This is straight up fucking nuts. I regularly spend whole Sundays going around to auctions with my best friend’s boyfriend. I work out with a straight male friend every day. My husband regularly goes to see bands I hate with his ex. I go out drinking with male colleagues. His closest work pal is a dead ringer for…

Textbook Erotomania, literally. The belief in coded messages, the wooing with morbid packages. His illness is treatable and I really hope he gets the medical attention he requires before he becomes a danger to others.

100% true

My fave HIW so far. Love!

Augh, those festival outfits. That was how the most insufferable kids in my high school dressed. It was the late 90s and they were fully committed to the image of themselves as manic pixie dream girls and boys.

My brother’s dog was baited (given poisoned meat on purpose) and he died. Ned was a very sweet dog, totally innocent victim. The neighbor apparently did it because my brother refused to mow the lawn, and it really pissed his dickhead neighbor off, who was a weird fascist about his neighborhood looking “respectable”…

I took an intensive lit course at college and one of our readings was the book of Genesis. The lecturer gently and diplomatically explained that we’d be analyzing Genesis in the same way we would any of the philosophy and literature we’d been reading, not treating it as doctrine, whatever people’s religious beliefs…

Odenkirk is profoundly good in BCS. BCS took Saul from a what was basically a clown character - a great one but still a clown - to a deeply nuanced and complex character. BCS is art. Like, it should be playing on a loop in a gallery somewhere.

There’s hope! I’m 35, been married for ten years and barely a day goes by when one of us isn’t all, “God I love you baby. You’re so fucking cute. Get over here now, minus the pants.”

Maybe he should leave her, and then his wife could meet someone she actually wants to have sex with. Win win.

Eyeliner game strong

I don’t understand what people have against curly hair. I honestly don’t get it. I think I might be culturally out of the loop on this issue. When I was a tween/teen in the 90s in Western Australia, we were obsessed with curly hair and furiously envied everyone with naturally curly hair. You have never seen so many…

Arise chicken. Chicken, arise.

“Well if there ever is a loop hole, don’t be so hard on yourself”

34. Too old for all these things bar one.

Wow Jia, this book sounds really, really good. I’m Australian and grew up in a small surf town, and at first I was all “No because surfing I can’t even no.” Then I read. Great interview, wonderful sounding book. Will read.

Shel? Sheldon? No, no, you did not have great sex with Sheldon.

Thanks to my father’s marriages I’ve had five different stepbrothers. I never fucked any of them but I did have an undisclosed crush on the first one.

Intrigued. Tell!

Heyyyy Mr. Kanye
