This Slut Votes (Long Read)
Watch out y’all, I’m about to get all political up in here. First, let me address the language I used for this post. The word “slut” can be used as an insult, yes, but I don’t take it like that. I don’t think there is anything wrong with me having control of my own body … Continue reading
@JimmyFallon: Fat Jokes Don’t Sell Ice Cream
You guys know I love Jimmy Fallon a whole lot. I think he’s incredibly talented and funny, his show is one of my faves, and his monologues usually hit it out of the park…except for the whole tendency to tell fat jokes that aren’t even very funny. They’re usually aimed at people I don’t like very … Continue reading

In the life of every woman, there will always be the influence and teachings of one woman who stands supreme.” -The Expected One by Kathleen McGowan For me – as it is for so … Continue reading
Found: Words of Wisdom
I found these on the streets of Napa – that city is full of exciting found art opportunities! They’re great reminders of what to focus on as you navigate the proverbial roads of life.
Depression & Anxiety
Usually, those words – “depression” and “anxiety” – label conditions that I have. I like that way of phrasing it, because it implies a sense of control for me. I have these things, yes, but they do not have me. Usually. For the past fifteen years, I have had these conditions. I am usually able … Continue reading
Please Take Note: 2 Condoms = LESS PROTECTION (V. Imp!)
I’ve noticed a somewhat disturbing trend in pop culture recently, wherein people suggest using two condoms at once (“double bagging”) for double the condom efficacy. Except that actually equals less protection, not more. Edited to add: Molly: Are you gonna be double bagging your junk on our honeymoon? Mike & Molly, season 2 episode 18 “Peggy … Continue reading
Madeline Jones Responds, Radar.com Article Misleading
I posted an update on my article “I Do Not Feel Betrayed When A Plus Size Model Loses Weight” which had some pretty scathing comments aimed at PLUS Model Magazine Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones. In my original post, I wondered whether this was some sort of joke, because it was hard for me to fathom that an … Continue reading

HIMYM Review: No Pressure & No Shit
Last night’s episode was much better than weeks prior! Still not great compared to earlier seasons, but it did feel more like old times with gang. The Barney storyline was great – just what we would expect from him. Marshall and Lily’s long-term bets are perfect for their relationship, and Robin did the right thing. … Continue reading
