They are rightly getting the public outcry and outrage they deserve. I’ve been following this on Twitter and wrote to both the school and the Covington Diocese. These kids didn’t just spontaneously become racists though. All those hats and t-shirts were likely purchased by their parents. I’d love to know how they’re…

I became a lot more comfortable wearing skirts only once I got to college and embraced the idea that skirts and dresses can be worn with sneakers. This was a major revelation. Full skirt, plain t, sneakers and I was suddenly way more dressed up.  Also learning to embrace layering shirts and a couple of casual-dressy…

Dogs are nice, but you can go to any park and find dogs to pet. Visiting the costume department of the Royal Opera House though, that would be a dream come true!!! They would have to carry me out kicking and screaming at the end of the day, because I would never want to leave.

Not a lot of bonuses to being laid off, but one of them is that I was able to click on that slideshow and then laugh myself sick for about ten minutes straight. The woman in bed grabbing the dude’s schvantz! The look on her face reminds me of an ex who used to wake me up by bumping his boner into my leg and I’d just…

I remember having to read this in grad school.  Nothing makes an erotic novel less erotic than parsing the hell out of every sentence for the sake of literary criticism.

All of the “Gee willikers...Looky at the purty snow. Makes me all humble,” doesn’t even BEGIN to make up for his racist bullshit.

Well folks, I had a baby this week. 10 days before her due date, actually. Labor was extremely fast (less than 1.5 hours from start to finish) and we BARELY made it to the hospital (I seriously almost had her in the car), partly because we had to wait 20 min for my mother in law to show up from SIX BLOCKS away to…

It’s perfectly fine if people want to lose weight and want/need help in pursuing that. It’s perfectly fine if people want to gain weight and want/need help in pursuing that. It’s all just...ok.

evoo + garlic + pasta + good (oil packed) canned tuna + salt/pepper + whatever green spice you have lying around + splash of lemon

1. Throw away canned crab.

Any comedian will tell you, nobody works harder than comedy club waitresses.

Because I am getting on in years I can never keep Brie Larson’s and Alison Brie’s names straight. My first thought was, “Trudi from ‘Mad Men’ is going to be Captain Marvel? I guess I can see it...”

My favourite desert is the Sahara. 

Are we all really taking the stance that unsolicited kissing/fondling of the breasts without prior consent would be okay if she was a confirmed adult? Because I’m over 40, and will punch you in the fucking face—if not lower.

I don’t really do resolutions, I do Lent, because A) it’s got a time frame and B) the idea is to focus on how what you’re giving up is being used by you to avoid things/a closer relationship with God.

Stop telling people so much about my life! I made this “resolution” back in 2006, and broke it three minutes later. I tell everyone everything about myself. Want to talk about my bipolar dad? Great! Sit down, you’ll be here for a while. They’re not even interesting stories really, I just have to tell everyone…

I drank A LOT of vodka in a dorm and then I threw up. That counts as sloppy!

YAY I WAS PUBLISHED ON JEZEBEL! All that throwing up and vodka was worth it for this moment! (It was not.)

pschroeter, I’m not a fan of Conway either, but the WWII head-shaving phenomenon was pretty effing creepy becuase it had little to do with punishing actual collaborators and a lot to do with humiliating women and scapegoating: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/jun/05/women-victims-d-day-landings-second-worl…

One of these boxes is just down the hill from my house, we drop stuff off a couple times a week when we’re walking the dogs.
