I love Spike, and I’ve always been a bit bothered by the insistence that Spike is problematic since all his problematic behavior was done before he had a soul, something he actively sought out and fought for so that he would never repeat that behavior again. Angel, meanwhile, gets a free pass on every sadistically…

I’ve been in a shit mood for days (New stupid birth control? Anxiety?) and this just after my husband came home from a 2 week trip, which means I feel extra guilty for being suuuuper irritated at how he slurps oatmeal because he can’t wait until it cools off 5 degrees before he eats it. So honestly, right now it’s…

20 years? Dear god, I’m old.

There is a podcast called The Dream that goes into the history of MLM, the lives they ruin and how certain politicians ( they are usually Republicans because of course) back them.

That’s how they do it these days... online. In livesteams and Facebook groups/events.

I stan the BA YouTube channel, but I agree about the magazine.

Both of these ingredients have their uses. I am never going to make aioli with garlic powder, but for a spice rub I am on board.

That stood out to me as well, as a testament of the LGBTQ-related (charity) work Taylor Swift must have been doing behind the scenes already: the amount of icons who agreed to appear in this video. That speaks to more than just lip service; she must have been networking for years.

Does Jezebel now regret its absurd interpretation of what turned out to be a delightful and pro-gay-as-hell diddy or are we all going to pretend that didn't happen

Yeah, I think the video was really sweet. It’s easy for adults to get cynical about these things, but when I think about who the target audience for this song really is—there’s a kid out there in a small town for whom drag queens are still an outre thing or who has no clue what Stonewall or GLAAD are, and they’re…

She was doing a doing a dance recital tho, which is a kid being a kid; her folks weren’t “trotting her out” and promoting this. Unfortunately, some asshole videoed her doing it, some other assholes published it to their trash website, and a third group of assholes reported on it. If there were any more people in the…

Kind of weird to repost some TMZ cell phone content about a person’s child as news.

The staircase giveth and the staircase taketh away

Not on a major overhaul, but I guess you could count the summer I turned 16. Growing up I was always the cliche “tomboy,” I wore baggy jeans (boy did I ever rock a pair of JNCO’s), hoodies, t-shirts, and a truly awful assortment of dumb hats. I was never into “girly” things like flowers, skirts, pop music, or romcoms.…

I completely, and successfully, changed my personality for camp one summer. I am a shy and neurotic bitch, constantly fearful of rejection by my peers, who would genuinely prefer people not remember me than remember me for the wrong reasons. My picture does not appear at all in my high school year books, and I am so…

My summer reinvention was a reluctant and failed one.

I’m sick. Like have to go to urgent care often sick and on constant emails with pulmonologist-sick. If I get through this summer alive and through this weakness, and recovered, I will consider myself reinvented. 

As someone trying to plan a “budget” wedding (that will still cost 3x our original budget), I imagine it would be very easy and you could be very lazy if money is not an issue and you can just hire people to deal with all the nitty gritty. She’s probably not having to research portapotty rentals and debating with her…

I lost my shit when my sister called me a bridezilla.

1. Salmon jacket is our summer song of 2019. The song we deserve.
