A friend of my family was shot to death in her car in my parent’s neighborhood. She was in her driveway, her husband and kids were in the house. The police found the shooter, and the weapon. It was a sixteen year old kid. He was trying to steal her car. With a group of other kids.

What happens?  Not a fucking thing.  Twitter did nothing and Trump doubled down.  Fuck them both.

Six hams, six cheeses, six live chickens, and roughly $12 sounds like great plans for Memorial Day weekend 

The tuna reminds me of when I lived with my bestie in college. We’re still friends to this day, thankfully, but oh boy was it touch and go for a minute. She is the first to admit that she’s pathologically frugal and simultaneously convinced of her own greatness, which resulted in her boldly assembling new dishes out…

(What a whiney baby!)

Does this dude cry tears when he has to wear a shirt and shoes to go to Applebee’s? Does he show up at a closed Macy’s at three in the morning, with his pet goat, and angrily tweet that “the libs/lefties” are taking away his “freedoms” by not allowing him and his furry friend to shop when and how he wants? Is online…

This guy was a single-termer in the NC STATE House, appointed, yet, then lost the seat two years ago - and still uses the honorific “Rep” on his twitter account!

Especially if it’s true.

She had lice and didn’t tell us until... well, you know how that all shook out. Refused to bathe during the winter months. Claimed a friendship with Meatloaf, and hung in our dorm window her dead, taxidermied pet parrot in its cage.

When I first moved to the US, before there was such a thing as AirBnB or video chat, I struggled to find anyone who was willing to take a chance on a roommate who wasn’t in the country yet. Eventually found a 30-year-old guy with a furnished room who described himself as tidy but chill and shared a lot of my hobbies.…

I was always sort of on the fence about kids, but the nail in that particular coffin came when I finally landed my desired job after a decade of schooling/intern/paid in sunsets work to get there. And I realized that if I had a kid and ever see it, or be there in a way I would want to parent, I would have to leave my…

Add in the impossible notion of saving for your own retirement and multiple kids going to college? Three minutes of back of the envelope math says that this is a sucker’s game.

I have definitely met men who wanted to be wild in their 20s and 30s and then started looking for younger women who wanted children when they got into their 40s and 50s. It’s weird and creepy but women’s limited window to birth children has a generational effect.

I’m so, so sorry. I remember this story from before. Healing takes a long time—I can’t imagine how much worse it is during this pandemic and with a horrible mother. I hope you/your husband are at least able to get those computers. Any small victory could be nice considering how terribly unfair his mother is being.…

I saw about a hundred people when I was hiking on Wednesday, and I was only one of two people wearing a mask. And I was in a park in a county that used to have the most deaths in the state, despite not having as many cases as more populous areas.

Theater Update! The auditions (via Zoom, which made me feel like Alice during the Brady Bunch opening) went well, with very few glitches, and I got cast! We’re doing Twelfth Night, and I am Fabian - friend of Sir Tobias Belch, co-conspirator, and ultimately peacemaker. Also the second part I’ve been cast for that’s…

I’m finishing two months in rehab for cocaine come monday! My whole perspective has changed so much on substance abuse while I’ve been here and I’m fortunate that I ended up in a treatment centre that is very progressive. For me the whole 12 steps, or disease model was very difficult to use as a solid glue in putting…

WHAT’S THE WORD? Our local bar (not the only one, but the only one we go to) is reopening with very limited capacity and roped-off socially-distanced seating on their huge outdoor space, so we’re gonna swing by and have a drink if people are actually following the guidelines ... and if they aren’t, we’ll pick up a…

It’s infuriating the entitlement. Even the neighbor that’s been the most vigilant just had to go buy stuff for their garden and back patio.  I get people are bored but damn...

Red Zone Cuba. The Coleman Francis movies are all just awful.
