Loved it, finished it earlier this week and am considering listening to it again. I’m from Alabama, and went to school at UA, so I (in general) know the people and atmosphere well. It’s so well told — my dad used to tell stories the way John B tells them, which makes me sort of happy (my dad used to drone on…

I wouldn’t be surprised if it were. It’s that awesome.

Gosh, that’s a lot of hard stuff for both you and your daughter to be dealing with. She could be feeling any number of things for any number of reasons — especially because she’s a teenager, and especially because of her illness and medications.

Awwww! I’m so sorry you lost your animal companion! That is so difficult! And animals understand our emotions and how to deal with them in such a unique way — sometimes better than people!

OMG, I need this one for my friend that’s a neuroscientist. She’s not in it the field, anymore, but both of us are from different states in the South and she talks like that all the time!

My cats did the same thing for me once!!!!

I’ll be wearing red and not spending any money. I wanted to take the day off, because I have a good job, and yes, I’m privileged. However, I fucked up last week and didn’t get in until nearly 11 on a day when the higher ups needed information for a legislative hearing and the person I am taking over for had to put out…

Shhhh, whose side are you on?

Ah, I didn’t think about that! Thanks!

HELP!!! I am moving in a couple of weeks to a new apartment. I’m trying to get a roommate, but Craigslist is only giving me spam. I am in Sacramento, far from the Bay Area, and am a professional in her 30s (with a cat, of course, apparently).

Look, y’all! We are LEGION!

That is a disservice to Lady MacBeth....

Detention is the internment.

Just in case there are people in or near Sacramento tomorrow that want to protest:

Don’t let anyone gaslight you. Your hackles were up for a reason, and it’s ok. The dude rang your doorbell after some not-run-of-the-mill behavior. It’s ok to be scared and want to protect yourself.

I am so sorry, Sumayyah! I’m not sure what to do other than donate to the ACLU, post on FB and yell. My heart is with you and the family that wants to come over.

Can you link to something on this? I’d like to share. Thanks.

Good to know that some batshit crazy stuff doesn’t get passed, but I know longer have a good gauge of these things. Since when? Since Nov. 8, 2016. Fuck.
