Baby Kender is precious, adorable lil sleep thief 😆

Thank you Maya.  <3

Yes.  There’s a certain power in making a roomful of strangers laugh.

Here’s my old man kitty, being cute!

Hi Maya, hope you’re well!

Counting down one week until the masquerade ball (can you tell I’m excited?!) I bought an outfit today, which is either going to look really good, or really not. I also bought my mask, so if I have spectacularly missed the boat I can wear that all night! I have promised (on GT) to post pictures so I’ll probably put a…

(Emily, it would be amazing if I could be ungreyed please I am very nice and this is where I do most of my internet socialising)

Thanks Maya, you've been among the people holding on to hope for change and promise for me when I couldn't hold on to it for myself. Much appreciated my dear, and big hugs to you in your grief x

An hour ago I watched helplessly as my kid fell backward off our back step and heard the conk when her head hit the concrete. She’s absolutely fine. I called the on-call nurse from her doctors’ office who told me what to look out for, but she’s been her usual self. I just am still shaking. I truly have never been so…

Yay, I can post to SNS before the second night of my play!

I made pomegranate apple sauce this week with plenty of cinnamon, and it’s so seasonal, I can’t stop laughing about It’s Decorative Gourd Season Motherfuckers. Last night I made a chicken tagine (my apologies to anyone of Moroccan descent, I know this was not at all authentic) It was really good, caramelized onions,…

Wow! I have never made it this early! I’m an overworked middle school teacher who really enjoys reading about the lives of all the fabulous people on Jezebel. I look forward to getting to read about your worlds.

So, I’ve done a week in the new job which is a bit like a tiny, part-time prison for tiny, part-time prisoners. It’s so intense and I’ve been called all the very worst swears by the children and I’ve physically restrained several of them and it’s sad and heartbreaking but guys I love it. When they’re not way up…

Any doctors in the house? My sister has a “mass” in her mitral valve and it caused a minor stroke. She is having a procedure to remove the mass on Monday and assures me that her doctors have said this is not serious. HOWEVER, she has already had a previous surgery to remove a tumour from inside her heart and I’m…

I was working as a cocktail waitress in a topless bar, and it was exactly as tedious, gross, and demoralizing as you would imagine it to be. One night, I went to close out a table of older men, and when they started talking in front of me about what to tip me. One of them turned to me and said “Honey, here’s a tip for…

Hey it’s really disappointing that you don’t offer subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing. I always looked forward to reading these submissions and the winning stories but now that they’re done in video format, you’ve excluded at least one portion of your audience. As a website that prides themselves on being…

UGH why can’t they be my best friends.

Omg, I would LOVE to see Allison do a livetweet of the episode ;-p

David is the one I can’t warm up to. To me his default facial expression is so fake and smug looking. I acknowledge that this is my weird thing. 

I’ll hear your unpopular opinion, and raise you.... I didn’t like Helena. (Eek! I actually said it aloud!) I would’ve adored the hell out of her goth-twee combo back when I was 24, but now I have no patience for it.
