Yes, Virginia, you don't have to swallow.
Years ago, when I did attend church, my female friends always referred to me as the “wild one.” I assumed this was because “wild ones” watched Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and called Ann Coulter a cunt. Unbeknownst to me, there was more.

Fundamentalist Jihad
For all the talk on the lips of Americans of “Jihad”, I wonder how accurate most people’s understanding of it is, and, how many fundamentalist American Christians with their marriage of nationalism and Christianity recognise their own current Jihad, the irony of their own desire for theocracy while fighting the nations that are crippled by it.

Noah and Julie made dinner tonight.
—This was written during and after our impromptu “Kids Cook Night”.—
we’ve been banned from the kitchen only on the agreement that no sharp knives or fire is allowed. (both parents and children.)
We can overhear them in the kitchen:

“One day in the bathroom, I felt something kind of strange when I was wiping,” she writes. “There wasn’t really a hole there — it felt kind of flat. I thought it was a little weird, but I had a 19-month-old and a newborn to care for, so I brushed it off. I wasn’t bleeding, I wasn’t in pain, so I didn’t address it.”

two days
and I take the GRE.
I feel like my ears are going to bleed soon.
And I just hope I don’t cry.
(shh. don’t tell anyone.)
I had a great idea today.
Which is frustrating, as I always get the best ideas when I don’t have time to commit to them.
It’s all about grief, life, and people we miss. And it is good. So, that’s that.

1. Don’t say “yes” when you mean “no.” It’ll make you resentful. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

3. Try to make a gratitude...
