A bit chilly at night here in Sacto, but otherwise still warm enough to dine outside with maybe a gas heater overhead and a light jacket. *stretches out legs, pours another glass of wine*

Unno, maybe you guys could tone it down with the dick and pussy stuff. #stillnotblocked #hoorayforprivateindustry

Meanwhile, I keep waiting for the sweater bag to come into fashion. It's basically a knit Snuggie you can wear out in public. Also it doesn't exist yet.

In health class in sixth grade, our teacher required us to draw the male reproductive system at least 7-8 times so we would get it right. There were about 30 kids in my class alone, and he had four classes a day. We sometimes wouldn't get our graded drawings back. If you do the math that's 8 x 30 x 4 = 960 peen…

I have no interest in seeing this movie because I am certain my own sex life is far more interesting. I am pro-kink and probably going to avoid this altogether.

Yes, I am very lucky!

I used to get loose change and MAYBE a dollar if I was real lucky. But to speak to how awesome my poor, single mom was... one day I lost a tooth and found a bag of glitter under my pillow the next morning. I showed the bag to my mom and she said, "the tooth fairy left you something very special: fairy dust!" I was…

I aspire to be this kind of philanthropist in my old age...or even now. I think we all needed this today.

"Sunlight at the CIA?" she sniffed. "I'm sorry, that's one place I don't need sunlight. I don't think they need to give me a lot of transparency at the CIA. Look, thousands of Americans were killed after 9/11. The Bush administration did what the American public wanted, and that was do whatever it takes to keep us…

I think you're absolutely correct.

I learned how to cook from this woman. Her show is relaxing, affable, accessible... she rarely ever cooks something that is out of the ordinary home chef's reach. I absolutely lover her!

This really surprises me, the whole 'crimingwhilewhite' hashtag. White lady here, and I have had enough cops yell, lecture, and move menacingly toward me that it isn't hard for me to believe POC when they say they get harassed for no good reason. I have been harassed by the police for no good reason. Maybe I remind…

I actually did it this year. Did not spend a dime on retail on Friday.

I was boycotting black Friday anyways because it's a nightmare. I like taking the day after Thanksgiving to be with friends, relax and contemplate being thankful. Mostly I can't be bothered with crowds. And now I have a good reason to stay home!

1) Congratulations on your divorce. Not enough people say that, and they should, you are free!

+1 agree. SO MUCH THIS

My mother, after my father died, stopped dating a few years after he passed. She has been steadfastly single for the last 25 years. While I often resented the problems (financial and logistical) that her choosing to be a single mother for such a long time created, I realized only recently how many more problems she…

Pretty sure I went on a date with this guy as well, although he gave up acting to become an (unsuccessful) talent agent.

I had the pleasure of driving (then) VA Assistant Secretary Duckworth around for an afternoon of campaign events in my home state a few years ago. She was the chillest, most down-to-earth pol I have me to date. Her flight came in late at the airport where I picked her up, and made us very late to various campaign…

Yes, rock on OK feminists, but fuck every single adult in this community who isn't offering support for the girls — children — who were violated and fuck them for not standing up as adults and giving condemnation for how they have been treated. One of these assaults took place after a church youth group meeting. Where…
