Let me summarize how life has become even more difficult in the past 24 hours. First of all, Supermum lost her job yesterday. Just like that, my parents are both unemployed and we are uninsured come May. How can hard-working, honest, creative, energetic and thoughtful people be dismissed? What kind of mother-fucking, conservative, gun-toting jerks dismiss my mom, the most tolerant, easy-going person I know? I can’t wrap my mind around it, so I’ll leave it at that for now.

This is all too intense to dwell on right now, so I’m signing off. I usually wouldn’t say something like this: but keep us in your thoughts.

There She Is, “Miss Skinniest Girl In The World”

ThinKing Of Robin King

Vitriolic, acerbic, egregious. Onomatopoeias. These are words that sound like what they mean. And they basically mean mean.

Thought On Summer

Most people associate Summer with certain foods and, of course, swimsuits. I am not one of those people – I have never looked forward to barbecues and picnics and I would not be caught dead in a bikini. I’m getting tired of pop-up ads for magic cellulite un-doer, instant-unfatness powder, low-calorie-low-fat-nutrition-free-picnic-foods and bikinis that will …
