I had a middle of the night emergency once where I was slow to respond and totally confused. It was on the 2nd night of Harvey, I woke up to a car panic horn going off. In the time it took for me to wake up (probably slower than my neighbors because my room is at the back of the house), figure out what I was hearing…

I’m glad she is in a safe place, I heard about this driving to work Wednesday. I don’t know if someone opened their door to her, or passed her a phone, I hope so. I hate to think of someone desperate and not getting help. At the same time, I would be scared out of my mind if someone was ringing my doorbell at 3 am. No…

This is the right way to respond to these jerks. DC does large events better than any other city I’ve seen, the police generally know what they are doing when it comes to crowd control. I really like the idea that when hatey von douchenstein comes to town, everybody just closes shop and has a cookout with family and…

This is where John Bolton is dangerous. He had wanted to go to war with Iran for years. His steadfastness on this point is odd to me, it is always his solution, regardless of the political situation in Iran or the region. We could really wind up at war with Iran.

God I hated bunheads, also Gilmore girls. I can’t believe I watched as many episodes as I did, it just felt inevitable and expected that a woman of my age/interests should love that show. Was all the drinking a joke? How were the not puking all over that gorgeous house?! 

But still an awesome fight.

It seemed pretty exploitive at the time too-but at the time I had all kinds of goodwill for Sheldon the feminist and viewed it as homage/critique of seventies blaxploitation films of the seventies.

I think she is arguing that the default approach to sports journalism is one of respect, there is a reason deadspin is considered a contrarian take on sports media. Celebrity journalism is almost universally dismissed as not journalism, silly, and unimportant.

That is a great show idea! Allison Janey is such an amazing actor, and of all the characters on west wing CJ and Danny have worn through time the best. They were the least likely to be overwhelmed by Sorkinesque dialogue, and after the first season they stopped having CJ be the dope who needs basic civics explained (a…

Last year I volunteered at the Red Cross shelter in the reliant center for people displaced by hurricane harvey. These pictures remind a little of that place. The shelter was safe, well run, and very temporary. Most people were their less than 48 hours before being picked up by loved ones. And it was terrible. People…

This article fails to mention who she is running against: 2-term incumbent Tammy Baldwin. Baldwin is one of the most progressive members of the senate, the first woman to represent Wisconsin and the first openly gay senator. The first time I voted for Baldwin was as my congressional representative in 1998. I’m so…

MY boss says he is playing devils advocate all the fucking time. It is such bullshit, just a way to trial balloon something but be able to back off immediately if your wrong/it dumb.

When that is your behavior bar, you know you are in a bad position. And it would not look like a far off bar to Syrian refugees or citizens living in Puerto Rico.

I’m not as experienced as Walters, but I know when I get gendered bullshit now I go in two directions, either I’m totally fine, because fuck them, or I am just devastated that I still have to deal with this horseshit. If it hasn’t happened in a while I think I am more likely to be bothered. It is just such a shock and…

Vulgar language (especially sexualized language) is always a litttle dicey when it comes to women in politics, but fuck it. I’m so tired of Ivanka Trump switching between first daughter and White House advisor as it suits the moment. Want to be treated politely? Host teas and read to kids in refugee camps. Want to…

I love that Ivanka and Jared were not invited to the royal wedding. It is just so perfect because you know they were dying to go.

I also like that they’re old for a romantic comedy. As a single woman in her forties, there is something truly mortifying about going to a wedding alone, especially one for an ex. I’m awkward as fuck, and these look like my people. They are aging much better than me though.

The big destination weddings I’ve attended were ones where the bride and groom both lived long distances from their families, and their families lived far apart too. They figure everyone will be traveling anyway, which is silly, of course. You could still have it close to your family and save half of folks the…

That is all I’ve ever heard of her doing.

I don’t really want them to continue the work against Trump. Double jeopardy is really important. Trump is clearly an emergency, but taking extraordinary legal measures that reduce civil liberty protections for all of us doesn’t seem like the right path to me.
