Wow. What an incredible trailer. Got me in the feels. I watch something like this and think of my own prepubescent long-haired girl and her wildness and freedom. And how grateful I am for both, although her wildness (which looks like my wildness did a bit less than 40 years ago) scares me.

Except the sale was fraudulent. I was sold an agile, zippy car that was supposedly clean burning. In all likelihood, it’ll be replaced with an agile, pokey car that will replace the zippy, incredibly dirty car I was actually sold. The car just went from a vehicle with excellent resale value to one with shit resale…

His lack of chin and abhorrent politics kill any feelings I might have about a fierce, tattooed body.

I’ve, oddly, come to be fond of the term when it comes out of my lapsed-Episcopalian husband’s mouth. As in, “Come give me a hug, my little Jewess.” He uses it laughingly and with love, in full awareness of the crazy that exists in the outside world vis-a-vis the religion of my birth.

So, the other day, we (me, hub, kids) were talking Republicans running for the presidential nomination, as one does. And something came up about Herman Cain. And the kids asked me who Herman Cain was. And I started explaining that he was a neurosurgeon who may be a good doctor but is a terrible politician (and…

I believe that this is the 5th or 6th time in the last two days when I’ve read some comment or action of a Republican asshole and been incapable of the ability of responding thoughtfully. All I can come up with is, “FUCKHIMFUCKHIMFUCKHIM! WHATADICK! (No, wait, I like dicks.) WHAT A FUCKING AWFUL MISOGYNISTIC…

There is a world of difference between killing an increasingly rare animal for bragging rights and bullshit machismo than there is in killing a cow or pig who’s raised humanely or killing a deer or elk that you plan to eat. Interesting to read this today, as I was talking to my beloved last night about taking a hunter…

Zackly!! This is why I make my own edibles. Have a coffee grinder reserved for the purpose. Grind desired amount of weed and a small amount of sugar. Saute it in butter. Cool the butter. Make brownies as usual. Test a 1”x 1” brownie for effect. It is not the marijuana that’s poisonous; it’s being 19 and stupid as…

Bingo! Nail on the head. Minaj’s tweet wasn’t a jab at her, but at the industry and at the fact that so many people (read: white) won’t even think about the fact that Bad Blood is no better than so much of what’s out there now and worse than much of it, because Tay’s working the schtick that she’s the virginal, cute…

Yes, polio is dreadful. And good gawd, people, vaccinate your children and yourself! I have a reasonably robust immune system, but I also have a few friends with weakened immune systems, one of whom, despite years of chronic illness, needs to continue to work. And likes to interact with his fellow humans. And those…

It’s just so fucking refreshing to see an older woman/younger man pairing that’s not waving its stepmom-complex arms at us. Instead, the emphasis on sparks between worldly traveler returned from afar and adorable/hot local. This and all of the strong female protagonist-centered movies this summer gives me a little…

Wait, so you mean that Thomas is a self-hating bigot? Yes, yes you do. He is a silly, silly (evil) man. History will not smile upon him.

Oz, the great and powerful!

And this comes from you? I laugh. I could take lessons in douchey from you, dear C.A. I could not possibly hope to achieve your levels of douchiness.

Oh, and by the way, what does a woman have to do to get out of the stinking greys?

C.A., seems to me that you’re the one who should calm the fuck down. The guy has a point or he doesn’t (I happen to agree with him), but he doesn’t froth and snarl nearly as much as you do. Nor does he waste as many words saying what he thinks.

That’s one dumb ass headline.

Wow. People are on red alert today. All the ire directed at Clover Hope for an innocuous and, dare I say, boring little clip. And then more ire directed at AJ Archer-Kane for her understandable willingness to poke fun at short folks. She’s acting with humor, and it doesn’t sound as if that humor is mean-spirited.

With all of the nasty, mean, hateful, fatal shit going on in this country right now, this makes me feel so hopeful, so encouraged. And that is one beautiful picture.

For sure it’s problematic. I’ll be the first to agree with that. We’re all fucked up in our own ways. Seems to me that it’s a matter of degrees. My point was that we can all say how fucked up they are and how we’d never do anything like that ever. And maybe we wouldn’t, but maybe we are closer than we care to admit.…
