Dodi Al Fayed, her brother died in the car crash with Diana - and Mohammed, their father, has vocally accused the Royals of ordering her killing ever since. Harrods lost their royal warrant over it, the Royals have nothing to do with any of them anymore

Issa went out of business in part because Camilla al Fayed - Mohammed’s daughter and Dodi’s sister - bought the label, ensuring that Middleton wouldn’t ever go near it again. (That blue dress was fabulous.)

Im still doing the glitch now. I never logged off I'm going until it stops I'm at over 250 million now.

This is from years ago. I was attending a writers’ conference 1000 miles from home and a group of us had a session with a real agent from the Big City (NYC) who listened attentively and spoke encouragingly to an aspiring writer who wanted to do a memoir about her (really interesting) growing up years in Harlem, then…

I got the shittiest, most disgusting manager fired at my shitty job *after I left it.*

I got my former boss, a genuinely terrible person and worse manager, fired for cause. She was gossiping about a person in another department who got fired. I heard about it from the person she gossiped to, told the fired person’s manager, who took it to our director. I expected nothing to come of it, as usual, but he…

I majored in film and took a wonderful class in Musicals my junior year. I grew up watching musicals from the 1930s-1960s (my mom was a big fan), so I was pretty much the only person in the class who went into it already knowing and loving everything on the syllabus. (I was also the only female in the class, which may…

I grew up in a small South Carolina town- Seneca- and was in Honors English 9th and 10th grade with the same teacher- who was just named SC teacher of the year. I was also queer and knew it but wasn’t out because I was in Seneca Sc in 1990. We were studying Whitman- and the teacher could only talk about how he was gay…

I used to be a barmaid in a remote Australian town that had a large Aboriginal population and was so, so racist. The pub had two bars in separate rooms, connected by an opening behind the bar so the bar staff could move easily between them.

I recently stood up for equal pay during a contract negotiation, in particular the fact that dividing new starts in six month periods meant half the intake will get no pay increment while half would. Come a month later my issue becomes official negotiation policy so we all get equal treatment. I will also be making a…

This is probably really obvious, but if you find a dog in fresh snow it’s REALLY easy to find their owner. I got a little dog on a full leash back to its elderly owner within minutes by just following its paw prints back the way it came for two blocks.

Few notes about PSLF:

To quote Lana Kane: Yuuuuuuuup.

Like new, only 26 verified miles on the odometer. No lowball offers, no trades. I KNOW WHAT I HAVE.

I looked up king and saw a picture with a Pit in the background and was going to be mad about how the Pit lost but that was last year apparently. I’m still mad just like retroactively. Pits are the best dogs they can be smart or dumb as a sack or bricks either way they’re flawless.

The good news is Bean doesn’t care whether he wins or loses. Bean in it for the attention, the treats, and any extra belly rubs. So in that sense, Bean won big.

I was at a predominately white college in the 90's-early aughts (prestigious, east coast). Spike Lee came and spoke. After it, a film professor who I will always love said this to our class on the Monday after it: “Why did anyone here feel comfortable addressing him as Spike? Isn’t he Mr. Lee?”

When I was in art school Chip Kidd came in to speak to us and revealed that the Jurassic Park logo was created when he did a couple thousand thumbnails, couldn’t land on something he liked, and eventually when the deadline hit he said fuck it and just photocopied a fossil out of a book and silhouetted it out because…

It was 1318, what they considered “carnal lust” and perversion are no doubt extremely mild by today’s standards, but I admit I am curious about her life afterwards, I wish there was more information.
