The move was only about a block away so I felt comfortable being a little casual with my packing. One of my choices was to tape up the drawers of my night tables rather than empty them. My boyfriend at the time (now husband) handled the tape duty. When they arrived at the destination I noticed that the tape was a…

The writer’s here uniformly dislike mediocre white men who get more than they deserve. It’s a stance that I endorse.

Warren’s calling it like it is. I like it. I don’t know why she’s not the clear front-runner right now—besides the obvious reason that she’s a woman with the experience and vision to do a good job—but she absolutely should be. I’m still willing to be swayed during this primary, but I like Warren. I think she’d do a…

How come when she says, “No man can tell me what to do.” it’s all cool and badass but when I do it, I still get thrown out of Hometown Buffet for barefisting the gravy trough?! That’s the real sexism.

Apparently, it wasn’t just her own name she declined to say with 60 Minutes’s requisite lifelessnes, but she was also told she had “too much emotion” in her voice while reporting out stories. “So I was working on pulling myself down and flattening out my personality — which, for me, is actually not such a good thing,”…

Oof. And I JUST got done reading a David Brooks* hagiography of Biden focusing on his decency and ability to connect with people dealing with grief over lost loved ones.

Whhhooooooaaaa! William was a teen heartthrob of the highest caliber.  Right up there with JTT and Devon Sawa.  Harry was the dark horse in the looks department.  

It is completely bananas how much we pay for college. I went to community college for the first 2 years of undergrad in the late 90's/early aughts and thankfully that cost me less about $1,000 a semester. I could barely afford that. I had to work full time to pay tuition and rent but I lived in a relatively low cost…

So glad to see your still hanging in there! It was our first month back to trying after the etopic and I wasn’t feeling much of anything. Then I started crying at some Greatest Showman song on Pandora and went welp time to test. And it was faint but I got my positive! So far the cramping this time felt like it was in…

The problem is women, especially black women, making less money than men, money helps raising kids, money is what’s needed.

11 weeks pregnant here. trying real hard to be productive and clean the apartment, but i have to stop after every task because it’s all exhausting. hoping what they say about having more energy in the second trimester is true, because i just want to lay on my couch until i go back to work on monday.

I am currently pacing outside a function hall with my 6 week old strapped to my chest because he was about to blow his lid in the middle of a seder

I finally caught SNS! Also please ungrey me!!

If he hadn’t run against Ted Cruz, Beto O’Rourke would still just be another DLC back bencher in Congress, and that’s fine. But people needed to be excited about Cruz’s opponent, and thus the full weight and wealth and spotlight of Hollywood and NY liberals was invested in his Senate race. Because an empty vessel was…

Several years ago (it was either April or June in 2015), I was at this cool little spot that has karaoke night once a week. I am there with a bunch of friends of mine, rocking out as I do (I am a HUGE attention whore and also I love doing karaoke because I have a pretty decent voice and I’m really good at getting the…

I somehow scored an invite to the Black Panther premiere after party in New York and grabbed my cheeseburger and a table right by the entrance. I don’t get starstruck but I’ve loved Chadwick Boseman since 42 and as he passed by, my friend saw my mouth agape and quickly said to him “my friend loves you, will you take a…

I posted on this site once before about my encounter with David Cassidy (NYC bar, I was hammered, walked right into him and instead of saying “excuse me, I sang “I Think I Love You”, he was.... not impressed). The other one I have is this....

Note: I’m using “celebrity” in the most lenient sense. In high school, we took a day trip to the rock n’ roll hall of fame. While we made our way through we were stopped by Joseph Jackson aimlessly wandering and introducing himself. He had some bodyguard escorting him who would ask if you wanted to meet “Michael…

It doesn’t matter because rich white girls will still be able to get abortions so it will only be poor women and women of color who die. And Congress doesn’t care about those mortality rates. 

Well, that explains why he thought he could be president.
