In which there’s a screen shot. This is from an article in The New Yorker about terrorists: The mania that goes along with falling in love? No, that’s not love. It’s lust, or possession, but it’s not love. Everyone should be taught this, even girls. …self-actualization and the unashamed consummation of certain lustful desires. No. […]
In which I lecture. This article advises you to immerse yourself in all the miserable details of your debt, and feel how bad you feel for an entire week, because apparently remorse and guilt will somehow magically attract money into your life. Because your debt is the result of your own terrible emotional flaws, and […]
In which there’s a screen shot. THIS IS A TWEET FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ACCOUNT: “During the last 8 years, Americans have been under attack from the federal government for following the tenets of their faiths.” Wait, what? Oh. No. No. No, no, no. Christians are not under “federal attack.” Trump’s basically agnostic, so this […]
In which I’m just going to go right ahead and say that maybe the reason women didn’t traditionally run universities was because everybody knew we’d start giving out PhDs in queer vegan comic blogging. This is another anti-feminist rant. I know, I know, nobody cares. I get that. It’s fine. Listen, I know I’m a […]
In which I’ve read so much socially acceptable male-bashing bullshit online today, I just can’t even. But I’m going to anyway, and it’s this: what if society was structured with women’s and men’s spheres mostly separate… for a reason? Maybe women domesticated ourselves, just like cats, deliberately. Also, I’ve been out of school a long […]
In which I don’t understand. Why do store-bought dips suck? I bought a huge container of artichoke-jalapeno dip last weekend, and while it isn’t exactly inedible, it’s really not good. You can safely buy salsa — well, many of them, at least — and those sort of 70’s-style chip dips (like French onion or whatever), […]
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. […]
