I recognize all of them as a reader of Details and The Village Voice. Also recall Karen Finley since I’m aware of her art. Too bad I didn’t live in NYC during the heyday of the downtown scene but no one cares about my regret more than me.

I knew them all. But mostly from the Michael Alig case. Plus they were all on Phil Donahue and/or Geraldo (I think?)

I do think the majority is German mit a bissel of the other two. But if you want to blow your friend’s minds, this is the best glossary I’ve ever found because it’s english to yiddish. http://kehillatisrael.net/docs/yiddish/y…

Firefox is a bloated piece of crap, tho. I guess it’s currently the most popular browser but I can’t even work out why as it eats CPU. I guess it’s very customisable.

For the first day or so I was driving myself to the brink of exhaustion finding evocative star images for every comment that I wanted to star, then someone clued me in. I don’t remember who, but in gratitude I set off to spread his star gospel. This was what I was doing. For EVERY COMMENT:

You had to find the star “G-Spot”

Or as I like to say it :Fun dayn moyl in gots oyern. (yiddish)

You sparked a memory. We get a fair bit of snow here in winter. Whenever the newscast announced 10 or more inches, I would say, quite clearly, in any kind of crowd "Well hey! who wouldn't want 10 inches!?" Silence and blank stares always followed (i really need to get the fuck outta here...).

Well, I’m 64 and I think any young person’s death for whatever reason is a helluva lot more tragic than mine would be even if I dropped dead today. I’m not looking to die anytime soon, but I’ve had my shot, added my small contribution and made my difference. My death now would be part of the natural order, and not a

IDK, I am an old person (in my 50s), and I do think it would be less tragic if I were struck down, after having a life already, as opposed to someone who is, say, 18.

I was immediately upset by the title of this article. “Why do popular, attractive, and talented people commit suicide” ? I don’t know. Why do they get cancer? Mental illness and specifically depression is a real illness for people like any other life threatening disease.

“Suicide is tragic enough, but it’s particularly bewildering when young people who appear to have it all take their own lives.”

Agreed.

i hope they do protest the DNC as well

I am a volunteer counselor for PP, and I take this very personally. That’s my information that is out there, that’s me potentially having to deal with identity theft. And while we are at it, this is my uterus, my life. These people are as low and deceitful as they come. And BTW— WE KNOW WHO DID THIS because the

It’s hot as fuck and I have a migraine. Translation: I HAVE NO FUCKS AVAILABLE FOR DEALING WITH THESE SHITHEELS. Fuck off and leave me and my uterus alone, you sanctimonious hypocrites.

These fucking people. Anti-choicers, I mean. You guys damn near give me a rage stroke.

Oh yeah. It was an event in my house. I was about eight years old. We woke up early to watch the wedding. It was amazing. A great bonding moment between me and my mom. Then when she died. I’m not British, but I sobbed like a baby.
