The move was only about a block away so I felt comfortable being a little casual with my packing. One of my choices was to tape up the drawers of my night tables rather than empty them. My boyfriend at the time (now husband) handled the tape duty. When they arrived at the destination I noticed that the tape was a…

We don’t claim to own them, but it would certainly be nice if conservatives would visit once in a while. Truth, justice, and compassion haven’t seen you in many years. They miss you.

My mom watches so much MSNBC that when she refers to something “Rachel” said, I immediately know its Rachel Maddow. I think my mom thinks she and Rachel Maddow are close personal friends.

I worked 3 different jobs in Salem, MA during Halloween season, 7 days a week, 5 of them doubles. Grew up in MA but somehow was unaware of this phenomenon so when I first moved there in September I just took all the jobs offered. Needless to say I found out why everyone was hiring but didn’t believe it until I was…

Back in 1997 I was finishing up college, and nursing a few crushes around town. I accepted a date with a handsome but awkward nerd boy for a Halloween party. I was dressed as Little Red Riding hood. He forgot a costume. The date was dull. Terribly dull. Minutes after my date told me has was a virgin because “he was too…

A guy I knew from high school. Found me on fb when we were about 28/29. He wanted to get dinner. Ok, sure. After the meal had arrived, he got a phone call that sounded serious. He asked the caller, “Are you ok? Do you need me to come?” I thought, “No way. This m-effer is pulling the fake emergency call on me!” He got…

Accurate footage of me watching her whole speech. Except my hair is shorter. And I’m not famous.

Turns out doxxing a public official is highly illegal

I’m a Beto O’Rourke volunteer and spent the evening calling registered voters tonight. There are still A LOT of people who will vote for Ted simply because he’s a Republican. They don’t want to hear about “the Democrat,” or they’ll regurgitate whatever they hear on Fox News. We have a lot of work to do, and even…

Check out AskAManager.org. She has lots of great job hunting advice, including an interview manual that I can’t recommend highly enough (using it I have gotten compliments at multiple jobs about how great I am at interviews).

I’ve written 50,000 words since June 15, done my morning pages every day, and finished off writing some GOOD GOOD smut a little earlier this evening. 

I started a new job in mid May that I’m not entirely qualified for.  My boss moved up my 90 day review (which was originally scheduled for August 14) because he wanted to let me know what a difference I have made to the company, how impressed he is with how quickly I've learned, and how much easier I have made his…

Do not take a job as a secretary. Don’t do it. There is nothing wrong with being a secretary, but if you don’t want to be one, the easiest way to get pigeonholed for YEARS in secretarial work is to take a job as a secretary. It is VERY hard to break from secretarial to analytical types of work. I took a…

I basically had this exact conversation with several members of the faculty in my department within the last year. We’ve undergone basically the same reckoning that UT fumbled so badly in the article above. My department pissed the bed just as spectacularly, in part because of this old school academic mentality that…

ALL aimed against ONE performer, without pause or variation. For fifty years until they somehow managed to bribe/threaten a Black comedian into bringing up one of the oldest open secrets in Hollywood at just the right, specific time.

I heard somewhere 53% of white women tuned in!

No, it’s not just as bad.

Yes, it would have been better.

Please please please let this mean she is running for office.
