There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys. Guns aren't for black people, either.

Ahaha, some of them are trying to claim to me that "mean" stuff gets said on those sites too. Y'all, it is one thing to have someone call you an asshat for thinking Johnny Football is not the next Tim Tebow, it is entirely another to be responded to with rape threats or rape gifs, and have folks choosing usernames of…

I wrote this sketch for (and with) Laverne, and someone sent me the link to this post on Jezebel. I've been reading the comments, which I've generally found to be thoughtful. I understand there's a great deal of sensitivity around the subject of trans, and that was absolutely a consideration when writing this piece. I…

I'll just leave this right here:

My crowning achievement. It was also referenced in vaguely dismissive terms in a Slate article. Bet you regret that now, Slate.

She initially told investigators that a stranger came into her bunk in the middle of the night, because she "didn't want to get him, a friend, in trouble" (a claim that, of course, was used to discredit her later).

I've seen something similar work out for a guy before, as well. It was the only time I've ever seen it work, so there's that, but it doesn't diminish how creepy and weird the whole thing was. Many years ago, I was with a friend waiting for a subway train when I noticed this dude waltz up to a woman who was minding her…

My friend was telling me about this guy she was seeing for a while who turned out to be a total dick and I asked her how they met. She said, "Well, I was taking a walk and he shouted at me about my tattoos and then started following me..." Uh, you dated a street harasser and you're surprised that he turned out to be a…

She actually addresses this issue in the FAQ on her website:

Hey wait... all the girls who went through the machine get changed back, but that one male guard doesn't???

Wait it actually has an Obamacare hashtag?

I wonder what the population of women in women-only prisons is? I bet it's higher.

How dare you. WE ARE ALL SIA.

If you ever get a chance, the Harry Potter Studios tour in London is amazing. All the original props, costumes and sets. What was most amazing was to see everything and realize that a lot of what I assumed to be CGI in the movies was actually mechanical sets and props. Quite awesome, and I'm not even the hugest HP fan.

All that comes to mind.
