I (politely!) demand to know what ink, pen,and nib were used to write this. Also, you have lovely penmanship.

Fountain pen! Fellow calloused-finger-haver! What’s your poison? Iroshizuku? Noodler’s? Diamine?

Hell to the naw. You can pry my Pelikan M205 (or my Lamy Safari) out of my cold, dead, permanently calloused fingers. I *love* handwriting things, and using ink. There’s something meticulous and creative and personal about it. What’s wrong with that?

Hear, hear. Every time I see another of these bottle-blonde fauxnews drones, I roll my eyes, change the channel, and hope to heaven they never get the world they’re working toward.

I gotta say, I read the same book, thought the same thing, but have stayed in my dry-ass marriage and regret it. Good for you.

Anne Calhoun is an automatic-buy for me, as well as Katie Porter. Both approach sex in a very grown, intelligent way that i appreciate. Anna Richland’s immortal series was very good (though too short). Delphine Dryden’s Science of Attraction series is nerd-flavored but fun too, and Solace K. Ames’ novels are brilliant…

but they have to be the ‘right’ kind of black people too. Can’t just go around prosecuting every red-blooded ‘american’exercising their second amendment rights!

But we already had to sit through howevermany episodes of King of Queens, Mike and Molly, Kevin Can Wait,Mom, 2 broke girls....

Okay, so can someone translate ‘Montauk’ vs “Amagansett’ for a non-northerner? I’m guessing it’s like saying “Bravo said they filmed on Daniel Island but they really filmed it in North Charleston.”

How have I never seen this video?! I didn’t even know it existed! Alice, you have made my day.

Also, Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” is the only one I acknowledge.

Oh, they won’t say “he was right,” but these same people will say how he was a lone crazy person who came out of nowhere, as if the culture of racism and the normalization of his racist beliefs doesn’t exist. A lot of those same people were like “Oh, but don’t take the FLAG down! The FLAG didn’t shoot anybody!” These…

All this makes me kinda sad Keni Styles quit The Business. Ah well.

And not paying taxes!!

Because ‘his success’ means the lives of a lot of people WILL suck — more than they already do. Especially and primarily people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ citizens, and the poor. The people who voted for him voted in spite of or because of his awfulness, it’s only right they get to see what they voted for.

then they at least need to own that they are racist. If you are willing to ‘turn down a future’ from a bigot, don’t be all in your feelings when someone calls you on it and reminds you what you’re teaching your children (bigotry is fine as long as we’re getting ours!)

nope. cut ‘em out and tell them why. It’s easy to think “oh, these folks aren’t ‘that’ bad — and yet they’re the same ones staying silent while rump supporters are calling people all kinds of racial slurs and telling kids they’ll be deported. Save yourself (especially your blood pressure) the trouble of arguring.…

I was just going to say this! On to the wishlist it goes!

Exactly. They weren’t about ‘giving President Obama a chance when they were photoshopping watermelons on the white house lawn and making nasty jokes and undermining him at every turn. THE PRESIDENT BEING ENDORSED BY THE KKK IS NOT OKAY.

Please explain to me how someone who voted for the bigot isn’t a bigot?
