Don’t worry, if it was apocalypsing outside I wouldn’t be wasting phone battery on this post. Barry is just hovering over the Gulf like an asshole, shooting protein shakes and throwing tires around at Crossfit so he’ll be in good shape to pummel us.
Softshell crabs taste like putting a whole goddamn cockroach in your mouth.
Wanted to download some stray thoughts here.
I...uh, to put this bluntly...am I mess right now. As I am constantly telling everyone, I am self employed. Yay! Yay? The past year has been chaotic. Annoyingly, it’s good reasons - it’s that I have made some big moves in my self-started career and am suddenly being bombarded with opportunities. I went from very…
My husband and a bunch of my friends’ businesses are on this boycott list for participating in a Planned Parenthood fundraiser coming up. If you need a great list of restaurants to patronize when you next visit New Orleans, I’ve got you:
My husband WILL NOT binge watch a show. What is wrong with him?! He’s not super into TV (and I definitely am) and we only ever have maybe one show we are “watching together” and that fucker is all like “ok we watched an episode, we can just watch the next one in a week.” What is this?! Then he goes off to work all…
Louisiana’s DEMOCRATIC governor signed a 6 week abortion ban today. I feel like vomiting. And if I and others don’t reelect him this year, progress on climate, our budget crisis, criminal justice reform and expanding Medicaid is all in jeopardy. I am supposed to show up for this asshole. I don’t know what I’m going to…
I have an assortment of grievances:
Random question for no reason. Just curious as to what people’s personal styles are.
I have some kind of feeling about this and I can’t pinpoint it: amusement? Annoyance? Surprise? My brother is in town (not staying with me because it’s for other things) but we had dinner and I asked about my dad’s new girlfriend, and apparently she is mother-in-law to a guy I graduated high school with. I remember…
I’m illustrating a children’s book right now that will be geared specifically towards boys who live in rural Louisiana. I’m making sure all the scenes with people have lots of racial diversity and women doing “man” things like driving boats and men doing “woman” things like carrying children and cooking. And there…
I present to you, a cranky vent:
Good morning, hive mind. I’m on a decorations committee for a local family shelter’s gala this year, and we were thinking for centerpieces for tables we’d have the families in the shelter make something (they have a lot of guided craft time so there’s already structure in place for it). I....have some blind spots with…
To buy a refurbished phone that’s not certified by the manufacturer/company? I am having some alarming problems with my iPhone (like it seems like it’s just shorting out haha) and am bracing for them to tell me I need to get a new one when I go to the repair place tomorrow, so I was trying to price it out and see what…
I’m hosting a small Christmas dinner (nothing fussy) and I am lacking in inspiration of what I want to make. Growing up my family didn’t really have a consistent tradition with the food (and I cook better than my mom haha) so I don’t have like, a hankering for anything. Inspire me! Also I’m going to probably make a…
I want to surprise my husband with little mini vacation as a Christmas gift, and I’m thinking we’d go to Nashville in late January. (It has to be late Jan). Can anyone from the area tell me: am I gonna have a bunch of snow troubles? Googling doesn’t give me a good sense of how much winter weather they typically get.…
The talented Alexandra Petri in an Op Ed for the Washington Post:
I know I haven’t been around much, and some of you are probably like, who the fuck is this? But I’ve returned with an agenda. If you can vote in the US and haven’t, please do. Do it for the people who can’t - especially those who the Republicans have been trying to keep from voting. Do it for me, if no one else! Do it…
From my friend’s FB. He said he sent the pics to the Root already.
In the past few months I have had a memory of reading a sci-fi/fantasy book as like a 5th or 6th grader (around 1995), and it’s been driving me nuts because I can’t remember enough of it to string a plot together or find it again. It’s going to sound like I don’t know much about it but what I do remember is that I…
