Jane Mayer has been kicking ass long before anyone heard the name “Ronan Farrow.” ALL the respect for Mr. Farrow, but Mayer reigns SUPREME.

 She has two Pulitzer nominations.

There’s a whole bunch of people in the hashtags on the reporting who are with you on that.

Well, if you want to have a rage stroke, you could read her masterfully reported book Dark Money about the Koch brothers and their libertarian vision of America.

And Jane Mayer- stop erasing women from the historical record.

I had an interview this week for a dream job, something I was uniquely talented for and high 6 figure salary...and I blew it off. Canceled and went and bought chickens instead. Seriously, who does that? Me.

They are beauties! Honestly? We got chickens because my youngest was obsessed with them. When we picked them from the farmer, it was 2 red ones, 2 yellow ones...I didn’t know anything about breeds and personalities. We have Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons, Americaunas (lay blue eggs), leghorns (chicken assholes),…

The power went out in my entire neighborhood today for about an hour, for no apparent reason. My phone battery was at 60%. The boredom and panic were immediate. Proof I'd be useless in an actual crisis.

This is so cute! I think it looks great as-is.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s okay to screw up, everyone does! 

You do such nice work, your stitches are perfect!

Very few people are well-adjusted. Mostly, people are more or less fucked up.

We aren’t. We are all terrible messes, we just manage to hide it from everyone.

You are not alone and you are not the only one to feel this way. And a whole bunch of those “well-adjusted” people are probably freaking out on the inside too. Do you have someone in your life you can talk to?

I made questionable choices this week when I met a random stranger off the turnpike to buy chickens out of his trunk. Squeeeeee! These girls are Mille Fleur D’ullces. They are Belgian and friendly lap chickens, super affectionate and just darlings. We named then Waffles and Pancake.   I am slowly turning into a crazy…

Positive news this week. My local council received the letter from my doctor explaining why the flat they gave me was making my depression and anxiety worse, the council have put me as high priority to start bidding on places that are one bedroom on their Let Select scheme so hopefully I won't be in this hell hole…

Really looking forward to discussing references with job applicants in the post-Kavanaugh era.

It’s so insane to me. They’re not even denying that he didn’t actually do this, they’re making excuses or trying to find the silver lining for this.

Seriously.  For people who are crowing on incessantly about false accusations and people swinging the “sexual assault” charge around all-willy, they completely ignore (and in fact promote it) when someone of their own does the exact same thing to some completely random other guy.  

The GALL to access a random dude of the attack holy shit. I thought ‘False threats of sexual assault’ were the worst things men could experience? Oh, right it’s just an excuse to act however they want with no repercussions and they also want this guy on the court no matter what.
