(Day 9 of 30 in 30)You know what thing I hate to see RTed on the Twitter almost more than anything?"Maybe more men would stand up and be men if women would sit down and be ladies."Or whatever that trite, patriarchal trope is.I hope you know that every time you RT that or anything of … Continue reading Chivalry is Dead Because You Weren’t Chivalrous in the First Place

(Day 4 of 30 in 30)I am at the point where I don’t want advice. Or, rather I should specify, I don’t want clichéd advice. I am uninterested in “time heals all wounds” or “just have faith” or “it wasn’t meant to be.” Mostly, because it is all bullshit.But even more so because there is … Continue reading Vent
Paying for Prostitutes, Flaccid Penises, and War: Your Tax Dollars at Work
I can’t help but wonder sometimes just how stupid people think we are. It seems, to varying degrees, but certainly more intensely during the election cycles that grow longer and longer with each campaign, that people in positions of power and prestige think we will buy whatever it is they polish into a pretty PR … Continue reading Paying for Prostitutes, Flaccid Penises, and War: Your Tax Dollars at Work
Regentrification Violence
On Friday nights, I do what everyone who is young and works too much and doesn’t care for sobriety does; I head to my closest happy hour, make friends with the bartender, and drink on a sliding scale depending on how hard my week was. This Friday was no different.I’d done drinks before dinner, then … Continue reading Regentrification Violence
For the Fourth
I am not a preacher. I am the daughter of a southern Baptist minister, but that is really another story for another therapist. Despite that pedigree and a proclivity for giving good advice, I don’t preach. I am human and flawed and ridiculous like the rest of you. I have done nothing so great that … Continue reading For the Fourth
Baby Daddy Day
I should probably issue a few disclaimers before I say anything else. The first and maybe most important one being, I am single and childless. Most of my friends, those who are single and those who are in varying degrees of love, are also childless. We’re all varying degrees of sexually active as well.In short, … Continue reading Baby Daddy Day
The (Church) Family who Preys
Generally I try to avoid the news, as my own life is already enough of a national tragedy that I don’t feel the need to exacerbate it by reading about the misfortunes of others. It’s hard enough to stay on a diet without reading about some poor kid who has cancer. No one can fight … Continue reading The (Church) Family who Preys
The Judgment of Kim Kardashian
We are all prone to judging. It is our way as humans. And really, no matter what commonly espoused clichés would have you believe, there is nothing wrong with using your judgment.Some of y'all are taking it too far though.This has never been more apparent than this morning on Twitter watching you people discuss Kim … Continue reading The Judgment of Kim Kardashian
Fuck Your Paper Bag
I wasn’t gonna blog about this. But I also wasn’t gonna drink last weekend and, well, that too was a fail.There is an interesting kind of marginalization that goes on in communities, creating these sub-communities of sorts. It is prevalent in just about any group of people that share some fundamental similarities but other large … Continue reading Fuck Your Paper Bag
But I Have White Friends
This happens to me a lot.In case you weren’t aware, I live in the south. And not even the “new” south like Atlanta or Richmond. I live in the only state recently advocating seceding from the union and where the governor actively supports whitewashing textbooks to paint slavery as some sort of colonial welfare-to-work program.There … Continue reading But I Have White Friends
