No, this is good. We should support and encourage her.

Can’t nap on it = not a couch.

Jeez, I hadn’t meant to come off as condescending, although it’s entirely possible that I did. I apologize. My enthusiasm for the other bands have gotten the better of me. I hate music assholes, and certainly don’t want to be one.

I don’t why your post doesn’t have more stars. Goddamn it, it should have more stars.

Still, I would gladly give up real money to see what Jimi Hendrix would have done if he hadn’t died at 27.

I don’t want to shit on Courtney Love, 1) because that’s gross, and 2) because there’s so much other great music from that time , which I know, because I “lived through this”. I think you deserve better.

I was at a party a couple of years after Cobain died, (I would have been about 25 then,) when someone in our little conversational group brought up where he was when he first time he heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. We all started telling where we were when we first heard it. Some people adjacent to us at the party…

I saw part of this discussion, I think it was on CNN. They said flatly that since he was still in the military that if called to serve that he had to. There was also some talk about his only having thee stars and how he would technically be above the other four star Generals in the Cabinet, especially Mattis, and how…

Well, that explains Milo Yiannopoulis’ love of negative attention.

It’s not unrealistic to imagine Trump et all in The Hague for what you just know is coming.........

Yeah, I knew that was obscure, but I thought I’d try it anyway.

I have two cautionary bits of advice for you, regarding what I wrote above:

Uncle Donald’s dacha?

Congratulations! And from now on, whenever someone congratulates you, you can respond, “Oh, it was nothing.......” and watch how embarrassed they get/ how hard they laugh. This was probably my favorite thing to do when I was pregnant, besides sleeping and eating peanut butter on toast.

Above everything else, don’t lose heart. Depression always follows that, and quickly.

New Yorker cartoons are iconic. Congratulations to you!

I don’t know why, (I’m not quite sure how my own mind works, to be honest,) but just YESTERDAY I realized that all of my favorite authors write with a sense of “urgency”. That’s the word that popped into my head. It’s more than just “conflict” or even “suspense”. It’s a quality that the main character or characters…

I often think of, yes, an Internet meme when I’m obviously getting trolled:

Yeah, free speech means you’re allowed to say what you think. It doesn’t mean it’s compulsory for the rest of us to have to listen to your bullshit, Milo and Bill.

It definitely is shorthand, but one that we should stop using. I don’t want Trump, or the Republicans and all Americans are lumped together, either. We should be careful in the hope that others will also see this separation. Let’s always assume that people aren’t necessarily represented by their Governments.
