bubblegumandblood:
youmightfindyourself:
Work on one thing at a time until finished.
Start no more new books, add no more new material to “Black Spring.”
Don’t be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
Work according to Program and not according to mood. Stop at the appointed time!
When you can’t create you can work.
Cement a little every day, rather than add...

A Real Talk I Had With My Mom About TV
My mom: Wait, so *when* is Mad Men going to be back?
Me: March 25th.
My mom: Seriously? How will I even remember this?
Me: Well odds are I'll call you a few times throughout the week to tell you to set you DVR.
My mom: So the only thing keeping me from Mad Men is basically the end of the civilization -- the death of TV, DVRs, Internet and phones?
Me: Pretty much, though I *am* having a Mad Men-party... if you need to, you are welcome to attend.
My mom: Oh. My God. Fuck these people. How long have I waited? How long am I supposed to wait for this show?
Me: If it makes you feel better, the show has future legs because of some negotiation...
My mom: I DON'T CARE. I NEED MY STORIES.
Me: So I called to tell you how I steam-cleaned my whole house and you actually just spent minutes complaining about how you miss Mad Men? Did you know we were doing a Freaky Friday switch? Because no one told me...
My mom: 2012.

A Real Conversation About Politics With My Mom
Me: Look, he's not perfect, but what the hell else are we going to do? Plus he's done some rad stuff, even if he's not enforcing the Clean Air Act.
My mom: Yeah, like that bill he signed into law protecting the corporations. I'm so glad someone is protecting the corporations. They need it, they really do.
Me: Mom, corporations are people too.
My mom: Oh right. So who are people now?
Me: Corporations, anything created at conception, possibly cars... basically everything that isn't a woman.
My mom: Do you think we'll still get to vote in fall?
Me: I honestly don't know.

Woman in Comedy: A really scary thing happened to...
gabydunn:
Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was...

chronically-awesome:
I can’t count how many times I’ve had incredibly uncomfortable run-ins with overly aggressive guys who felt they were entitled to harass me while I was going about my daily business just because I am a woman.
That feeling of anxiety and fear while trying to maintain a calm exterior and not “make a scene” is total fucking bullshit, and I’m just not going to do it anymore....

A Birthday Conversation With My Mom
Me: Happy Birthday! What did you do?
My mom: I got a birthday cake at the Bottle Barn.
Me: They don't sell cakes at the Bottle Barn.
My mom: Case. I bought a birthday case. Mostly Pinot Noirs.
Me: I like that idea. I like it a lot.
My mom: That's because it's a great idea.

A Really Disgusting Way We Can Stop HR 1179 →
Since many women take birth control pills to regulate their menstrual cycles, I propose women detail EXPLICITLY what happens when we have horrifying cramps to each and every member of Congress (and supporting PACs) that support this bill until they reverse their position. And that we do it every. single. month. (I don’t know about you, but when I’m incapacitated for 3+ days, letter writing seems...

Doggie Dash 2012: →
I’m doing my first charity walk. Why? Because I’m a white person who lives in Portland and this is the kind of crap we do — or so I have read.
Obviously, it’s for the puppies. Donate if you want… or not. I hate soliciting, so this is the only time I’m posting it on Tumblr. But it’s tax-deductible and it really will help the Oregon Humane Society, which is...
