That’s a good one. I’ve done a variation. “I love that! Is that vintage? Oh, I thought it was from the 1990s or something. I loved the 90s, didn’t you? I mean obviously you do...”

You know how politicians take blood money from the nra? Don’t vote for those politicians. #NeverNRA #Repeal2aNow #JusticeDemocrats

It’s not meant to be a hot take - it’s the world view that America is severely crippled by the way its government is presently run in regards to special interests.

I genuinely think this culture of grinding terror is as bad as the shootings themselves (like, in terms of the average school student; an actual shooting is much worse, but still only a tiny chance of it actually happening, whereas this is less traumatic than the real thing, but happens routinely to everyone). This is…

America: where “abortion is murder” and worthy of political activism but the actual murders of living, breathing children are met with political apathy at best. 

What. It’s true. So get out there and start campaigning for change in your country, this is a huge problem and tragedy that literally can be fixed just be putting in some sensible laws. 

But America loves those pre-children clusters of cells!!

Hi Russel. #YesYou. I know a lot of people who also want to “throw dinners” while you’re in the room.

“You’re definitely going to ask your coworker with MISSING FINGERS what the story is. You can’t not.”

You sound fun.

Love this!  In my teens, in the late 90s, I’d stay up late watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and then Rhoda.  I always liked Rhoda better.  Mary just seemed too perfect and unachievable.  Plus, Rhoda was funnier.

Just so everyone is clear, this show was originally supposed to be about a divorcee (Mary) but producers were afraid of public backlash from people thinking Mary had divorced Rob from the Dick Van Dyke Show. So instead it was never mentioned, although all along I got the feeling that she had been divorced, and just…

I’m a Rhoda too.

I had a conversation last night with a dear friend wherein I told her I feel somehow deficient because I don’t have marriage and kids and a house like almost everyone else in my life. It was almost a breakdown moment, because I want those things but somehow don’t see myself getting them, and I wondered why I couldn’t…

Thank you so much for this piece. I finally understand why I was always on Rhoda’s “side” when I was a kid, loudmouthed and opinionated but always frustrated and disappointed with myself because of all the perfect successful role models around me that I was supposed to follow, but I somehow couldn’t manage it.  That…

cunts are have depth and use, and are warm. She possesses none of those qualities.

No, I am a boomer, making selfish, earth-ruinous choices and not retiring so that you have to live with your parents and eat avocado toast.

KV is the best part of Criminal Minds, even after all these years. Thank you for such a great article!

Ooh, good point.  I believe that after 180 days, she is in the clear and can keep the money.  Season Three.

I had a friend who joined the Unitarians after leaving the Catholic faith. She wanted the community of faith without all the dogma and, well, faith. The congregation/fellowship she joined was remarkably eclectic. I joined her at a few gatherings, because Amnesty International was based out of the Unitarian hall and…
