Accurate. I think I convinced myself in high school that In Utero was better than Nevermind because it felt too basic to think Nevermind was Nirvana’s best album. But...it is. From start to finish. And it’s not just because Nevermind is more accessible, it’s because...it’s not as good as it thinks it is??? In Utero…

...its slow and steady comforts are a sweet salve.

You’re missing out.

I’m sold, I’ve liked her style since the self titled, and she’s great live too. 

She’s the best. FITE ME.

“She looks like your Aunt Clara in 1985.”

“She looks like your Aunt Clara in 1985.”

Nice reading comprehension there bud. He LIED about his age to her, among many other details.

My husband works for a record label, and on no planet did Nicki Minaj NOT completely disregard Tracy Chapman and just do whatever the hell she wants. There are a good number of steps between “I sure would like to sample that song” and “here is my completed, fully produced song that ten hundred thousand folks worked on…

Obama lost more offices for the Democratic Party since prior to WWII. Who’s fault is it that he’s that bad at politics he couldn’t maintain the coalition that voted him into power? The voters, or Obama?

Demonize Republican politicians, because they are demons.

I guess doing what you want, despite lack of consent, is a family trait.

SOOOO groundbreaking of you all to side with the obvious victim of theft.

With my second pregnancy, my OB had moved to an office near the University of MN campus, which is also the home to Minneapolis’ large Somali population.

This is what pisses me off about the psudoscience peddlers. Someone who has experienced a horrible tragedy--the loss of an 18 month old--naturally is looking for something concrete to blame. Then these hucksters peddle their BS story to a vulnerable person who then latches onto it.

I didn’t know measles is one of the most contagious diseases out there.

All I can think of when I see stuff like this is that I’m so glad smallpox was eradicated before all this anti-vax nonsense started. Measles sounds awful and all, but dear god, the symptoms of smallpox just sound like hell on earth.

As a mom of a kid on the autism spectrum it just makes me sick to my stomach. I mean, it’s not easy having a kid on the spectrum. But I’m glad he’s here. And honestly it would be a lot easier if other people weren’t such assholes about inviting him and including him (and including me as well). People are terrible. 

I’ve been doing some family genealogy for the past few years. Two of my great-great grandparents were deaf (married to each other), and while my great-great grandfather was born deaf, my great-great grandmother lost her hearing when she was two. From measles. Given the climate right now, it infuriated me to see that…
