Ugh. All I got from this was “cool mom trying to be cool, practices lax parenting with her cool high school daughter.” If she was an adult, then maybe I wouldn’t feel as weird about this as I do — but if I was caught partying and drinking at 17, my parents would have been THRILLED that the cops scared the shit out of…

*hyperventilates*

Our air quality has drastically improved over the past few decades. The stereotype of LA being overrun with smog is a fallacy that lingers from the 70s.

This is huge problem in LA. Our ERs are already overrun with uninsured and/or non-legal immigrants. From the extensive reporting that local outlets like KPCC have done on the maternity hotel boom in the SGV (huge Chinese population, makes it desire able to set up shop and target mainland Chinese) indicates that the…

Chastain is an alum of my high school, though we graduated a decade or two apart. As a young girl growing up in the Bay Area during a time when women in sports/music/any non sexualized role was a rarity, I always took some little pride in knowing she came from the same shithole as I did. I, too, thought it was weird…

Two years this August, and the smell of certain types of cigarettes makes me fucking nauseous as hell. If I get drunk and try to bum one off someone, I maybe get three puffs in before I feel sick and put it out/give it away.

I quit two years ago and my brand was usually in the $5-6 range. Not sure what they’re getting at. (I live in Los Angeles.)

I’m 27, and I quit almost two years ago. (August!) I’ve had my missteps — it was really hard being in bars in Japan AND also knowing they sold Lucky Filters in the country, which were what I started on before the US stopped selling them. But! I’ve managed. It’s progressively easier to turn a puff down, and the…

Offering myself to head up Kush Kuntz, Jezebel’s new lady stoner vertical.

I like to stand by support columns, signs, or anything else I can use to put a barrier near my body. When there’s nothing like that, I try to stand in the middle and also walk around. Stationary people are targets for this shit. Happens in LA a lot...

In L.A., the only people you meet are women in your spin class.

The guy’s delivery is like a bunch of high school hessian kids decided to cover bad 1980s bro hardcore, song sounds like they accidentally recorded their vocals over their little sister’s fun. album.

It’s California. We got weed and gay marriage wrong, but we have a decent track record in recent years when it comes to reproductive rights. Our legislature is fairly diverse, in terms of both race and gender, which keeps things nice and sane.

Britney impression was too on point. Holy shit.

Bad Blood is the jam. How You Get the Girl is unequivocally the worst.

What? Didn’t you know Implied Nudity While Black is a crime?

I’m not surprised this took place in LA. CPCs are everywhere here, usually posted up in Hispanic neighborhoods and usually disguised as some sort of “Clinica para Mujeres” — how would an uneducated, non-English speaking woman on MediCal know any different? It makes me sick to think about how many women in this city…

I work at an Asian restaurant, and this is so sad/so true.

I worked at FOX Sports while Whitlock was still mulling around. This is absolutely par for the course and does not surprise me one bit.
