My mom's name is Eva, & being super Catholic & super Mexican, decided she was going to name her "son" (because with a 1986 ultrasound machine the visuals are a bit less than reliable) & in a quirky twist, name him Adan. So they could be "Adan y Eva." Or, Adam & Eve. GROSS, amirite?!

Thankfully, I was born sans-weiner,…

bullshit on top of bullshit. for every chicken raising, tattoed, fascinator-making liberal arts educated woman in Oakland i know, i also have a bike mending, bread baking, bearded underemployed male programmer/analyst. but it goes both ways. lady graphic designers, male anthropology majors, etc. we're all screwed but…

for the 80s: PERM. all day. erryday. see exhibit 1:

ok i saw her perform at a drag show in SF where she was the headliner (NATCH) and she finished with "and i am telling you (i am not going)"... her hair was thrice as big as this image & she was BEEEAUTIFUL! made my life.

WE ARE NOT MIDGETS! That is a hurtful word, and I have to tell people very frequently that I am EXACTLY 5 feet tall, that is far beyond the maximum height to be considered a "little person," and that's not their goddamned business. I feel you on being petite. And it seems like people think you should be flattered that…

props.

totally kidding, brah :) if i wasn't, i could think of something better than "pipsqueak" lol

PLEASE let it be Tavi Gevinson.... I am just dying for that little pipsqueak to get hers. Nobody should be actual, real-world cool at 13, I mean best-case scenario you should be hanging out w/o supervision at the mall with your BFF & some older dudes with skateboards in front of Sam Goody's.

i can't say whether this 50 Shades is good or bad, but i'll defer to the jezzie's judgment on this one. though my mom's friend at work WAS so into a 50 Shades book one day that she couldn't put it down & forgot to pick up her kid from school.

i think it's more like, in prison rapists are treated like the lowest of the low by other criminals. while other guys are in there for stuff like possession, dealing or robbery (like my dad was), if they know that a dude is in there for rape, ESPECIALLY a little kid, that guy will not only be raped himself, he'll…

both parties like to give the little song & dance to minorities about how much they are going to do right by them, while simultaneously trying to appease the status quo into believing that they are going to do their damndest to protect their well-being, too (be it from immigrants, overseas job stealing corporations,…

no, they get pre-birth certificates.

bananas, why? bananas SUCK! why not just throw a spikey blue shell & knock out all the competitors until you're in the lead?

i read too quickly and thought it said "missy elliot got a tattoo near her crotch" and was very disappointed when i clicked the link.

you can't remove the racist elements from a mark twain novel, because his writings were almost all essentially about racial issues, or at least touched heavily upon them. to ignore them would be remiss. so i say, let's just forget tom sawyer/huck finn and do another little house on the prairie revival.

the Kristen Bell/Dax Sheppard/Beiber story is totally worth clicking on the link, if only to read the comments... the vitriol of a Belieber scorned is nothing to laugh at. actually, no, it is definitely something to laugh at.

that's suckramento for you. there's a 3x3 block square in midtown that's kind of cool surrounded by MILES of sprawling hicktowns. no doubt it's the population of the latter making most of those comments... it's scary to know that's my state capital.

or how bout this? a show featuring characters who are POC where racial issues are NOT the central dynamic? i feel like that's part of the reason shows about us get pidgeon-holed and die. obviously it's got to play SOME part, because if it's entirely ignored then it's obviously not going to be true to the life…

the hardest time i gave my mom when i was a teenager was starting my homework too late so i had to stay up til midnight finishing work for all my A.P. classes. my brother, on the other hand, punched through a wall once & was brought home by the Sheriff's Dept when he got into a fight that was allegedly "gang related"…

ooh glad to know i was finally ahead of a trend. and here i thought i was just being lazy!
