seriously, they’re 10 and 12. They can practically fly themselves to mexico if you give them each an iPad and a backpack full of snacks.

Does anyone mentally pre-plan for a celebrity death? Part of what makes a lot of these hard is that they were seemingly sudden. But most people die of old age. I was thinking about this when that Fran leibowitz/Martin Scorsese series came out on Netflix. I watched it ping-ponging between delight at how good it was,…

Her music was the soundtrack of my late 20's, before everything went to shit. I haven’t watched the documentary, because some small irrational part of me is still expecting to hear new music from Amy. I’m afraid watching it will bring home once and for all the finality of her death, and slam the door on a happier time…

Came for the argument. Stayed for Fuck Ricketts

There are very few style hills that I - a person of profoundly average appearance - are willing to die on. But please, I beg you, unless you have a damn near symmetrical face, cool it with the center part. cc’d on this - Meghan McCain and Kim Guilfoyle.

I have not yet yelled at my husband “You’ve done for eight months what I’ve done for eight years, but yeah, give yourself a fucking medal.” I have, however, sobbed it during therapy, which currently takes place over the phone while I’m parked in the lot at an abandoned Sears.

Kiddo on Saturday, ”Since Joe Biden is going to fix Covid, do I FINALLY get to go to school on Monday? I’ve been here since March, and you guys are not as good at school as my teachers. No offense.“

But I’m sure yesterday’s announcement from the pope saying, and I’m paraphrasing slightly, QUIT BEING ASSHOLES, will change everything.

Earl Warren was never a judge. Don’t know what about him today would be more disqualifying -fact he went to *gasp* an agricultural college, or his career in *tsk tsk* state politics. Either way, ACB is going to do her damnedest to take that pauper’s rulings - Miranda v. Arizona, Loving v. Virginia, Griswold v.…

Why is this content called “pro-ana” instead of “pro-ano”? I realize saying it out loud, I don’t hit the “or” in “anorexia” especially hard, and I don’t know how others pronounce it. Still, I slightly panicked thinking I had been spelling and saying “anorexia” incorrectly for the past few decades.

I hesitated to read this article, since the headline alone gave me hives.

Would Doug work? My dad is Tom, and he was the one who got yelled at while volunteering as a line judge at a track meet. The yeller’s name was Doug. Doug was later investigated for embezzlement.

Remember in spring 2008 when she said everyone should just stay cool until the convention, because Obama could get assassinated in June, just like Bobby Kennedy?

I own a pitchfork, just tell me when and where.

Boo-risma! boo-risma!

I usually try to avoid spoilers, but I gotta know: does she get to that email that says, “Go to Wisconsin. For the love of all that is holy, go to Wisconsin!”

Boo fucking hoo.

Or, wouldn’t you be worried your friend might be suicidal? I mean, Crenshaw is a profoundly dumb man, but this oughta raise some red flags.

Walked with my husband and kids to a very basic sushi restaurant, ordered dinner. Fifteen minutes later, my brother, sister-in-law, and their four kids walked by, saw us through the window, and decided to eat dinner there at a separate table. Once they were settled, my brother came over and asked me how to order…

After all the work that goes into making those drinks at Aviary, spitting in it would be criminal. This hero knew what she was doing.
