I have never cried upon hearing of a celebrity’s death, except for this morning. I sobbed in bed (heard from an early AM text from my sister) as if a close friend had died. Then I realized that Bowie’s music was with me during very turbulent/emotional and otherwise “important” parts of my life — just like a close…

YES THIS. I was trying to hard to figure out how this brings awareness to anything other than this clueless white woman and her crappy “art.

I turn 28 this year, and I had to explain to my 13 year-old niece what we did “before the Internet” and how I hung out with/talked to my friends in middle and high school “without having your own cell phone.”

13 year-old me is fuming with jealousy at you right now. Adding you to the top of my tweenage hate list, which only has Danielle Fischel (because they like totally kissed and Lance like totally took her to prom ughhhh!!!!)

It is easily found in many of the trial documents published online and submitted/used as evidence in the case. People aren’t pulling these facts out of nowhere.

I really recommend you read some of the case transcripts available online instead of relying on third hand info posted on Jezebel. I, like you, thought Avery might be innocent when I binge-watched the show — but then the journalist student in me did her research. There is too much damning evidence that was left out of…

Brendan came home the night of the murder with bleach on his jeans and told his mother he helped his uncle clean the garage. This info came from his mom during initial questioning.

God, I love this kind of shit.

Are you me? Because I’m a sad writer lady constantly deleting everything off Facebook, too. Perhaps we are long lost twins, brought together by the ~*~magic~*~ of the Internet.

Word. The Church has a youth problem. What better way to modernize the Church and mass (which, let’s be real, is stuck in 1850) than to have priests incorporate “trends” into their homilies and show everyone “I’m a person, just like you!”??? The best priest we had in my Catholic school was a young Irish man, and he…

I want to be her best friend. I live in LA, soooooo I think I can make it happen. I like Minions Meme BritBrit.

ME TOO!

There are a lot of new apps that are coupons or coupon-similar. Your local store might have an app — Vons does, and since I live in LA where coupons aren’t as good as say the Midwest where they double coupon, I get lots of tailored deals to things I already buy. I also use Ibotta religiously. If you sign up with this…

Word. I bet homegirl would be surprised to discover that people her age (gasp!) in LA (gasp!) use coupons too. Sometimes, saving $20 on your grocery bill helps a fuckton.

I live in LA — which is where the write of this article supposedly lives, and makes the article more interesting because we have pretty strict coupon “laws” at our local grocery chains. If you live in a coupon friendly area (ie: your stores allow “double coupons”) you can easily go all-out extreme coupon. If you’re…

I’m insanely thankful that my parents sent me to pretty liberal Catholic Schools. I had sex ed (or some version of it) beginning in 2nd grade! We didn’t get into the nitty-gritty (ie: labeling parts of the penis) until 5th grade — but the early classes were more talking about “Good relationships” and “being respectful…

Nerd girls. Do not underestimate the powers of the nerd girl fandom. They buy branded shit like crazy. I work for a company that makes a lot of “branded” girly sci-fi things. They sell like hotcakes. Me, I prefer actual hotcakes.

I called them out on their Facebook page about the Hanes nonsense and the sizeist selection. I doubt I’ll get a response from the Rich White Lady, but it was worth a try!

They actually got permission to re-create the shirts. I hate Otherwild due to the fact that they sell hugely marked-up White Hipster Lady Bullshit in the middle of a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood (my neighborhood) — but they are actually in the right in this situation.

Dude, I want to love Otherwild, but I just can’t. I live on the other side of the hill from the shop, and I’ve wandered in a few times — but I seriously can’t justify spending $65 on some artisinal soap just because a lady made it. Not to mention, there’s a lot going on with owning a shop in the middle of the EXP that…
