Sometimes we as a society get so disgusted and offended by a TV commercial that the ad quickly gets pulled from the air, and friends, we need to apply that takedown energy towards the Verizon commercial where the guy at the plastic surgeon has his mouth in his chest. This is an emergency.

If you're in the Seattle area, please keep an eye out for my friend Daniel's Mariners memorabilia that was stolen from his storage unit!

Also, hey, if you're out in the world or the Internet trying to find special Mariners stuff to celebrate, could you let me know if you see some of the things stolen from my storage unit?

Just learned that British people call Connect Four, Four In A Row, and now I know why we dumped tea in Boston Harbor

I have away a bunch of leftover postpartum supplies and my remaining breastmilk bags on Buy Nothing to someone who told me his wife is expecting soon. Glad they can be of use to someone else!

Sean Duffy was on The Real World in the late '90s, and his wife was on the San Francisco season, which was a few years prior (and is now a Fox Business host). Between them and Kennedy (who hosted Alternative Nation back then and is also a Fox Business host now), something was up with MTV in the '90s

Alright I need a short story break before I dive back into another gargantuan anthology, so let's read one of the oldest transfemme books I'm aware of!

Autobiography of an Androgyne is one of the earliest "trans memoirs," published a solid 15 years before the commonly cited 'first' trans memoir.

Autobiography of an Androgyne by Jennie June

I remember when Theo Von was on Road Rules over 25 years ago. He's older than me, and I'm 44. Never thought he and the electrician from NewsRadio would someday be warping the minds of young men

I love going into a used book store and seeing tons of Harry Potter books. It means people are getting rid of them and they're not selling well.

Trader Joe's Exec1: we'll sell lots of really good stuff at good prices

Exec2: that doesn't sound at all evil. We're a big company, we're supposed to be evil

Founder1: we are going to have the most inadequate, cramped, badly designed parking lots in the fucking world

Founder2: ok that works

They not only stop selling beer in the seventh but they straight up run out of food and stop serving anything. We were drinking bathroom sink water out of nacho helmets.
