boo. You’re disappointing me, H&T, heading down that food-person rabbithole of preemptive dismissal. Never tasted StL pizza but it looks good in the pic. And any food that inspires all these passionate paragraphs deserves a fair hearing (synesthetically speaking). I just made Marcella Hazan’s canonical Bolognese from…

Ya know....sometimes you come to this site and a headline presents itself....and the combination of words is so random looking that you stare at them while your tortured brain tries to find some meaning, some order. And there is none.

“Getting from Virginia to Washington DC is like, really hard, actually.”  The Great General Robert E Lee.

... that believe he’s a CIA plant too make legit conspiracy theorists look bad.

I can’t help but feel very attacked by this comment, it’s terrifyingly pointed at me. 

She looks like she got busted for possession at Lilith Fair, to which she was dragged by a group of friends who want her to pledge allegiance to Ani Defranco, buy some colorful hippie throwback clothing that randomly reappeared in the 90’s, and stop staying in on weekends to read Anne Rice, and listen to Nine Inch…

I bet she might be super-Catholic. Her mother, as a Kennedy, is probably devout, and her father, from Austria, is almost certainly Catholic. The country must have been 99.9% Catholic when he was growing up there.

I’m sorry the person you were when you were younger embarrasses you so much now, but that does not make this album bad, it makes your perspective shallow.

I must say, I think family names are cute. And mixing them up slightly is forgivable when seven people in one family share the name.

Girl. No. This is a bad take and you should feel bad about it.

Well said. I’m going to send this comment to my eldest son, Earthworm Jim, for some perspective.

I wonder if it was a ‘unique’ spelling, or if her dad’s name was Shane and they wanted a feminine version? I’ve met several girls who were given their dad’s name with a slight alteration to make it a girl’s name. The common ones are standard (Victor/Victoria, Donald/Donna) but some were just sad, I’ve met a…

With a name like Truly Young, she could skip college and go straight to Bond girl.

My mom was INTO ATWT when she was pregnant with my little sister. Apparently the thing that jolted her out of it was the fact that I was getting a little too involved in it, and she thought it was probably not the best thing for a 4-year-old to be super into a plotline about a mother-in-law secretly poisoning her…

That’s amazing! I also have two sisters and we endlessly discussed the CBS soaps (could only watch in the summers!) We loved Damien Grimaldi especially; I’m a lesbian but had questionable male crushes on TV characters as a kid-Danny Tanner from Full House comes to mind

I think that, because her work is intensely vaginal, it makes you uncomfortable.

Crindy - I am so with you

I would love to be this naive about porn. There are so many things I know about porn I wish I could exorcise from my brain. I don’t like how there’s an implied pressure that you have to accept porn, even enjoy it to be a good feminist. There is too much ugliness in porn for me, I can’t ignore the “sex negativity” that…

I keep thinking back to the South Park episode where Kyle asks Tolken what he loves about rhe Honey BooBoo scenario and how it’s exploitive. He also asks “but what if it were a little black girl?” Tolken answers “But she isn’t. She’s white”.

And on other days, a merkin!
