Seriously, Joe Biden has a long history of not-great policies (busing, Iraq, and the crime bill, just to start), Kamala Harris wanted to lock parents up for truant kids and supported laws that endangered sex workers, half the candidates have no plans and are only running so they can get a job on CNN and Warren...…

“...I’ve been told by my American friends that only immigrants really shop at Costco.”

None o these dudes look remotely like Elvis.  Miles Teller barely has a face so surely you don’t really think he looks like Elvis.

Yeah, and to add to this, before the “but I have problems too!!!!” crowd gets here, I wanna say something I’ve noticed. When white people aren’t allowed childhoods, it’s for different reasons that I think are a lot easier to address.

Depression, mental illness and social media are such a toxic combo. Someone suffering can be lifted up by the well-wishing of others, but they can also be shoved into very dark depths by those that are inconsiderate and hateful. Sadly, the power of hate too often seems to overwhelm any positivity that comes with…

My pre-teen self loved her novels. I learned all sorts of fun stuff that wasn’t included in sex-ed class. She knew exactly what her readers wanted, and wasn’t filled with pretension about her work. I wish more writers were like her.

Romantic scenes and a romance subplot aren’t enough. For it to be romance, there absolutely has to be a happy ending. Happily Ever After (usually marriage) or sometimes Happy for Now. The relationship also has to be the main focus. I think the Sookie Stackhouse series is more Urban Fantasy, a genre where a love…

The genre is so maligned that an unapologetically progressive black woman who looses the Governor’s race in Georgia by the skin of her teeth can have her background as a romance writer treated like something she should be embarrassed about, and sex scenes from her book read aloud on air against her expressed wishes.…

The way people talk about the romance genre upsets me so much that I just try to avoid thinking about it too much. It’s the best selling genre in the world, a huge number of smart women read these books, and people act as if it’s the dumpster fire of publishing. There is obviously a lot to unpack in this particular…

watching her ruin old business contacts by trying to get them involved

It makes me so fucking sad. I have a friend who is a single mom and has recently started working on the “travel business” for an MLM. She believes she is a travel agent in her spare time and she is spending all sorts of time (and I assume money) on this bullshit. She recently posted a thing about how she was so…

If you haven’t consumed them already, I recommend the podcast “The Dream” about MLMs (https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/09/the-dream-podcast-preview)

This is the perfect time for Jezebel to do a long piece about how MLMs prey on vulnerable women in the name of feminism and financial freedom when the reality is it sucks them dry and leaves them friendless and poorer than they started out.  It’s so gross how MLMs work and what they do to people. 

No. Nope. Just use these.

I despise the term “bridezilla”. People, regardless of sex, typically get stressed at some time or another about weddings as they can be stressful to organize.

Our city, and I would guess most, is part of a municipal league that provides insurance to fight big legal battles. I hope their carrier drops them, and they have to fight the constitutionality themselves, which they can’t afford. Also, they should force the city to provide prenatal care and shelter for all “unborn”…

Waskom, Texas: where we love to waste taxpayer money on lawsuits brought because we decided to posture about issues that don’t affect us.

You see, ladies, there’s the fake meeting/conference and the real meeting/conference.

The problem with a lot of these people is that if it doesn’t “feel” right to them, then it has to be wrong.  Feelings always trumps facts with them.

Drake is such a cringe-lord.
