Scrotum

Beloved seasonal classic. Not to get all food snobby, but in my experience, the vast majority of people who dislike Thanksgiving turkey are the ones who don’t know how to cook it properly. Yes it takes a long time to make, this is why we only do it once a year. Not because it’s inferior to other foodstuffs. Brine it,…

1. Pumpkin pie is delicious.

Usually about seven-eight bucks I guess.

How much money does one even need to explore a submarine?

Lena is generally an A+ illustration of the old adage re: liberals, “An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times. Ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally.”

The white people, both liberals and conservatives, that rush to defend Nazis and the KKK on behalf of free speech haven’t been as vocal about this. Hmm.

That’s true. They’re not saying “everyone who likes Infinite Jest is an asshole.” It’s more like “This particular type of asshole is frequently into Infinite Jest.” It’s like how a pain in your abdomen is not necessarily appendicitis, but if you’ve got appendicitis you’ll quite likely have a pain in your abdomen.

I’m a black, disabled, queer woman from the south and I don’t resent a fucking to-the-manor-born journalist one bit. He hasn’t taken a thing from me and, with this gig, has given so very much back to me. Hush.

I think it’s unfair and futile to ask individuals to tamp their ambitions to “make room for someone else”. This is precisely the reason we need systematic change — you can’t simply ask a smart, motivated, passionate, educated person to ‘just not’. They have every right to do what they want to do and this is a…

Is there any job he could do that you wouldn’t attack him for?

My kids used to think I was kidding when I said my Mom used to throw shoes at me and they would bend around a corner to connect unerringly with the back of my head. Right up until my youngest son told my oldest son that “he didn’t give a fuck”. From the kitchen, she threw both shoes, hooked them through the dining…

Henson was taken from us too soon. His work with Brian Froud created such wonderful and yet somehow age appropriate creepiness. Gaiman’s picked up this torch of strange, sometimes-neutral-sometimes-benevolent darkness in my headspace.
