I’ve taught middle school first 11 years and let me tell you they are little weirdos. They like weird things and say weird things and do weird things. They other day a group of girls was dying of laughter in class because one said she was going to own a store called Taco Shop but they wouldn’t sell tacos. And…

What happened to the white woman though?

“I didn’t have much experience of how to organize domesticity.”

Everyone who claims to be “Pro-Life” needs to hear what Sister Joan Chittister, a Benedictine nun has to say about the movement.

Yes. I have a teenage son and a lot of them engage in nasty behavior because they’re trying to look “cool” for their friends. When they’re in a group they egg each other on and even basically decent kids can say and do cruel things.

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.
