All good bookstores must have a shop cat.

I used to work at a strip club in Dupont Circle D.C. that was a block away from the utterly fantastic Kramerbooks & Afterwords, a 24 hour bookstore and cafe.

My mom still thinks the tramp stamp I got 17 years ago is henna that I keep getting redone. You believe what you want to believe.

Once, in a fit of drunken derring-do, at the height of Riverdance mania, I convinced an entire bar in France that I was an accomplished Irish step dancer. I've never taken a lesson in my life.

The only lies I've ever gotten away with were the ones the other person wanted to believe. I am the worst. I look like I'm lying when I'm telling a truth I know someone isn't going to believe, and then they're like, "Uh look at your lying ass face" and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

god dammit, the first time in the history of ever i've been on the pissing contest before there were 18 million comments and I AM THE WORST LIAR ON THE PLANET.

Sometimes I feel like lies don't count as lies when the truth is nobody's business anyway.

This is good. When parents who put their children in conversion therapy are charged with child abuse will be even better.

So here's a story from my days as a freshman news reporter at a Jesuit university. First week on the gig I was given the task of covering the Pro-Life Club's trip to the annual Pro-Life March in DC. Apparently the SOP was just to reprint the press release you got from the Pro-Life Club, but I went and tried to do some…

the permitting privs is a HUGE one that's working across the country, bc the average layman thinks it sounds reasonable, because they have 0 idea of what abortion procedures entail.

Personally, I think it all comes down to being brainwashed with American exceptionalism and THIS IS MURICA INDIVIDUALS FREEDOM PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY BLAH BLAH

I've been waiting to use this one. Black's Books really just speaks for all life moments.

OMFG I never realized how badly I needed to see raptors on motorcycles until RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!!

Life can be pretty difficult, and cigarettes are a small thing you can do to make it easier. Working two jobs? Nothing like a couple quick stimulants to get you through the night shift. Miserable situation at home? Abusive patents? Depressed? Yeah, stress relief in a stick. Cigarettes calm you down if you're too up,…

...it's a great thing.

Oh my God what happened to you as a child I am so sorry

There's sooooooo much of this that is an utter abomination, however, THANK YOU for calling out pineapple as being fucking disgusting on pizza. Pineapple gets too much hype as a fruit in general, much less adding it to bread and tomato sauce and cheese and acting like that's acceptable.
