You're right about one thing, this conversation is no longer productive. Have a good one.

I want to impress upon you how patronizing and frustrating it is to have someone tell you how you can and cannot talk about your problems. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING. You're fucking right I'm getting angry, because over and over you are telling me that I'm not understanding other people when a) you have no…

Privilege isn't about blame, it's about recognizing that there are parts of your life that are easier because of the way you were born. I recognize that you're defensive about being privileged, but it's really making it hard to have a conversation with you. This whole conversation has been making me angry because you…

I'm going to invest in Depends now.

I was hoping to get some schadenfreude out of that, but instead I'm just sad.

Good for Vedder, seriously. But I hate living in a country where $100,000 doesn't cover even the most insanely difficult medical procedure. Fuck.

You really think the issues you face day to day are the same as the ones I face day to day? If you can't recognize that simple fact that there really isn't going to be a dialogue between us.

I will try to address all of this, but there is a lot to unpack here. First of all, I think you're making the common mistake of confusing people who are progressives with the Democratic party and Democratic politicians. Thinkpieces aren't policy, nor should they be. People angry at Amy Schumer's racism have every…

I'm there too, I've been so disinterested. But it helps to buy some fresh food and then get mad at myself for possibly wasting it until I actually do use it.

I can understand that, for sure. I guess I just haven't seen any of this playing out in real life and that makes it hard for me to see it as a real problem.

I really love it, it feels like a long ramble through the inside of Aesop's brain, good bad or otherwise. It's been soothing for me recently. Besides, what's not to love about an album with a rap song about a cat?

Maybe if you had taken me on your vacation this year it wouldn't have sucked for me. Thanks a lot!

I received a pasta attachment and a meat grinder for my stand mixer this year and I'm pretty happy about that. My first goal for the new year is to cook more and this will make for some more diverse meals.

The Impossible Kid - Aesop Rock.

In this universe, yes.

Good luck, Ricky!

After the crushing disappointment of not getting the job I wanted overseas last week I was having a hard time with work in general and I'm just not in it so much. Then this morning I got a bite from an old recruiter I worked with over the summer with a job that literally seems to have been written for my skill set. I…

I finally finished a blanket I'd been working on off an on for the better part of 2 years and now I feel weirdly empty and lost. So I pulled out another old blanket project, one that I don't intend to give as a gift, so there's less pressure. It's nice to work on something less imposing, but I do work better under…

I always want to say "you go girl!" but it never seems to be quite the right sentiment. But seriously, go you! This is awesome.

Thanks, I really did not want to try and look that up because it really made everything more disgusting for me.
