Max: Wanna come to Mike's Music with me?
Me: What's near there that I would like to do?
Max: Um... Well there's a McDonald's.
Me: Wow. You think so little of me.
Max: Well, I know you like those chicken things.
Me: You know me so well.
Max: There's also that store you like, that sells those notepads you like... Uh... What are they called? Swirl pads?
Me: Moleskines?
Max: Yeah, that.
I wanna kiss you like a traffic jam. I wanna move slow… like a turtle with...

Tru's bed is set up next to her food
Max: If Tru had her litterbox over there, she'd be set for life.
Me: Yep. She could just walk in a triangle again & again forever.
Max: She'd have everything she needs.
Me: No, she needs snugglin' sometimes.
Max: Well, let's make a baby.
(awkward pause)
Max: No, not you & me... Kate, you know what I meant!

I am so grateful that I can wake up every morning & choose what adventure to have today. I am so grateful that my life is full of love & laughter. I am so grateful that I can choose a better emotion to attract a better experience. I am so grateful that “spiritual” can be its own thing, unconnected to “religious.” I am so grateful that I live in this lovely colorful...

First, learn about making sex safe. The best option is to talk to your doctor, if you feel comfortable doing that (& if you don’t, you should probably switch doctors).
If you’re planning on going on the Pill, get a prescription for that from your doctor (or a birth control clinic in your city, which you can find by googling). You’ll generally be instructed to take the first...

I love @drummax
Me: Oh no, Tru has a big red spot on her face. Tru, you gotta stop rubbing your face on sharp things!

In my experience, the only reason people talk bitterly about others is because...

I'm bored so I'm filling out Gala's style survey
I skimp when buying:
A lot of stuff… “Fast fashion” & Value Village are the best options for my budget!
I am the worst about buying cheap underwear though. Like, currently I’m wearing a pair of pink polka-dotted hipster panties that I bought for something like $2 at Honest Ed’s. (They are cute, though.)
I splurge when buying:
Boots. I have four pairs of Dr....

recommendations: albums
Naturally, it’s pretty much impossible for me to give an overview of every album that I recommend. When talking to people one-on-one about music, it’s easier to suss out what kind of thing they might enjoy & then give them a recommendation based on that. This is much trickier on the internet with a generalized audience, naturally. However, here are some albums that I LOVE &...
Dear men,
Stop saying inappropriate things to women on the street. We do not enjoy it & it will get you nowhere.
Do you really think you’re being charming when you make lewd comments about our legs & tits & ass? Do you really think we’re swooning onto the ground because you’ve articulated your impure thoughts about our bodies? Do you really think you’re making us feel...

If you were me & had my wardrobe, what would you wear?

things to try this week
1. Put some money in a place you don’t look too often, so you’ll delight yourself when you discover it later. (I sometimes leave a $10 bill in the back pocket of my Moleskine & usually totally forget it exists until I finish the notebook, at which point it’s like a reward for writing so much!)
2. Incorporate lingerie & swimsuits into your everyday attire.
3. Purchase...
