In today’s Washington Post there was a story that included a judge by the name of Richard Kopf. In German, “kopf” means “head.” I seriously want to question this man’s parents.

Don’t forget Joanie Holloway, my fantasy gay wife.

Oh man, that post from Winkler.

I read about this, last night, and it really affected me. I understand that George Michael died at an even younger age but he was such a superstar that he seemed almost eternal. Erin Moran is sort of frozen in time for me as a sweet, round-faced kid (not far from my own age), and her passing startled me. What a sweet…

This is actually a really good, powerful ad

All *American* airlines. I just flew back from Asia this week on ANA. It was noticeable and almost disconcerting how much more pleasant the interactions with the flight staff were. The default attitude of staff on US carriers seems to be that of cranky substitute teachers who are just waiting for a student to try…

Friendly reminder to fly Virgin America, Alaska, or JetBlue

Just wanted to say that I found your “wasabi” autocorrect delightful.

I bet Chris Pratt’s PR company have a red emergency Bat-phone that goes off what he’s going too Jesus-y, and a crack team swoops down to the Marvel message boards to create distractions.

Not enough of a fuss has been made about Ivanka going to Berlin for the W20 summit. She has no qualifications to work in policy, international law or norms, diplomacy, or women’s rights. She has no reason to be the representative for our country, other than being the daughter of the president. She is not a fucking…

Totally off topic, but something about her reminds me of Ellen Page.

I teach high school, and we talk about this from time to time when cases like this happen. The thing is, it’s not like some adult relationships where “one thing just led to another,” “all those late nights at the office” “out of town business trip” “got drunk together one night” No, as a teacher, you have to make…

A few years ago I read an article written by a grown woman, who had a relationship with her teacher when she was 15-16. She made it very clear that her teacher didn’t force himself on her or threaten her. He was the opposite. Sweet, nice, gentle, interested in her life. She chose, as a 15 year old, to meet up with him…

There is a power differential and grooming was a major factor

I was on my condo board and we decided to shake things up and meet at a local restaurant (low key, but has a bar). A board member arrived early, and rather than go in and wait, rolled down her car window to enjoy the early summer evening air and called her sister to chat. After a few minutes she hears a female Boston…

I saw a little bit of it at the laundromat while folding a fitted sheet. The show was even less interesting than the task at hand.

This is going to make me sound super trashy but idc, it was college....I ended up having a super hot cab driver and we decided to bang so he pulled over into the local high school parking lot, it was really late so I thought we’d be fine but I guess someone thought something was off so the cops came to check it out. …

And I bet a lot of people could have gotten a lot out of her story if she just chose to be honest about it from the beginning. Identifying with another culture is fine. It makes perfect sense she felt more accepted by the black community. So just be that, be a white person who feels accepted by the black community,…
