Damn, Am I Glad I Went To The #WomensMarchNYC
Ok, so I didn’t go enthusiastically. Not at first. My fear and distrust of the general public has increased 1000% after the election. I know that My Liberal Bubble is a relatively safe and progressive place to live, but since November 9th, I can’t help but eye every cis white man with a little bit…

Let’s talk about this GOOD NEWS for a little while and ignore that icky thing happening today SHH no don’t say it because *he* is a bully and bullies thrive on attention
CONFESSION: for most of my life, I’ve been terrified of Hot Glue Guns. I think I can trace this back to a school-sanctioned crafting event as a child where I realized DAMN, hot glue guns are HOT! Like, hotter even than you’d think! And the GOOD NEWS this week is that I actually….ADORE HOT GLUE…

My angel cherubs, let me advise you: be very wary of people who have no trouble picking a favorite book. It usually indicates that they have very little basis for comparison, if you know what I mean. I mean they must not read much! I really hate when websites prompt me to set up “security questions”…

This Is My Nose, Reacting to the Week of Jan. 16th — Jan. 20th
—
by
Wow, my nose is just feeling pulled in so many different directions by so many different emotions. Clearly, the bridge of my nose is shirking away from acknowledging the horrifying fact that the end of the week is Trump’s Inauguration. You can see the marked indent of cognitive dissonance, where my nose just refuses to…

The Bachelor 21.2: The One Where HEY did you know that Liz slept with Nick at Jade & Tanner’s Wedding????
—
by
Let’s be honest: The Bachelor is a long show where not much actually happens. Each episode is approximately two hours long, and until the point where we can list all the contestants off the top of our head, we don’t really care what happens. So it becomes necessary to pad out the episode. In this case,…

GOOD NEWS it’s Friday the 13th in the Year of the Apocalypse so nothing else worse can happen, right?
—
by
Ah yes it’s true, as Jenelle Evans once eloquently stated, “Nothing else worse can happen, mom.” Which is, I guess, kind of a good way to go through the first Friday the 13th of 2017? Like, we survived 2016, which was the year we thought was gonna be fine but then we realized we were…

Fuck Off w/ “Fuckboy”
I know we all meant well, and I know that there’s a lot to unpack, but can I please, please ask that we leave the term “fuckboy” in 2016. Seriously. Please. 1. First of all, as Inigo Montoya would say, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think…

The Bachelor Season 21 Ep. 1 Recap: “In A World Full Of Red Dresses, Be A Shark.” Or Dolphin. Or Don’t. Actually, Just BE YOURSELF

by
In the world of reality TV dating shows, it’s really important to stand out, be memorable. Ideally, you don’t want to be memorable as being the mumbly, annoying guy who came in second place three times. As I told my boyfriend last night while he watched the show with me (yeah, I don’t have a…

GOOD NEWS
Hello hello hello and welcome to the first (slightly belated) GOOD NEWS of 2017! We’re merrily dancing on the razor’s edge of mutually assured destruction –– but because the human brain can only handle so much fear before it implodes, I’m focusing on only the things that make me happy, and forget for just a…

“Woo Bridge”
—
by
In case you were wondering, that’s the official sign for a Woo Bridge. What’s a Woo Bridge, you ask? Well, it’s something I made up in a dream. Several dreams, in fact. And I fucking hate them. A Woo Bridge is a bridge that goes up really high and then comes down really steep. Usually,…

The Life-Changing Magic Of DOING SOMETHING
—
by
Life. Changing. I’ve been assisting at this studio for a couple of days now and already it’s like a magic wand over my life. Remember when I felt like I was going crazy, because nothing I tried seemed to ever work out? Well, I think it’s safe to say I’ve done a 180 from that.…

My (One) One-Night Stand
I think one of the most amazing things about a NEW YEAR is the temptation to revisit and reflect on our pasts. As much as I still believe Time is a construct, like “virginity” and “breakfast” (feel free to quote me), I’ve done some re-reading of my own blog. It’s part nostalgia and part research: as I…

Currently… in January 2017

FEELING: Hopeful…hopeful! Do you know how many of these “currently” updates I’ve been wanting, waiting to say that hope had returned to my universe? . WATCHING: Woah, well, aside from the Netflix series I recently recommended, I watched Practical Magic the other day because Shelby over at Femnasty told me once that I looked like Nicole…

A Clean Start
—
by
If there are three words that New Yorkers hate more than “L Train Shutdown,” ~*shudder*~ it’s gotta be these three: “IT’S LAUNDRY DAY.” I was determined to start 2017 with clean everything: clean towels, clean sheets, clean clothes, clean throw pillows, clean Turbie twist. I even bought a bottle of Febreeze to de-stinkify…

the best GOOD NEWS of the year, roundup
Awwwww you guuuyyys it’s my last weekly Good News roundup of 2016! You know, in years past, I would have felt a twinge of nostalgia saying “Last X of 20XX,” but I really don’t feel anything. TIME IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, like virginity and breakfast. And besides, I doubt anyone’s going to be very nostalgic about…

New Year’s Resolutions? Well, Why Not.
Retire the phrase “tfw.” It was funny for a while, but now I’ve got that feeling that it’s overplayed. Stop snarking on popular things — because sometimes popular things are popular because they’re good — like rosé, and Beyoncé (NOTE: I recognize that not all popular & good things have “é” in them, and not all things…

2016 Year in Review
Buckle up, Buttercup! It’s the annual massive “best posts of the year” post! I’ve done it in 2012, 2013, 2014, and dang if it didn’t take me 1 2 3 4 tries but I did it in 2015, too. We’ve got 12 months to cover and a total of 165 posts this year to choose…

How Limoncello And Rain Made Me Appreciate George Michael

What you need to know is this: the year was 2010. I was traveling Europe with my boyfriend. And I was mortally afraid of embarrassing myself. Luckily, I no longer have that fear, or this story might never be told. Anyway… Along the journey, my beau and I developed a sort of code for extricating…

5 Tips For Dressing Warm & Stylish In NEW YORK CITY This Winter!!!

Tip #1: Buy all your “winter fashion” two sizes larger than you normally wear. This way, you can fit more layers underneath and still look fab — no-one would ever guess that you have on a full snowsuit under your cute little outfit! Tip #2: If you’re purchasing a new winter coat this year, consider…

Have Yourself A Pukey Little Christmas

Christmas 2016 is one we won’t soon forget. Even if we wanted to. Oh, we had a really nice time, don’t get me wrong! At the last minute, my boyfriend asked me to come with him to his family Christmas in Connecticut for the weekend. We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with crackers and…
