I got through and you will too.  I hope your battery has recharged.

I did this on another thread but want to do it here— RIP Neil Peart. I loved Rush in my teens and the got me through some rough shit in the way that music only can do when you’re that young.  Neil Peart wrote songs that geeky, isolated kids could listen to and feel less alone (and the monumental musicianship didn’t…

So I just got a random comment out of the the blue the other day from a commenter (https://kinja.com/tap-dancin/discussions?startTime=1578678777479) I’ve never had any real interactions with (because they pretty much only hang around Takeout) that told me to “just stop” in a days old inactive thread, only to find this…

I’ve only ever seen pictures of the Isle of Wight, but it looks lovely, and I find looking at the ocean is always a restorative. Happy New Year Maya! 

So glad you were able to have a lovely break! Wishing you all the best in the new year.

To my thinking there’s not gonna be a great ending to this story. The Royal family represents peak whiteness and it’s potency beyond UK borders. Canada nor the USA will provide a respite for Harry & Meghan, and I see the stress from this fallout as eventually destroying their relationship. If Princess Diana, who was…

Please tell me what is complicated? Oh right according to Piers Morgan, Katie Hopkins and the rest of the British bullshit brigade you aren’t accustomed to a black woman that had options and yes a career telling you to fuck off. You tea & crumpets drinking assholes couldn’t fathom the idea that Prince Harry saw you do…

That is a completely insufferable and out of touch line. I think it is a real insight into how those born into money see themselves. See Trump’s declaration of being self-made. Both equally ridiculous and openly laughable.

I do not blame them one bit. The vitriol spewed at her is vile and toxic — and absolutely racist in many cases. Getting out of the line of fire and away from a country that loves to openly and viciously hate some of its public figures is brilliant. I love that they are taking this step to dial down their royal profile…

Shelter Cat Update!

I don’t have a past reinvention but this year I’m moving abroad and intend to become the best me ever in 2020! No more job, away from awful family who’ll never visit, I’m now getting rid of nearly all of my possessions except casual clothes, jewelery, and toiletries, and it’s going to be a brand freaking new life for…

Happy New Year Maya--may 2020 be a better year and a better decade!  And here’s hoping that the knee is feeling better.  

Happy New Year Maya!

My dearest Maya Happy New year and feel better!

Yikes! So sorry Maya. Hope you find relief and get some good sleep. Hope tomorrow to a bright and shiny new day!

I hope you feel better soon! Happy new year Maya!

And to you Maya...we've survived, now let us thrive!

“Socialite, mink coat,$40,000 diamond bracelet” and “cosmetic nurse” do not compute.

Twilight Zone marathon! I recommend Long Live Walter Jameson, it’s a good episode, they just wrote about it on Slate.

Happy new year kids, 2019 has been wild fucking ride but it's ending better than I could have expected. Here's to light and life and love in 2020...whether it comes through luck, hard work or radical, costly generosity.
