Would I kill baby Hitler? I mean... how many babies are dying/have died in Yemen in the last year that weren’t going to commit genocide while we have this stupid conversation, eh Ben? Nothing to say about those babies, huh? The ones who are here, right now, and whose saving don’t require a technology that your party…

Probably. I hope so. That’s a juicy role and she’s so good.

Vera has gotta be Livia, right?

Look, I get standing up for a friend. But compare this to what Marc Maron said about C.K., also longtime friends. He had asked C.K. privately about the (at the time) rumors and Louis said they weren’t true. When C.K. admitted to the behavior, Maron said on the podcast that Louis had straight up lied to him and fuck…

“If I could go back and have a talk with my younger self I’d tell her to go through the therapy I have since then, so that I could understand the confused post-traumatic state that I was in - or if therapy was not available to me or anyone in my situation - to seek help, and speak as openly and honestly as possible…

This study was pretty irresponsible. They asked patients on a survey to report symptoms, then the researchers determined whether they seemed valid or not. I think it showed some fundamental misunderstanding of how mast cell reactions occur.

With the rise in mast cell related disorders in the last few decades, I think…

Rashida Tlaib is a (1) divorced (2) Muslim (3) woman from a (4) Palestinian family of (5) immigrants who represents a (6) black majority district (which is also (7) heavily Muslim) (8) in Detroit and is a member of the (9) Socialist wing of the (10) Democratic Party.

Yeah, I know that I don’t have an “allergy” but milk, certain cheeses and cucumbers will result in hours of painful cramps, vomiting and other unpleasantness. So much easier to just say I have an allergy than a sensitivity to which people just think I am picky.

Yeesssss! A new Aimee article. You’ve been one of my favorite writers on this site, so I was sad when I stopped seeing stuff from you in early summer.  

He’ll be needing that straw now.

She was a nasty and abusive person! I used to never share stories like this because I was taught that to do so was a betrayal to my fam (“her intentions were good!”). The reality is that the best gift is what the other person wants, not what you think they should want. I realize now that shit like this really groomed…

My father gave me, a gender studies / philosophy kinda gal, a Dr. Laura Schlesenger book. About women. You know. (And if you don’t know who Dr. Laura is, continue living in your bliss.)

I had been a poor student for years, sleeping on an air mattress in a sleeping bag, when my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her I wanted a duvet to replace my sleeping bag and a real suitcase to replace a weathered duffel bag. She implied she had some extra money that year and asked if I had a…

Makes me think of the Seinfeld episode when George Costanza hears a fire alarm at a birthday party and knocks over several children and old women getting himself to safety, then tells the fire department that he was actually bravely going first to make a safe path for the others.

I taught my kids the importance of password and network security by breaking into all of their e-mail and social media accounts over dinner. Including the ones they thought they thought I didn’t know about.

The way I see it, there’s only one option.

If the host doesn’t end up being Gritty, I will be fucking pissed.
