He was a regular at one of my old jobs for nearly 3 years (and I assume still is). He’s a voracious and enthusiastic reader (this was a bookstore gig, which is my main career path), and was an absolute delight every time I got to see him. He’d bounce up to the counter and want to know all about what I was currently

So was I! (I’m sure in part because Adore is still my favorite Pumpkins album, but between that, the gorgeous presentation and staging, and yes, what the song is about... yeah.)

I hate this shit.

I love this.

How beautiful was all the imagery for that tour, too? I was blown away.

I’m not gonna start hating music I cherish just because I’m not sixteen anymore. Anger is still a valid emotion, and not restricted to teenagers.

YES. Thank you. I wrote a blog post about this (elsewhere) last year, I think; about how Fiona and Alanis in particular made it revoluntionarily mainstream to be an angry girl/woman, and not be remotely apologetic about it. (That both Alanis and Fiona were only 19 when they broke so hard into the music scene is

If you want an experience with just about every form of travel being done incredibly efficiently, cleanly, and with great ease, try Switzerland while you’re at it! (I mean, if you make it to Germany, you’re certainly in the neighborhood.) Trains, subways, ferries, buses, all of it... I was just blown away by it. (I

Uuuuuuuugh, of course he does.

God, Neil Strauss is fucking awful. Always has been. I mean, he wrote The Game. Fuck that guy to hell and back.

Ugh, Gwyneth Paltrow and literally anything to do with GOOP remains the most tiresome bullshit imaginable.

It’s definitely normal, even though it sucks completely when you’re mired in it. And again, you never know what opportunities might turn up, and even if they aren’t necessarily the ideal you were looking for, they might turn out to be a good thing in their own way! (E.g. I am really enjoying the new job, even if I

Ugh, I’m sorry. I hope it somehow gets resolved!

Wait, what? I’m not around much anymore these days, but why the ban?

Unemployment is the fucking worst.

I’m so sorry for the very rough time you’re going through right now.

Yes! But I love that, even though they play her sleeping around for laughs, they never play the “she’s such a slut!” card, you know what I mean? When Bowfinger confronts her about it, she just says, “So what?” and he’s like, “I never thought of it that way.” So good. I think that’s partly why that joke still holds up.

Thank you!

Apologies for the tone, but as someone who dedicated a chunk of my life to science, I tend to have a hard time tolerating people being presented with pretty clear records of fact and still deciding to believe otherwise, just... because. Refuting recorded facts you don’t like is not quite equal to “having a different

They almost always trot out some variation of that “core values” statement, and it is always absolute bullshit.
