For a second, I was wondering which Jezebel writer had been hawking her own book. And then I realized what you meant.

The gap between Obama, a true scholar, a man of unwavering integrity, hope, a profound sense of what the word justice means, (see his nonviolent crime drug related charges pardons) and then the comparison to the vile filthy, racist, mysoginist, that makes a living off shorting anyone and everybody that he ever met.

how refreshing to get reading recommendations of the works others, as opposed to sales pitches about books of your own.

Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner is an all Inuit movie, filmed on location, and it’s awesome.

Scientists have been saying that Alaska is going to be the place to go to for all the climate refugees in the next 20 years. I’ve been once and want to go back so much!

Mystery, Alaska is one of my most favorite films ever

I am so jealous of you for having an Irish wolfhound!!! I don’t have the room for such a beastie, my dog is probably not much bigger that your dogs poops BUT a wolfhound would top my list if I did. I saw a lady with two of them on the beach and their heads came up to my waist.

I am so sorry. What a douche.

Sheela you are beautiful and built for snow!!

She’s sick and her meds make her hyper. She pummeled me with toys because her depth perception is always changing. When she realized that it hurt once I kind of Hid behind my arms? Kiss and long hug. Seriously, my brother in law is a jerk.

So what approach am I supposed to take with a man who is basically hanging divorce over my sisters head with taking the child out of spite?

This isn’t a movie but have you seen The Last Alaskans on Animal Planet/Discovery? It’s so beautifully shot and their stories are really interesting. The people who are featured have this depth and resilience that is super admirable. I’ve gotten a couple of friends hooked on it (although I don’t think there are future…

Beautiful doggie!

The high point of my day was breakfast, I wanted the Boston creme pancakes from a hipster brunch place downtown and after inviting my kids to go with me they bailed, and my husband was still…

I’m was so mad last night. I have a 19 month old niece and my brother in law hit her hand for accidentally grazing his face with her fingernails. I tell him it’s not ok to hit a child and he goed and tells me to not tell him how to raise his kid and that I’m out of line. What the fuck? As her aunt, it is my business.…

I’ve learned my lesson, too! (*gleefully flaunts $7 Cost Plus earrings*)

I love seeing Sheela.

You are good people. Thanks for caring for the kitty.

My neighbor in my new apartment has not brought her cat in, despite it being 19 degrees outside. I’m on my way to get supplies to make one of those cat shelter things with a plastic storage tote.
