album that he had a heavy hand in), and only learned of his involvement after the purchase was made. I was so upset with myself for not researching the album before purchase and…

This is something I was just discussing, as my company sent out invites to our holiday party yesterday. My company is generally on-point regarding company culture (focuses on empathy and treating employees as humans; benefits are good for the area, etc.), and part of this is making our holiday party a big event, with…

I remember a party in college in which a guy I was kinda-sorta dating told me I could sing the full lyrics of rap songs (I’m a white woman). He was insistent that he “just wanted to hear me say it [the n-word]”. I refused. I don’t care if I have permission, that’s not why I don’t say it. I don’t say it because it’s a…

My local Chik-Fil-A is always packed. I also live in the biggest city in a permanently red state, so I suspect it’s due in equal parts to delicious chicken and homophobia. 

There’s an awesome podcast called “The Worst Year Ever” following the Presidential race. Their latest episode was about Buttigieg and how he basically doesn’t have any real beliefs, beyond that he should be running the country. It was really interesting and informative and left me liking him even less than I had…

My current obsession, a podcast called Trashy Divorces, just covered Demi’s divorces and used her memoir as their main source material. It was really interesting; Bruce Willis came off as well-intended but a poor match. Ashton Kutcher didn’t come off nearly as well--he was young and immature and a giant asshole. 

Yes and no? If I send a pic/video to a person I am in a relationship with, I absolutely assume they will not share with others (and would feel incredibly violated if they did). Back in my Tinder days, though, I was fully aware that I didn’t know the people I was sending pics/videos to enough to expect them to respect…

Less creepy, but there is a similar phenomenon in which certain people drain watch batteries. I always thought it was a “me” thing, as I gave up on wearing watches when I received one as a child and it died the same day (I’d had the same problem before, but never same day). I wrote it up to always wearing cheap…

Do tell.

You just gave me goosebumps. At work. In front of a large, sunny window, surrounded by people. This one is going to stick with me.

I love your username. Nightvale is my happy place.

Yeah, I have less than no interest in sports, and even I enjoyed the Funbag! And the investigative reporting was phenomenal. Deadspin was the only sports website I *ever* went to, and it was 100% the way the writers could tie sports into things that actually mattered to me and how they commentors interacted. Shitting…

I grew up in the opposite of an urban area—we were too rural to offer honors classes and couldn’t afford to hire top-tier teachers. When my first-grade teacher realized that my reading level was eons beyond my grade level and state tests scored me as “gifted”, the only thing the school district could offer was putting…

Honestly, I am 50/50 on whether it was suicide or murder. It’s definitely one of the more plausible conspiracy theories I’ve heard, and he was tied to enough powerful people that it wouldn’t be shocking if someone had a plan and the means. On the other hand, this was a guy who thought he was special and above the law…

I have minimal interest in sports, and still often find relevant and interesting content on Deadspin. The writers and commenters are brilliant, and I would be incredibly sad if they “stuck to sports” as ordered. 

I. Love. GRITS. “All Fall Down” will be in my head all day now.
