Hmm, apparently I'm inept at links.

I have only heard about it on social media. I saw a picture of the CNN and MSNBC coverage from the day it happened and the day after, and it was only mentioned once (I think on CNN). There's been next to no coverage at all on main stream media. And honestly, and depressingly, that doesn't surprise me. But for a…

Well fuck. I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of that. It's impressive that you seem so calm. I don't have any advice, just wanted to offer solidarity when it comes to horrible family situations centered around the police and race issues.

I think this is tricky because you don't want to date someone who is looking for a long term relationship (unless you and they are okay with long distance), but saying straight up on your online profile "This is short term" will lead to a lot of people who just want to get laid. I agree with another poster that you…

I very must suggest avoiding yarn made of recycled saris. I'm currently making a scarf out of said yarn, and it is HIDEOUS. The yarn color is extremely varied, which I expected and was looking forward to, but the texture varies so much from ball to ball that my scarf looks ridiculous: the first skein was incredibly…

Holy hell, I'm so sorry you're so sick!

Hobnail milk glass gives me life! When I was married my mother in law held a yard sale to raise money for a charity walk she was doing, and I gave her all of my pieces except four small vases and a divided dish. They all sold and I don't regret the donation, but I still think about the pieces years later. I don't…

I'm looking for feedback on my blog: is the way I talk about articles okay, is the OOTD format okay, what else should I talk about, etc.

1) Has Jez covered the bombing of the NAACP building? I'm nearly positive they haven't, but I want to be wrong about that.

"Much brag. Very hype. So pride."

If this doesn't win there is no justice in the world.

I'm going to start saying "plaster on black skin y'all" apropos of nothing. Thank you for that!

Just realized that my post about my dad doing surgery on my butt on the living room floor is more about his stupidity, not mine. My shining moment was when I was 14 and home alone with my infant brother. I started running through the house in socks to slide on the kitchen floor. At the end of the slide I stopped…

Well, if you did that as an adult I'd give you serious side eye, but kindergarten me would totally have been a groupie for kindergarten you.

In first grade, my ballet class was the first to perform at the dance school recital. Before the curtain opened we were all sitting on stage on our butts. I scooted a few feet, getting a splinter in my ass. A big splinter. Like more than three inches, and thick as hell. I walked to the wings to tell my teacher,…

I always wanted to do #1 but was too much of a punk. You're kind of my hero.

I'm sure Mark is now planning to write about this. And we will all blame you, while reading through our fingers.

Wow. WOW. Times like this I really can't fucking stand my country. Unfortunately, this sums of our decisions a lot of the time. The point of the fucking movie is the history of the LESBIANS AND GAYS SUPPORT THE MINERS campaign.

I had a dream a few weeks ago that I was dating Chris Evans. Since I know zero about his actual personality, dream!Chris was pretty much Steve Rogers: all moral and upstanding and respectful and with no knowledge of current pop culture. It was a short dream, sort of like a montage of us doing things I love doing…

OH MY GOD. *quickly emails everyone in contacts*
