“campaign sister”

UPDATE: Every. Single. School. I ever went to from preschool to high school, 4 different places, are named as having had a predator priests at them too.

My uncle, who was also my godfather, was abused repeatedly by a priest in middle school and high school in Pittsburgh. He killed himself in 2009, leaving behind a wife and 5 kids. I’m livid and heartbroken about this. I’ve been on the verge of tears since I read the NY times report. There is no punishment that could…

It’s shocking locally at least.

Glosser said their family is “huge” and he wouldn’t speak for all of them, but man, when dozens of your relatives think you are a disgrace... You might have fucked up.

Can you imagine sitting at the thanksgiving table with this despicable Great-Gazoo looking motherfucker?

It was definitely more creepy, I think because she both moved and seemed to see Camille and Amma. Before she’s always just been kind of there, like a painting or photo.

I was a deeply shy, sheltered kid who grew up in Nebraska, so maybe I’m still just a big naif, but where the hell are ninth graders in the bootheel getting ecstasy? My town was about five times the size of Wind Gap, and Party Kids I knew still didn’t have anything edgier to do than drink and smoke in the corn fields.

I’m from a suburb outside of Chicago, so my experiences are limited, but I have never understood how in movies and TV, teenagers have ragers so loud and lawn-cluttering without the neighbors *immediately* calling the police.

All tonight reinforced for me is how glad and far away high school is in my rearview mirror.

I feel it makes me a bad internetter, but I gave away mine. I’m not a great cook, so I definitely needed recipes to start me out. But I live alone and every recipe I found was by a Mormon mom explaining how to feed 19 kids. I quickly discovered you can’t just size down a pressure cooker recipe (ask me about my…

I do not remember what “bored” feels like. I think only rich people can afford to be bored. I would kill to hole up somewhere beautiful and secluded with a good book and a comfy throw. I bet you can see stars there.

Yes. But also...think of all the time to read!! *swoons*

She’s still complicit.

I guess that makes sense. One thing that we don’t consciously think about is how much of our lives are affected by state and local lawmakers and how little attention these officials and their elections actually get.

This is me. I didn’t see Hereditary, but I’m a weenie/horror film masochist and if I don’t have PHSD, it ain’t shit. The Ring is the current record-holder and I don’t understand why anyone would be scared by either The Exorcist or The Shining, for instance.

It totally freaked me out. I thought it was great.

Hereditary. Because it started out as a tense, spooky psychological thriller and rapidly devolved into (spoilers) another dumb bloody Satan-worshiper trope. The tongue-click from the empty back seat was 10x scarier than anything that came after it.  

That short was so disturbing! I’m normally really into the Pixar shorts, but I though that one missed the mark in a big way.

I thought the appropriate way was to have the dumpling grow up, resent you, and start dating a white girl, then you eat the entire dumpling in one bite.
