I’ve lost a few friends to overdoses. It sucks and its awful. Unfortunately the pattern I’ve see with Grande has replayed itself again and again in my personal life. Too often people hold the loved ones responsible for the addictions of the deceased. I’ve seen parents yell at girlfriends - girlfriends who were clean -…

And the fact is, even if he was a teetotaller until she left him and then went on the mother of all binges and died, that’s on him. Him. Him. HIM.

That’s not her fault. However he may have felt about her engagement is not her fault. She clearly tried her best with him and in the end she just couldn’t do it anymore. And as a fan of his music and pretty familiar with him, I think if he truly felt that way he would have been pretty vocal about it, I think he…

Seriously. How can they not know the greatness that is Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter Dead?

This harassment of Grande is hitting me very hard due to a personal parallel. I left a shitty relationship of 5 years due to the substance abuse issues and chronic unemployment of my partner. I worked 2 jobs to support us, he refused to get help, wouldn’t apply to jobs that were “beneath” him (or would apply, get an…

“It wasn’t her fault, that being said, I’m still going to insinuate blame." 

“What is Christina Applegate famous for?”

Oh fuck that. There is no statute of limitation on when someone can start a new relationship or get engaged after ending a prior relationship.

No doubt. One of the big teachings in Al-Anon is that you need to find out why you chose to be in a relationship with an addict in the first place, because if you don’t figure it out you’re going to do it again and again. The addict is not the only sick person in the relationship.

My ex said I abandoned him. I watched him slowly kill himself, and would wake up every morning wondering if he would be breathing when I went to check on him. Then when he did get sober, he suddenly had all kinds of issues with who I was as a person.

I LOVE Kate Bush.

Years ago, while an impressionable teenager in Annapolis, Maryland, I was shopping at the Oceans II record store on Main Street. There were a handful of people in the store, just a lazy late summer evening. The store was playing this album on their system, and a young woman, probably in her late 20s, asked the clerk…

Big Boi on how much he loves “Running Up That Hill”

Look I am NOT a Cardi fan and even I can see the classism and racism dripping from that comment.

I ended up at a bar sitting next to a black guy with chin-length locs, talking about this and that. I was curious about how long it had taken him to grow them out, and I said, “Hey, can I ask you a question about your hair?”

THats very unfair, and I’m sorry that happened to you. Blame makes us feel like we had no choice sometimes...

As much as white people are fascinated with and love to touch black people’s hair, they sure spend a lot of time and energy banning it in schools and in the workplace.
