Frank Zappa concert. I was in high school.

In my younger, punker days, going to DIY punk and metal gigs made up the bulk of my severely lacking social life. In those warehouses and basements, I bore witness to endless blood (both fake and real), moshing with countless stupid props, crowd-surfing furniture, an aerial silk dancer hanging in the center of a mosh…

A bunch of kids stole a ton of TP from the potopotties and started some shit. Eventually the band joined in the TPing and Black Joe’s bass player hit me square in the nuts with a roll. It was silly and painful.

I’ve told this story a million times, so no harm in telling it again. A group of friends and I went to see Wilco in the mid-‘90s, right after Uncle Tupelo had broken up. The Jayhawks opened, so it was a very crunchy alt-country crowd of mellow, thoroughly baked college kids.

I guess it’s time for me to talk about Extreme Elvis.

Late 80's Black Flag had just broken up. First tour of what would become the Rollins Band playing at this infamous joint in Detroit called the Graystone Hall. They were preceded by this motley band called Boom and the Legion of Doom from I think Kent OH?

I used to volunteer at an all ages music venue, although this happened before 17 year old me was bossing people around the space. A punk band dressed all in adult diapers for their set and before they played their final song they all pissed or shit into said diapers while on stage. Also one time a different band flung…

I’m a woman of color and I disagree with your opinions. It’s almost like we’re not all the same and don’t all share the same opinions. Weird. Anyway, I don’t think Olivia’s feelings aren’t valid. It’s just weird she’s aiming this type of criticism at these two bloggers. Why not take on Tom and Lorenzo? Or the other…

I have rolled in to the office while wearing my pjs with a coat over them to drop off forgotten items or sign in a kiddo who just missed the bell more times than I can count. Showing up is showing up, we can’t all be ready and having our best day every time an emergency arises. 

Are u trolling. What is this comment

agreed. i haven’t read it in quite some time but i always remember laughing and feeling very real warmth from them, because it felt like they were pulling for everyone they roasted. they wanted people to live their best lives and show up looking like it, but they didn’t do it in a demanding way. mayhaps i should start…

I haven’t read GFY in a long time, but my memory is that they were very affectionate towards a lot of ugly clothes and the people who wear them, and genuinely loved some of them. I remember them being surprisingly warm for a blog with such a catty premise, and it always felt like the target of criticism was the fashion…

I find it baffling. Go Fug Yourself isn’t even mean. They only talk about the clothes and do not body-shame, nor do they allow it in the comments. Olivia picked the wrong thing to complain about and as has been pointed out on twitter, is a massive hypocrite.

The hashtag is gross but criticism about the conservatorship is entirely warranted. Conservatorships are not for severely mentally ill, suicidal people or people with severe drug addiction, they’re for people who literally cannot care for themselves whatsoever on an adult level: elderly people with dementia, people in…

Every time I read one of your posts, I think we are somehow cosmic twins (besides our avatars and names). I also have an asshole sister that did similar things to the point where my parents were given custody of her child. The only difference is that my asshole sister is too stupid to charm anyone and while she has a…

oblig but also maybe the only appropriate reaction to any of this. i feel bad for her bc i feel like people forget that being famous isn’t her life, it’s her job. i’ve had to deal with serious mental health issues including hospital stays, medical leaves, etc while trying to maintain employment and one of the hurdles…

Even if she is being ‘held against her will’ it would probably be because she needs that level of intervention in the short term. There’s a very high bar for sectioning people in my area/experience. Sadly people in the middle of a mental health crisis are not always great at judging what is best for them.

And on top of that MANY women have major problems with latching and breastfeeding, or they don’t produce enough milk. The “breast is best” rhetoric is really dangerous because it’s gone the way of “only breast milk” rather then “when possible”. I know lots of women who are shamed for having to feed their children…

Tried to be super cool in front of my crush and his friends by pretending that I knew how to deep throat. Attempted to show them with a banana. Choked on it and then puked copiously all down my shirt and his jeans. Thank goodness we moved that summer.

Gay dude here. I was OBSESSED with this guy at the gym in college. Gorgeous, blonde, and drove around with a geriatric golden retriever in the back of his pickup truck. Legit snack. One day he saw me stretching (I begged my mother to let me take gymnastics and dance classes and wear lycra as a child—ahem—shoutout to…
