I am mostly over here now.
I’ve had some seller’s remorse lately - I miss you guys.
Hopefully I’ll see you all on the other side.

YOU. GUYS!
I’ve been dreaming about blogging this for years. Literally, YEARS.
Kenneth: I'm worried about my bird, Sonny Crocket. Would you mind going to my apartment and feeding him?
Tracy: Yeah, ok. Birds are like little dinosaurs, so what I'll be doing is actually pretty cool and brave.

How to be Friends with an Extrovert

(I forgot that I wrote this and left it in Drafts until just now!)
I keep seeing that list about being friends with an introvert. Here are some tips for being friends with the other side of the spectrum.
(Unlike the introvert list, this isn’t a bunch of instructions on how to treat us so we don’t get uncomfortable. This is more of an “FYI” scenario.)
1) We...

– Just listen to the patronizing bullshits on this would you? And that’s the big problem, isn’t it? Social institutions are missing out on the labor. Also, it’s true that the recession makes things oh so complicated. GEEZ GUYS I hope the overseers and holders of the reins of life will allow...
kelsium:
I am pretty sick of allowing the Right to force our engagement with meaningless bullshit when there are actual real things to deal with politically. Important things. Like, you know, the fact that there are no jobs. And the fact that people can’t afford to get educated for the jobs that there aren’t. And the fact that we’re still pouring money into a sandy hole on the other side of the...

That is all.
WatchI retract my previous allegations about what kind of day I was anticipating. Apparently it’s going to be THIS kind of day, because after watching a thing like this, nothing that happens today will erase its memory. I’ve never actually seen the Real Housewives of New York, but I wish it were a whole lot more like Andy Cohen and Stephen Colbert’s version of the Real Housewives of...

Just checking to make sure that is actually a picture of Rachael Ray standing next to a giant portrait of… Rachael Ray, that is showing up on my dashboard. Okay, yes, I see what kind of day it is going to be.
Chelsea Clinton Getting Married
Far more troubling, I would argue, is that the ceaseless obsession with and exultation over Chelsea’s upcoming nuptials is emblematic of how our culture rewards women who marry, decorously or not. The hyperventilation over a woman’s nuptial day — a frenzy so outsize that the media applies investigative efforts that might be better suited to, say, the BP disaster —...

INSTITUTIONALIZED: There's No College in Here
I started my sentence in 1993 at FCI Manchester, a medium to high-security facility in the mountains of Kentucky. It was a brand new prison, just opened. My only goal was to enroll in college courses, and I was happy to learn the education department there offered classes through the University of Eastern Kentucky. I signed up for courses in the fall of 1994. The university professors came...

This is fascinating and troubling. I had no idea that wearing a bag across one’s body could be considered calling attention to the chest—I thought it was just a more secure way to wear a bag.
