I am a mother and let me tell you, self control is all that stands between me and jail when it comes to the kids.

I just said this above, but getting older has actually made me appreciate salads, though I hated them for years. I still hate iceberg lettuce, but there are some many other tasty options! And when I eat a big salad I feel good afterward, when a great deal of other food often makes my blood sugar go wonky, so I just…

I slept on an air mattress once when I was about 13 and it slowly deflated in the night, meaning I woke up lying on a flat piece of plastic. I’ve been suspicious of them ever since.

That means nightly texts at 11pm that “everyone” is meeting at some shitty EDM bar and we totally have to come out!!1!

I was thinking about this - re the usual female feelings of fatness not fatness - and I realized that even when I actually was bone thin, ribs showing, I still thought I was obese. Now I am decidedly not super skinny anymore, actually do have fat, and I just don’t care because no matter what size I actually am, I am…

I did the clubbing thing and the rave thing. It was so fun when I was in college and early 20s. And then one day I was like. No thanks man, I like not feeling like shit the rest of my weekend.

I had a coworker ask me to dance at a Christmas party once and I gave him my best April Ludgate and said “DOES IT LOOK LIKE I DANCE? NO. It looks like I sit at home and smoke pot and listen to records.”

He laughed and bought me a beer and we talked about music all night.

And WOW I just got really, really sad because I…

Giving a shit about my physical appearance.

- Caring whether a bar or a restaurant is cool.

oh you mean all salads

The only way the police will ever gain the public's trust is to clean house and clean house aggressively. It sound like at least a few officers in Fairfax are trying to do just that by putting the truth over "the shield." It's good to read, though this kind of vigilance needs to extend beyond the most extreme cases of…

Isn't this an article about cops murdering TWO (geer and culosi) unarmed white people?

In high school, I had a friend get zinged in a similar manner. We were at a concert and people were drinking (he wasn't, he was DDing). The cops said they were going to also cite everyone in the group for littering if he didn't pick up the empties. As soon as he picked up the empty can to pitch it, he got arrested for…

Police are allowed to lie to you. You're not given the same right.

The death of one child of a white celebrity will end it.

If he didn't want to die, he would have had the good sense to not get murdered by the cops. When will these people learn?

Or just report a domestic violence case at that person's house.

How long are we going to let this continue? How long are we going to allow the police to murder our citizens? Where is the tipping point?

"An officer asked Geer to step out of the car. "He got out and they arrested him for drunk in public," says Stewart. "He learned he could have stayed in his car and he never would have been arrested."

Maybe I completely misread this whole essay, but what I got from it is that if I ever really want to kill someone, I should get hired as a cop first. Not only would I avoid prosecution, it also comes with a pension!
