You should really read Aisha Tyler’s book. Her childhood was wild.

Felicia Day’s and Aisha Tyler’s memoirs are great. Mindy Kahling’s is really good (the first one, haven’t read the second), as is Tina Fey’s. Amy Poehler’s is good, better as an audiobook.

Stripped down to loincloths and hung out in the hills for the summer, is my guess. Winter in lodges with lots of fur and fires.

I could never understand, growing up in the Central Valley and Sierra foothills, how someone could build houses there without air conditioning? I’ve been in Sacramento when it hit 115F, and was muggy as hell. It used to go over 100F for most of the summer in the foothills, so my parents finally bought a swamp cooler.…

Remember when Joe Rogan was attractive?

Unfortunately, part of that work is shilling for Autism Speaks.

It’s a con game, no matter what. It doesn’t matter whether or not interest is paid on savings, charging a fee to transfer money in a process that is completely automated is a bullshit move.

Going on two months. Seeing the rheumatologist in a week and a half, and hoping for a diagnosis. It’s really helping me physically so much, so I’ve just had to recognize when I’m getting wound up and step back.

Since the interest paid on savings is less than 1%, I’m not buying that.

As soon as banks were legally required to offer no overdraft protection, I turned it off. Same thing. I’d rather come up short, and have to put something back, than get hit with $35 (or more) in fees.

Way late to this, but I read an article a few years ago on the women who work at Colonial Williamsburg (which, of course, I can’t find now), and how they care for their hair.

I just went way short with my hair, but I’m sticking to my washing it three times a week. However, I do rinse it everyday in the shower to get out excess product. Sometimes I’ll recondition it on those days, since I blowdry every day now.

They don’t want to admit that we don’t all have exactly the same options and opportunities. Everyone can be rich in America, right? Well, those of us that aren’t, know that’s complete BS.

They weren’t asking for advice for their behavior; they were asking for advice on how to double down on their BS.

If you read the entire post, and the awesome comments, it sounds like a small, local call center, with a bunch of cliquey employees, while the employee who quit was not part of the group.

I’m on prednisone right now, and it’s probably a very good thing that I’m in menopause.

Muffy has staff to start the yacht. Really, dear.

You’re doing all you can right now. You’re giving support that she requests. Probing and pushing will only cause more problems.

Jia Tolentino did a post a week or two ago on going blonde and maintenance. She lists the products she uses to keep it ash-toned, and stop the orange/yellow.

I’m celiac, and I get something similar when I accidentally get some gluten. They usually show up on my arms first, but also my face and legs. They’re like small whiteheads, occasionally itchy.
