In which I lecture. (Because fuck it, I pay the hosting fees here AND I CAN.) You hate holidays. I get it. You’re woke and clever and can’t be taken in by money-making corporate holidays. You’re totally too smart to fall for any of this shit. So you reject the few celebrations your culture observes, […]
In which I make political commentary. I try to do my research. Even if I really, really don’t want to. I’ve read several long-form think pieces about this man’s upcoming presidency. And the weird thing is that they exist: there are persons, educated persons, DC insiders, who are writing long-form think pieces about this man’s […]
In which Facebook gets far too much of my good material, so I’m cross-posting some here as well. My original post, on Trump’s appointments, and specifically about his meeting with Kennedy: Now we’ve got anti-vaxxers, climate change denialists, a rich bitch who has a weird hatred for schools. Absolute opposite of ‘brain trust.’ It received […]
In which I’m a vegetarian, but not an idiot. Click on the image below for a really great #longread about zoo animal management, that really makes you wonder how anybody can get so fucking freaked out and upset about professionals doing their jobs. Professionals. Experts. People who know way more than you do about managing animals. […]
In which we each opened a present on Christmas Eve. I got a ring! Terrible picture brought to you by low light and my cell phone. — According to the listing, it’s a “created Alexandrite pear ring, set in .925 sterling silver with rhodium finish.” I have no idea what rhodium is. When my grandfather […]
In which there’s another rant about politics. Absolutely do not vote third party. It is TOO LATE to vote your so-called consciences. You want to fix democracy? Then why didn’t you third-partiers do it last year? The year before? The five years before that, or the decades before that? I’ll tell you why: because you […]
In which there are a variety of reversible, seasonally appropriate motherfucking handmade placemats!!! When your mom is psychic: You buy a table and you think, damn, some placemats sure would be great. AND THEN YOUR MOM SENDS YOU A BOX OF THEM RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE, AND THERE’S, LIKE, DIFFERENT ONES FOR MAJOR HOLIDAYS […]
In which I feel both uplifted and awkward. Once in awhile, I fall accidentally into a religious conversation with a devout Christian about the experience of the practice of religion. And she says stuff, and I say stuff, and she’s pleased with my insight and depth of understanding, and we’re really grooving and having a […]
In which it’s so political out there that it’s just better if I bitch here, where nobody but, like, five people and a couple of bots will ever see it. This article just showed up in my timeline. Being a woman, I clicked on it. https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/the-reality-that-all-women-experience-that-men-dont-know-about-kelly-jrmk/ Oh. My. Fucking. GOD. Don’t click through. It’s awful. […]
In which I go off on victimhood mentality as displayed by a member of a privileged* class. I just read a huge, long, 40-post tweetfest freakout about “sexual assault.” The writer claims that she got licked on the cleavage in a hotel bar. She’d gone merely to collect a fork, with which to eat her […]
