Good News! Obamacare Lives to Die Another Day! Also: PUPPIES!
Oh, HELLO! Well, this week has been a ride. Or, to be more specific, it’s been a roller coaster that climbs steadily up and up and up, higher and higher and higher, and then you puke your life out on the way

So, Microwaves Are Hot Now
Call me #trendy. Microwaves are a trendy topic now, thanks to Kellyanne Conway suggesting that Barack Obama used the common household appliance to spy on Donald J. Trump. If you’re a reader who lives outside America who believes in prayer,

When The Bachelor 21.5 Stops Being Escapist Fun And Starts Becoming A Metaphor For America’s Almost-Certain Doom
The Bachelor used to be my escapism. Used to be. Maybe it’s just the greige-colored glasses I’ve been wearing since Jan. 20th, but this week’s episode just reminded me constantly that we — America — are totally, royally, hopelessly fucked. Let’s look

GOOD NEWS! We survived another week! Let’s “Stick It To The Man”!
Wow! What a week! This week was INTENSE and it all started on Sunday, with the #NoBanNoWall march in NYC. On Monday, I went to a Rise & Resist meeting which was very educational! On Tuesday, I needed an outlet

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

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

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
