Grand Avenue Mall in Milwaukee has been on deathwatch for a good 30 years. And it’s only been open for 40-some years. I wish they’d stop trying to make it a mall; it’s a beautiful building, originally built as offices in the 1920s. It’s slowly being taken over by non-profits and business incubators.

*raises white hand* Yes. Yes it is.

Yeah, I vaguely remember some Irish friends when I was living in Dublin referring to “Irish” pubs abroad as “places with bicycles and shit hanging from the ceiling and leprechauns on the walls”

I posted it on her facebook page and she responded “Already on it.” Which means she already got “Oh for fuck’s sake!” out of her system. She doesn’t own the place, but it’s a hipster brunch spot, so there’s a possibility “Get the fuck out of my bar!” happens. Luckily it’s only her side gig. 

Ditto. I switched off between Jordan and Joey, so I guess final answer is Joey. He did sing Happy Birthday to me once. I was way up in the upper balcony of the arena, but it was actually my birthday and I’m sure he totally saw me.

My cousin is both proudly Irish and a vocal BLM supporter. She is also a bartender with no filter, so I cannot wait to hear about the shame she will rain down on anyone wearing this or an “Irish Lives Matter” shirt.

Yup. I was handed The Watchtower once and there was an article about global warming. In a nutshell, it said, “Some people think humans are contributing to global warming. Other people don’t. Whichever is the truth, God will make sure everything’s okay.”

Yup. I describe my dad when I was younger as “the guy who lived in the house.” Just last week my mom was telling me how when she finally reached her limit doing all the cooking, cleaning and childcare, she told my dad it was his responsibility to make sure we went to the dentist. To him, telling my teenage sister…

It’s sad that it even has to exist, but Donors Choose lets you do that. Teachers ask for money for specific projects/needs. I’ve helped out some neighborhood teachers through it. I don’t have kids, but I had a damn fine public school education and I vehemently believe that every kid deserves the same, whether they…

Waiting for my real estate agent so I can make an offer on MY FIRST HOUSE. Also waiting for my mom to get back with food from the greek place down the block because my agent is running three hours late and I’m starving!!!

I am crying white tears...because I’m laughing so much. I cannot wait until my fellow white people get over themselves.

Feel free to have secret white meetings and email chains about these helpful tips.

“I’m very smart! I don’t have to come to class!”

Why am I seeing this on the second-to-last day of February?? I’ve been missing out on seeing this sweet cherub face for four weeks??? I’m gonna OD looking at all this #BlackGirlMagic in one day (I’d like to think I have a high tolerance, but I am white, so...).

I used to feel uncomfortable around some trans women, until I realized they were mostly in their late teens/early twenties...and were acting just like normal, overly dramatic teenage girls. From then on, all uncomfortableness was due to me being An Old: “Um, no, I don’t have a Snapchat account...”

Oh shit, you’re right. The poll he quoted was 55%. The real number is 40%. Gaaaahhhhh.

That doll does not do her justice. She has such a great smile, and the doll looks like it’s about to take the SAT.

The poll he quoted was an outlier. Most other polls have him around 30%. Which means that only one-third of this country is delusional....Yeah, way less terrifying...

I’m in a different situation- I can afford to take a day off, but I work for a very small company (13 people, 8 of them women). Although the president of the company is a Republican (in mostly the ‘fiscal conservative’ vein), he is a very generous employer and doesn’t bring his politics to work (the vast majority of…

Kara, I love you and I love Shade Court, but I would totally understand if you took a few weeks off....
