So, full disclosure: I was an army wife for a period, divorced my ex who is still a soldier, and we are both happily remarried and we all get along, lalala

There’s has never been anything irrational about hating James Corden.

I live in New Zealand and my neighbor has sheep that say “meh” like they’re constantly underwhelmed by everything.

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

Dude, helpful ghosts can be incredibly nice. The ghost in our house was a dick to me throughout my childhood (I posted about it last year, but I would have to dig through last year’s entries to find my story), but after my father died when I was ten and my mother and her new husband got really, really abusive, that…

LAUGHING right now!

I wrote about a different creepy thing last year that happened in this same house, but I can’t find that post anymore (Thanks, Kinja!). Anyway, here’s another one that happened about a year before that other one.

This is a story my grandmother told me when I was a kid —

This story isn’t supernatural but it’s 100% true and probably the closest I’ve (knowingly) come to being in serious trouble.

Lol animals are the worst, they will fuck with you, no joke.

Ok, I love this time of year, so forgive the new account, but I wanted to tell the story my grandmother told me. I can’t vouch for it completely, but she’s a very no-nonsense woman and I’ve never caught her in a lie (besides maybe how many martinis she’s had). Anyway, we’ll call her Betty. Betty grew up in Kansas in…

Love this feature when I discovered it last year! I wrote something up in preparation for this Halloween:

This is not a ghost story, but a horrible human encounter. This happened about 4.5 years ago:

Do you remember the story about how the kid was writing a paper with headphones on and there was writing all over the house that said “LOOK AT ME”? It still haunts me and that was I think like 3 years ago.

YES. THIS IS MY FAVORITE POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that’s a waterbed because Lea Michele seems excessively thirsty.

I was at the airport bar a couple weeks ago when a young woman realized she left her wallet in the car. She left ALL HER THINGS at the bar (it was in Iowa) and ran to her car to retrieve it. A handful of men were there and they were all trying to figure out how she got to the airport bar without it.

My boss (a very lovely middle aged white cis man) and I were discussing this today, and he expressed his shock that Hollywood tolerates so many men like Weinstein. Despite years of rumours and these facts being considered barely kept secrets, they are not only allowed to continue abusing people but their abuse is…

Not just a presser. This was the Prime Minister’s speech at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. It is the single most important speech a Prime Minister has to give each year as it sets out the thrust of the government’s legislation without all that tedious need to be strictly legal or polite.

There was also the delightful spectacle of Amber ‘I don’t need to understand encryption to stop people using it’ Rudd forcing the rest of the Cabinet to give May a standing ovation every time the PM coughed. It got utterly hypnotic. Every time she cleared her throat they were leaping to their feet applauding like a…
