I’ve just started putting my personal essays out into the world again, and when I posted one yesterday I was reminded of a Donna Tartt interview (a rare occurrence, she never talks to anyone) where she says that once a thing is in the hands of a reader, it doesn't really belong to her anymore.

I've just returned from my annual pilgrimage to see my east coast friends and while I was there I wrote a thing that maybe you want to read? It's about the lake house where I stayed for a few days, but it's also about aging and memories and hope and fear and why Maine and Minnesota smell the same.

The Lake

The lake in the morning is absolutely silent except for the birds, who yell at each other from the tops of the trees that crowd the shore…

GUEST CONTRIBUTOR: Diarrhea Lettuce: Building a Culture of Resistance One Poop Joke at a Time

Last week we hosted Ami Berger on our podcast, and during no episode in our show’s relatively short history have we laughed so much.

I know this ship has sailed, been smashed to bits on the rocks, and the crew all eaten by sea monsters, but just imagine what would be happening right now if President Obama had just paid $5.6 million to a woman he raped.

Lindsey Graham knew exactly what Trump is and chose to serve him anyway. That is his legacy.

People really out here wondering why Platner thought he’d ever have a chance at the Senate given his SA history as if we didn’t have a serial rapist and self-proclaimed p*ssy-grabber currently falling asleep at a fucking NATO summit

In the fall of 1991, I was driving with my dad from Boston up to Maine, listening to Anita Hill testify in Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearing. We were so engrossed that we missed our exit and didn't realize it until we noticed we were in Vermont.

Interrupting your regularly-scheduled snark to say that if you are a survivor of SA, please take care of yourself on social media (and elsewhere) while these Epstein emails are being dumped. I can’t even imagine how triggering some of this stuff must be.
