I just read this book, Columbine by Dave Cullen, earlier this year and highly recommend it. Not a fun read but very enlightening, especially about the role of the media in establishing a narrative.

I am so sorry you are carrying that burden. People say the rudest shit, like when my alcoholic dad finally died, a “friend” had the audacity to say to me at the memorial service that I should have told him I loved him more often. WTF?

No, no, he only means the sanctity of white life.

Uncle Arthur!

The UK office of a company I once worked for was in Slough next to the railway station. The fact they set The Office in Slough could not have been more perfect.

Girl of the Limberlost was one of my grandmother’s favorite books, and I didn’t realize until recently how closely the plot matched her own life as the daughter of a hardworking mom and estranged father who married my grandfather, a dashing and well-off captain in the Army eight years her senior.

“Protective ice coating” is one of my family’s favorite jokes.

William Steig is awesome. Sylvester and the Magic Pebble is still one of my all-time favorite kid books.

I developed plantar fasciitis last year and it’s a fucking curse, but I finally caved and bought some oiled leather Birkenstock clogs and the Gizeh EVA sandals and I am in LOVE with them. I plan my outfits around the damn shoes because I never want to wear anything else. Even my expensive Asics and Saucony running…

We jet to New York City, to the layer of Benedict Cucumbersandwich.

Yes, that stuff (or Bon Ami) rocks!

Better yet, get one with a handheld head so you can actually clean the chipped, stained tub more efficiently.

I would totally sign up for that, and not just because of your avatar.

According to the NYT story, he invited a bunch of women to go on the sub but she was the only one who took him up on it, since she’d been trying to interview him for months. Basically, he was in the mood to kill a woman and she was there. Nothing personal.

Thank you. I had the same thought.

I just emptied my bank account to pay taxes a few days ago, so I’m considering all kinds of creative ways to bring in some cash at the moment. I’m far too old and fat to be a sugar baby, however.

I eat mostly plant based and yeah, the gas is a thing.
