Ooh, I liked When Our Kids Run America, though I’m not sure I agree with him 100%.
Can’t wait to read the Scientology articles! Why is Scientology so endlessly fascinating?

Yes, please! Me and my sister are not the same person, and neither are Tegan and Sara.

I haven’t seen Buffy since I first watched it in high school, and all I really remember about it is loving it. I may have to watch it again…

YES, Battlestar Galactica is THE BEST!

YES

Ugh, Kate McKinnon is adorable.

How do you cook with yuba? I’m intrigued!

Edamame! I grew up surrounded by soy fields, so I like to think of edamame as a local specialty, even though I’m pretty sure most of our edamame came from frozen bags from the supermarket… Either way, delicious!

I think that it’s totally fine if you want to acknowledge that an embryo does have some special significance for you–I just don’t think that we should be making strategic/ political decisions based on such an […]

Now I’m just wondering if I could pull off Chloe Howl’s haircut. Adorable!

A lot of this reminds me of my hometown in the midwestern prairie–especially when you talk about the big sky and the summer storms. It is beautiful there.

Ah, OK. In that case I see your point, though I’m not sure I see that image as treating abortion like a joke.
