“I have lots of pie recipes and pictures of pie and I picked some berries, made a pie crust, made a berry pie, cut the berry pie, somehow the pie got eaten, and I broke all the dishes and then threw them in the ocean. I don’t know who the fuck ate that pie, though.”

I feel the faint stirrings of warmth creeping into my cold, dead heart. I want it to be true, but I’m wary, so very wary.

I’ve quickly learned (from Captain Awkward: go there right now if you’ve never been, I have grown so much as a person and a “bitch) that having a “script” of responses takes a lot of the pressure off. Next time potential FIL says something racist, look him in the eye, let the silence become just a bit uncomfortable,

One thing it took me a long time to learn in my 20s was that I don’t even actually WANT to be friends with a lot of people I used to know. They’re fine people, but their lifestyles diverged from mine and it turns out that simply living down the hall from someone for a year in college isn’t enough to sustain a

Honestly, why did this take so long?? I remember stories about him being a creep 10 years ago!

How unfortunate that so many people are responding to this heartfelt piece with their own biases. Whether or not YOU find a religious congregation worth pursuing, whether or not YOU believe in God or faith is not the point.

Yeah, we heard the rumors or at the very least, read the models who wrote clear reports of his manipulations, harassments and even assaults but...what could we do? He’s an artist we wanted to use and that’s more important! Now with this Weinstein mess (Hi, Harvey! Sorry I’ll have to cancel on dinner tomorrow tonight

Pro tip: Things that give off heat are also enjoyable to be around when it’s cool out!

Thank you, Rob Giordano, for not fanning the flames of suspicion during this terrible tragedy. Latinos have been some of the hardest hit of all. The shelter closest to where I live is essentially mostly composed of displaced farmworkers. These are the persons who cultivate and harvest the food upon which much of the

I grew up in Santa Rosa, have family there, and live close enough that I’ve been up several times in the past couple of weeks. The devastation to Santa Rosa is heartbreaking, but what is heartening is that the community is really pulling together, and most of the city is intact, with stores open and services

Any chance we can put Beverley on LaVar Ball next?

Not really, since that’s presuming that they were paying attention to the behavior of a single donor who didn’t even contribute that much. If there were people even within Hollywood who didn’t know, why are we assuming the Democrats were paying attention to rumors from a completely different industry, for a person

And I’m sure that’s the biggest reason why he hasn’t shown up yet, honestly.
