Someone is apparently torrenting my dad's audiobooks. I honestly don't give any shits if people want to pirate big company's shit, but my dad is just a genre fiction author. He's never made big money doing this, he's recently widowed and on an otherwise small fixed income, and it sucks.

Most of the "extra virgin Olive oil" in Canadian grocery stores is neither extra virgin nor olive oil. Kirkland brand is actually good, but I don't have a Costco membership. I found this at RCS though, and it's legit. Real Tunisian extra virgin olive oil, bottled and dated fresh at the orchards.

The Republicans, as is their chauvinistic wont, rhetorically mock democrats and "libruls" as effeminate to question their competence. So it was poetic justice that a democratic senator who is a woman knew more about basketball than any of her misogynistic Republican colleagues, and used

Yes. I hope all the democrats follow suit. Be dogs with a bone about it. It's a perfect illustration of the GOP's bad faith complaints about "lawfare" and "perjury traps." Even if he had said the wrong team, it's ridiculously petty grandstanding to try to spin that as criminal perjury.

Seeking “accountability” as a political goal does not appeal to me. Not on a macro or a micro scale. I don’t take responsibility for changing hearts or minds. And, too often, it seems to run cover for certain styles of intimate coercion. When my enemies make themselves I take them at their word.

I was really scared when Trump was elected that we were fucked. That maybe fascism had arrived in America, and that I wouldn't live to see it fall. Tbc, fascism has arrived in the White House. It has arrived in the GOP. But it hasn't consolidated its power over the states yet, nor is it safe from

The first guy I ever dated was a classmate at McGill from San Francisco. I grew up in Chicago, and though he had never been, he really looked down his nose at it. "I know Chicago is a city by Midwestern standards, but San Francisco is a real, world class city."

An amateur astronomer I follow put out a video of when he set up a telescope on a sidewalk to observe the sun, and give people a chance to safely look at it and learn a little bit about it if they were curious. Such a mensch, it was awesome. Buncha little kids had their minds blown, a curiosity

Chicago has something for everyone. Its top-notch cuisine is fabulously diverse. It hosts amazing athletics, art, culture, nightlife, and the natural beauty of white sand beaches, turquoise water, and a belt of deciduous forest. I still think this exhibit is a standout, even there. See it if you go.

This is an important insight. If someone blows you off after a couple dates or meeting you once or twice, that might be a little immature, but it's not ghosting. But if someone you've known for a while does it, it is quite cruel.

I recently dodged a bullet with a couple people I thought could be friends but turned out to be really two faced and were clearly trying to groom me and my husband to accept exploitation and abuse in the future. I thought I'd share some red flags I should have picked up on.

I say this all the time. Most of the GOP's insane demonizing about trans people, and especially about trans kids, was very obviously typed out one handed, if you know what I mean. It is not hard to show up for this fight and win; transphobes are a bunch of creepy perverts.

Having painted nails for a month was kinda fun, but it never felt like "wow, this is so me." Because my gender is pretty much "basic nerdy guy." Anyway, experimenting with gender expression is fun and revealing, even if it's just discovering that you're fine with how you're doing it already.

When people show you who they are, believe them, and raise the boundaries you feel are appropriate. You are under no obligation to justify them to the people on the other side. The people who require your boundaries the most are the ones who are most unwilling to understand why.

Trump's cardinal sins are wrath, greed, and lust. The Supreme Court's is sloth. They're not just corrupt and stupid, they're lazy and sloppy. It's not even some disingenuous appeal to textualism or originalism anymore. It's just "this is the result because we want it, and fuck you, that's why."
