I hated both Irene and Stephen. Both were awful people. She shouldn’t have outed him and he shouldn’t have slapped her. The defense she is using here reminds me of the defense that the guy who outed a transgender person on survivor used. Ultimately the individual is responsible for what they do and say.

I think that the uber wealthy have a history of farming out child rearing so it might be a reflection on that conceit.

Better yet: go see your local queens. Tip them. Buy their merch. Most of them are starving artists or working multiple gigs to support their art. Supporting the Drag Race girls is nice, but they have a wide audience and are all pretty well off now (for the most part). Support your local girls because they’re the ones…

Instead of spending $2.99 on a box of safety pins, donate $5 to one of these groups:

“Elvis, you wanna cookie?” “Mroowww.”

YAS! I want to be BFF’s with Georgia and Karen. My BFF and I are trying to catch them at the Chicago Podcast Fest next month!

Are you a murderino too?

Oooh, I remember this case from one of my murder podcasts. While the fight may have been instigated by her or started on ‘equal’ ground (both acting a fool/crazy/drunk rage), he should have let her go when she said she wanted to leave.

yikes now it’s cool on jezebel to make fun of non nerotypical people? ‘short bus’ jokes are so beyond lame

Saw Tyler the Creator on an episode of Punk’d

she was a malicious little gnome.

Interesting, she’s a warehouse worker. I went down a google hole looking for stories on poverty in the inland valleys of CA after another post made a good comment about it, and ended up reading this long but very good article from 2011 about temp warehouse work and how terrible it can be. If anyone wants a good/sad…

Watch out for that tree car!

I was an overnight editor at cnn.com when this story broke. It was the night/morning of my bachelor party. I got a call early in the morning (I’d been asleep for just a couple hours) and told it was all hands, big story breaking, haven’t you heard .... I was still so fucking drunk. I worked a double, got on the plane…

It seems impossible that there was a time before Oprah;...

don’t cut yourself on that edge

In before the “England =/= Great Britain and Northern Ireland” comments.

So, I’m Gwen Snyder, the woman in the article. It was a pretty awful experience and my biggest hope is to use it to make some sort of positive change at the DNC and at the Doubletree, which refused to help me. I do have a couple asks if folks want to take action:
