I’m black and voting for Hillary. #SorrynotSorry. I don’t find this condescending at all. Why don’t you get in government IS the right answer. I’m so tired of all these whiny people running around complaining all the politicians are in someone’s pocket or are “UNAUTHENTIC” . GO BE A POLITICIAN Then. That’s an…

I’m never going to Coachella, but those sunglasses are sweet.

This is super important. Young women have agency. Young women have sexual agency as well. 15 year olds can and should be able to make decisions about sex and their bodies. The internet deciding that this sexual experience was not consensual takes away Lori Maddox’s agency—which implies that a 15 year old actually has…

I cringed when I saw the headline. I was prepared for this to be a “Your Fave is Problematic”-style takedown of Bowie, and I honestly wasn’t sure I wanted to read it. I clicked anyhow and was pleasantly surprised.

People act as if moral absolutes are determined by arbitrary legislative enactments. We prohibit adults from having sex with minors because we want to protect minors from the imbalance in power, maturity, experience, and knowledge. Setting a particular age is an arbitrary act, its purely for simplicity, because it…

This will sound elitist, but I don’t care. The best hot chocolate I ever had was in Paris, in a shitty little diner by the D’Orsay. It was cold and rainy, and I was tired from sightseeing, and too intimidated to find a nicer restaurant with my measly French skillz. So I duck into this place, sit at the counter, and…

MAIL KIMP.

Excuse me. Rohan is an entire region of noble horse lords. The city is Edoras. (Pushes glasses up on nose.)

They did that to me also! I had my 3 week old son in a Gemini carrier. The TSA in the Des Moines airport made me take him off. I had to leave him with my husband while they took me into a private room and literally fondled my leaking tits looking for the underwire in my bra, all the while asking me questions about…

YOU MEAN BLACK PEOPLE DO OTHER STUFF AND JUST LIKE LIVE THEIR LIVES AS BEST THEY CAN LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?

Snow scares people from the south. At least the majority.

My favorite from home on Glenwood at the Angus Barn in Raleigh a few years ago.

People truly do not comprehend how poor much of the rural South is. You’ll be driving along, pass a stand of rusted-out trailers, think, “Surely nobody lives in that,” and then you’ll get far enough to see the clothesline, or someone will open the front door.

The odd thing is to run across the smug who say it could NEVER happen to them or their circle. (Usually those are the ones who wind up divorcing in droves at a certain stage.)

Oh, I fully believe that a lot of the people who say, ‘I just have a gun to protect myself or my family,’ secretly dream of that happening. They aren’t reluctant warriors—they yearn for the day when someone will offend them and they can whip out their gun and settle the score.

Diet Coke and my son went to fetch me ice cream (what? He’s 20!) since all Santa gave me was a wretched cold that damn well better not be strep. (Spoiler! I’m 60% sure it’s strep...)

Sorry emo-friend. Handsdown and TAYF came out in 2002 and Adam’s song was released in 1999.

My boyfriend played “I Typed for Miles” by Jets to Brazil out of nowhere the other night. I had “like figure skating...like asphyxiating” in my head foreverrrrrrrrrrr.

I gotta a real cute Cleveland hat today and I'm with all my siblings I'm into it kind of

Listen, I’m not a conservative, a Christian, an MRA, a MGTOW, or anything but . . . maybe this needs to be acknowledged as a really unavoidable tradeoff of a culture of total sexual agency*, with an assist from copious alcohol. That is, that rather than men or institutions just being insufficiently feminist, we’re up…
