Definitely Ms. and then a last name, always! And Ginny asked me to keep it out. It's pretty easy to figure out, anyway :) Read more

Is it really a good rate for that much work, including permission to record/demand for promotion and own costume/etc? I really don't know, I'm asking! But I think the point is less how much they were offering — she said she wouldn't have done it for more money — and more that it's problematic to imply she wants to Read more

How would this "in public" thing work, anyway? Would it be like a reality TV show? Or would the abortions take place in town squares? Read more

I thought a lot about her willingness to die while writing this piece. I imagine that feeling prepared to die for a cause you believe in (especially when you know you'll never actually have to do that) must make you feel very powerful and important, like there's a purpose for your life on this planet. I think that's Read more

When did I call her insane? I didn't? How did I make fun of the way she talks? I just quoted her directly. Read more

My thoughts exactly. What happened to the good ol' "draw a big red circle around unsatisfactory body parts" hazing tactics of days past? (KIDDING) Read more

I always thought Diet Pepsi was way too sweet! Regardless of your vessel of choice. Read more

I ASSUME from her disdainful "psh" that (the very misled) Erin is implying the former. Read more

You're right, I just meant that they both = Coke that won't make you fat. I've never actually tried Coke Zero, is that weird? I used to chug DC like water when I was younger and then went (mostly) cold turkey around age 19 or so. Now, I think all soda tastes kind of disgusting. But man, I used to love it. Read more

Crushed ice! Maybe that's why I love fountain soda. Or loved, I mean — I don't drink it anymore, unless I'm, yes, eating spicy food. (I was making fun of myself in my own post.) Read more

I know. At one point in that video, she also says "If you're 12 and under you may not understand what I'm saying..." and I thought, god, I'm way older than you and I still don't know if I understand it. Read more

Guys, the point here is not whether Ayn Rand is worthy of anyone's admiration. It was an example. She is my personal dealbreaker. We all have different tastes! Read more

No way (re: books). My profile is super sparse. I would rather someone get to know me IRL than glean anything from my Facebook page. That's my whole point: if someone chooses to have specific info on their page, that's info they're aware they're presenting to the world, and therefore I do think it's indicative of the Read more

I would also like to note that I just looked at my own Facebook profile and the only information on there is "religious views: Tim Riggins" Read more
