Ok, so this story definitely falls into the “kids say the creepiest things” catagory, but there’s a helluva coda at the end of it, so stay with me. I promise every word of this true. This is what took me from ghost agnostic to believer.

The Little Boy with the Brown Coat

My partner and I bought our forever home just a couple of years ago during COVID. While we’re still very happy with our home, it came with something extra that we didn’t expect.

This might not be as scary as others, but it freaked me out and I’ve waited a whole year to share. Last year, there was a story in the Top 10 about a Black Dog at Army Camp. The poster talked about going to the river to watch a meteor shower. I know where that is. I’ve been there, taken my kids to swim in the river…

It’s perfect.
If people got Maggie Rogers being wistful in white on the rocks of Maine, we queer people deserve Billy doing camp with just a touch of acid.

I was a fan of the original Spin and it never felt the same without her. DJ’s where the main draw when this all jumped off and should always be a part of hip hop culture. Go way back and look at the progression of old school party flyers. The DJ’s where the highlights, then the crews and the the MC’s. But…

It always weirded me out that Christian groups got mad about the magic spells in Harry Potter but never mentioned the family that made a child live in a cupboard.

I was all set to write a reply about how mad I am but honestly this is too stupid. Like, sociopathic and repulsive, but also just so, so stupid. Only someone really stupid would think they were smart for coming up with this. The fact that someone this stupid has also committed heinous crimes and gotten away with them…

Uh yeah, this was pretty standard when I went to high school. I may be aging myself... It was just slightly past the peak of 90s HIV paranoia, and before the abstinence-only stupidity wave hit, so preaching “safe sex (but abstinence is still best)” was de rigueur. Part of which, unfortunately, involved scaring the…

“Goth Eileen Fisher” needs to happen. Growing up, I always associated the label with my school’s art teacher and the sort of 50+ women who filled their days with pottery class. But in these post-normcore days, dare I say it doesn’t look so bad?

real talk though, she looks like she was just pining for her youth in front of a Zoltar machine.

Do not trick me into clicking on a source again thinking it’s going to be a long overdue update on MC Hammer just to feel disappointment when I discover it’s actually about Armie Hammer. I do not give a fuck about Armie Hammer’s tracksuit.

This guy puts the rise of Meghan Markle from mildly successful actress to motherfucking Princess to shame.

I’m 42. If I wind up being 1/10 the woman Emma Gonzalez is right this very second, I will consider it a win. I’m in absolute awe of her.

The politicians don’t have 1/100th the courage that these kids do. They do not know what they’re up against. Ignore them at your own peril.

The kids are alright.

Slam poetry, and in particular that girl’s slam poetry is so powerfully cool.

What an amazing young woman! I’m so glad my twelve year old niece was there to hear her speak in person. My sister is a fantastic mom. I’d like to believe my niece will have that kind of courage and conviction when she gets older. I just pray it doesn’t have to ever come under the same circumstances again.

I keep hearing she was ‘overwhelmed by nerves,’ etc. I think it’s more likely that she’s dealing with PTSD- puking is a common symptom especially when reliving the event. It undermines the seriousness of the situation to say she’s just got charming ‘nerves’ or ‘stage fright.’
