Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Someone posted this photo, and I'm a puddle again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, that is sadmaking.

I know. I'm so fucking blue...but there's a wife and little girl, and then I feel so heartbroken for them, too, adding more heartbroken to the heartbroken. I'm working on a little story for popgurls. I started writing it a couple of days ago for the broadcast of the RRHOF, and had to start rewriting. I think that's part of why I feel awful. I was writing this huge defense of my favorite band, and how important this was in rap, especially after all the shitty things that happened with Licensed to Ill, the horrible lyrics that were the world's unfunniest joke about women being worth little in Girls: "I wanna say a little something that's long overdue. The disrespect to women has got to be through. To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends, I wanna offer my love and respect to the end."

That was huge, and it was a sincere apology. Just really watching a group grow and mature. Later they used their time at the mic at the MTV VMAs to tell the audience that performers are responsible for the safety of their fans at shows. There had been rapes and sexual assaults at one of the festivals they played. They talked about violence against women, wrote a letter of apology to the Advocate for the homophobia on License to Ill, and just got better and better.

I think that's part of the huge hurt, that I felt like I grew up and became self-aware with them and their music.

I listen to them every day in the car, driving through Atwater where they had their LA studio, on my way home from work.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

"I wanna say a little something that's long overdue. The disrespect to women has got to be through. To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends, I wanna offer my love and respect to the end."

Just like seeing that line again.

This, exactly.

MARKET! I'm packing extra cash, because I think I'm gonna go overboard. Then to EC for a haircut.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just poached an egg!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yum! Straight up in the boiling water or in a little poaching cup?

Straight up boiling water. I used vinegar, but I didn't even stir it. I left it in a bit too long, and the eggs are a little hard, but they're OK.

Our wings are not tired.

Good job! Better overdone than under IMO.
