I was a total fuck up throughout my 20's and a little bit into my 30's. Never wanted kids. But then something happened around 35 and I got married to a cool human being, stabilized my mental health and addiction situation and my POV began to change. I thought I would be this cool lone wolf person forever, but I…

They haven't. Until now, I guess.

I think Dr. John's "Down in New Orleans" would fit that bill perfectly. All the music from the soundtrack is really good.

If anyone is interested in taking a deep dive to learn exactly how and why this is a momentous change and learn the history of this film, I suggest Karina Longworth's excellent podcast 'You Must Remember This'. Her season 'Six Degrees of Song if the South' is well researched and gives in depth explanation of how the…

Hahahaha, prequel? There is no one defining Arthurian legend. There's like, thousands. All mixing the characters and names and places and motivations, it's seriously messy. I think it's just a different take on the Tennyson version most folks know, with a dash of the pre Christian older lore.

The disrespect is palpable. 

How is her brother infinitely more likable? They were raised together, right?

It's Georgia so I get the biscuit over muffin, but lemme tell you, the sausage McMuffin with cheese is actually a damn good sandwich. I prefer my bacon on a biscuit... Miss me with that too sweet McGriddle, though. It's way too fattening when you also want a hashbrown and juice.

Yes. Just put pancakes on it like Bisquick.

I think that's definitely the case with the newer ghost written books. But the OG Andrews reads and their sequels really worked for me.

Ha! I know you guys have just been catching up on episodes of My Favorite Murder, it's fine. But, this is definitely a classic favorite and I am going to read it again every 5 years or so!

Back in 2001, driven away by the insanity and anti-Muslim sentiment that covered the South after 9/11, I moved from the bougie suburbs of Stone Mountain, Georgia to the hippie infused wilds of Northern California. It was a college town area filled with a strange mix of weirdos and (mostly) conservative townies all…

It's an alternate dimension, not space, but fuck... Yeah.

Bd apples who routinely are not punished in the same manner a civilian who commits to the same offense is. Having your community members stopped, questioned and harassed for arbitrary reasons rather than concrete reasons. Knowing that you have to remain calm and unflinching in the face of an aggressively antagonist…

And white people are more likely to be killed by other white people. That's how violence in communities often works. In what way is your point relevant to the conversation we're having here about systemic racism and police brutality?

I was not feeling it upon first listen, but then I tried again when I had to clean the house and holy shit guys, this is just a deep house album! I'm in my third trimester and feeling way too pregnant but I started really dancing my fat ass off around the house. I think it's for some of the older folks who just want…

Yes, but it also lacks the rhetorical impact of just the three words.

I had to have a series of chats with my white husband before I would even contemplate getting pregnant to discuss his own view that he was raised to be colorblind. I told him straight up that it while it was noble to aim for valuing people based on character rather than physical characteristics, it was flawed. His…

You must be white. Any time black people arm themselves en masse for protection of their own homes and communities, it ends badly. Like, Waco style. See Black Wall Street, see the Philly fire bombing in 1985. You want to see massive loss of life and homes razed to the ground? Cuz that's what will happen.

I have to disagree about the bagel vs. a biscuit, english muffin or croissant. I’m southern and I have never in my life had a bagel breakfast sandwich that didn’t disassemble itself after the first slippery bite. A biscuit is best, but I’ll make do with any other bread but a bagel.
