Seriously.

Pictures are all over twitter.

Perfectly stated. I’m an artist and white and was trying to imagine painting something similar; unfortunately, we’ve got a bevvy to choose from recently. I don’t know that I could. Not in this representative manner anyway. I could see making it more of a political statement but I also wouldn’t try to submit to the…

THIS. I can’t get pregnant. I don’t get cramps. I don’t ruin underwear with miscounted days. Menopause ain’t so bad. The hot flashes are shit, but I keep folding fans in all my purses and ice packs for when they’re really really bad. Sometimes I miss hot beverages, but when I am two drinks into one and becoming…

Back in the 90s, I worked in fundraising at a PBS station (sorry about all those telethons y’all). Patti Lupone came in as a guest to help us beg for money one night. I honestly didn’t know much about her because I was still an uncultured 21-22 year old asshole; I was put in charge of essentially taking care of her…

Aww, touched a nerve, kitten?

While waiting for an act on an adjacent stage, I had to endure a LDR set. She is boring as fuck. And her fans? Her fans are stalker-scary.

It was on my bucket list to buy ol’ Irvine a pint. He did a book signing in Austin and I got the chance to do it. I even got him to sign the bucket list page! He thought I was a little silly, but was happy to have the beer and we clinked glasses. Just typing that is making me fangirl all over again.

Ahhh, 1996. That was the year before i finished uni. I realised today that I graduated 20 years ago this May. It was a bit of a slap in the face until I realised that it also means my job-conversion (contract to full time) will include 5 weeks vacation because of it. :-)

That’s what I was thinking too; don’t discard it, but donate it to a museum. It won’t mean half-mil in the bank, but it would certainly be a good tax deduction I suspect. It could thereby be preserved and used to teach future generations.

My parents were similar, though perhaps not to the same degree of intensity. Very staunch in the NO category, anyway.

Only slightly related: Old Bay Seasoning is friggin excellent on popcorn.

WINNER!

I may or may not have just ordered my own because I never thought to check that it existed before now.
(I totally did. Look at what you’ve done! ...thank you!)

This wee exchange has been the highlight of my day! You are my Tuesday Hero.

Well, originally he decided he was cleaning up and moving on, going straight and choosing life. He was looking forward to it already. He was gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol,…

Always BYO snacks, dude. ALWAYS.

Excellent point. And also, not just a little bit scary.

I keep waiting for the call. I’ve got my pitchfork and torch at the ready. I’m ready to storm the motherfucking castle.

It boggles my mind that these are the same people who insisted that the ACA was going to bring about Death Panels, while they’re basically taking up the role of the Grim fucking Reaper.
