Voting with our dollars is important, and also sometimes I just don't have the energy to be "that person" who asks generous, good-intentioned people to go out of their way to accommodate my dietary preferences — if they've gone to the trouble of making sure I have vegetarian food, that's good enough for me. I can…

I'm a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) for a variety of reasons and I'm forced to make compromises all the time just to function in the real world. I don't think it's hypocritical to be realistic and compromising, while still trying to make a difference in small ways. Even small changes are important. There will…

Cheap nailpolish, lipstick and panties. I'm a staunch feminist with a terminal case of resting bitchface and I sometimes like to feel like bitchy pretty pretty princess.

Jez does have a ton of problems, not least among them shaming the fuck out of people who don't want sex.

I make a point to apologize to my child when I fuck up, because neither of my parents EVER did that. Even when they were blatantly wrong. Hopefully I'm not giving her too many lessons on "how not to parent". :)

Same thing here. I am so, so glad my partner is such a great father to our daughter and adores her to pieces, but I really wish I had had that in my own life. Seeing it the way it should be really highlights how much I missed.

I hear you, but sometimes being absent is the better situation.

I had a shit father too, and a neurotic, mentally unstable, abusive mother, and a series of abusive partners. But I've had phenomenal luck with platonic friends (who supported me through it all), work colleagues (who make me feel like I've never "worked" a day in my life), dogs (see below), and, finally, the…

My best friend's dad died and at his memorial I remember feeling envious. I didn't envy her deep grief (something she still carries with her years later). But I envied the certainty she and her brother spoke of when they recalled how their father loved them.

I mean, Angie (J) has seen some shit. Let's be real.

Something in-between this

If only we had a time machine.

Anjelica Houston would have been awesome, but I feel like Angie might be ok in this role. It could have been a LOT worse. *side eyeing Kristen Stewart*

I feel like they couldn't have used Anjelica Huston, though, because she's a bit older than Angelina Jolie. I mean, unlike many early Disney movies, Maleficient is clearly not an evil old crone. I feel like she's "threatening" on many levels, with magic, power, demons, and (of course) female sexuality.

OH MAN she would have DESTROYED that role in the BEST WAY...

Sorry, but Jay-Z's face is like saltpeter to my lady boner.

Whatsamatta witchoo kids today? Haven't you ever watched Bugs Bunny? Sheesh, I'm old.

LINDY WEST TASTE TEST! LINDY WEST TASTE TEST!

*If you chant it, she will come.*

They've done covers of 'Personal Jesus', 'Tainted Love' and 'Sweet Dreams' that I've thoroughly enjoyed.
