Shelter Cat Update!

So, my mother’s sorority roommate’s daughter got married this past summer in the ritziest and most canned sequence of events I’ve ever attended. The bride is in her late 30s and wanted A Wedding (tm). Her parents are divorced and her mother spends every penny of her alimony trying to keep up with her former lifestyle-…

One time I asked Karolina Kurkova about it, and even she said it’s “so stupid.”

Someone once told me that the world—or this country—is getting more progressive as time goes on. While perfection in terms of civil rights for minority groups doesn’t exist, we have certainly made strides. Sure, we could have made more advances, but some people are frightened when the world in which they were raised…

OMG you guys!!!!!! Kendra Horn (D) just won my Congressional District by 4,000 votes, one of them mine!!!! This is the first time a Democrat has represented my district in my lifetime.

Parenting. Janet Lansbury has a podcast called Unruffled that’s especially great at addressing stuff like this, using…

Spanking and yelling* at kids are both demonstrably harmful, whether it rises to objective levels of “abuse” or not. And both are usually rooted in trying to compel compliance and obedience. There’s just no room for respecting the child and where they’re at in the authoritarian model of parenting. But that…

This past week felt like it would never end, and ended on a pretty shitty note... but my Halloween makeup was amazing and I haven’t shut up about it since Wednesday

Hi what happened to SNS, a lot of commentators really would appreciate knowing. We all look forward to it. 

After my granFanda died, I discovered she had snuck little bits of money into money markets, CD’s and savings accounts in my name since my birth. I was notified of this by her sister via a post card with my first clue (because she made it a treasure hunt). All told she left me 24k. The knowledge of that money, of the…
