See, the Republicans aren’t doing all of this because they actually think that the election was rigged and Trump really won. They aren’t doing it because they think they’ll be able to somehow overturn the election and install Trump. They’re doing it because the next time they lie, steal, and cheat their way into the…

I’ve got chocolate banana bread in the oven as we speak, and it is sooooo good. https://bakeplaysmile.com/double-chocolate-banana-fudge-loaf/

What have you been making lately? I got the Poilâne bakery book for Christmas, so I made bread, who would have ever guessed?

Good afternoon/evening, everyone!

So flashback to NYE 2006, about to be 2007. I was a senior in high school, seventeen, and my friends and I had a habit of going on night-time “escapades”, as they had been dubbed. (I think by me, but maybe not.) It was the height of the emo/scene kids, and there I was, a little Goth fairy-princess. Since none of our…

Most of our NYEs are total duds. We don’t drink, and we’re both introverts, so we stay home and go to bed early. However. A couple of years ago we were in France for the holiday. We’d arrived in Paris and checked into our hotel. Mr E wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees and celebrate. I didn’t -…

Nothing super magical, but I always call my mom on NYE, even when I’m drunk. Last night I called her around 8:30, because now she’s almost 80 and I know I shouldn’t call her too late. We laughed about how many times I’ve called her completely hammered at midnight. I’m a total lightweight, so it doesn’t take much.

It was 1978 and I was professionally employed in the theatre, in my mid 20s, and living in the greatest city in the world, with the bf that I knew was THE ONE. (Reader, 42 years later he still is). At 11:30pm beer and weed were not sufficiently celebratory so we jumped on the subway in time to arrive in Central Park…

Hell yeah, that’s something indeed. I’m glad you had that, and wish you more clear thinking (and also joy).

I scored a very very lucky housesitting gig over the 99/00 holidays in London. It was spectacular. Unfortunately, I tripped on Christmas Eve and knocked my two front teeth out (even I found the “All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth” thing funny). On New Year’s Eve a guy I met on the flight over set me up…

The only time this dumb ass panel has even been justified:

The horrible thing is that it’s not even just the lay public. I have had nurses and other hospital workers straight up lie to all the screening questions and when I go in to see them, tell me the real story. When I inevitably say, “You know this sounds like COVID, right?” I get an interesting range of responses…

I just got home from my last hospital shift of the year.

What’s really wild to contemplate is that once herd immunity is achieved and things go back to “normal”, there will be a new wave of mental health issues with which to grapple.

Brandy, you’re going to continue writing here, yeah? Whether I wind up agreeing or not with your answers, it usually interesting and entertaining. So hope you stick around in ‘21.

In JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative, when Cyborg had merged with an alien satellite and tired to eat the moon, The Titans were willing to fight the JLA so they could save him.

Are we really going to sit through 4-8 years of Republicans suddenly concerned about fiscal responsibility? My motherfucking taxes went up to pay for that $1.5 trillion monstrosity in 2017 that gave breaks to the wealthiest 400 or so families in the country. And now Republicans give a shit? Fuck you forever.

The full quote was “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”

Remember the quote: "he was supposed to hurt the other people."
