“I grew up not knowing what the big deal was about gay people, not being scared...”
– MD - on the need to nurture
There was a lot about this post I identified strongly with (because I am also a 26 year old mess of hormones) but this was the most resonant. I grew up knowing the difference between Cambodian and Laotian people, eating Senegalese food, having to explain to other kids...

Chronicle copyediting by Philip Oliver Hole, photo... →
I’m sure they’ve since edited it because it was reposted so many times around the snickering, bratty kids interwebs, but the Chron originally published the photo with the caption “Oliver Clothezoff, visiting from New York…” which was fucking great.

This goes out to my right ankle. I’ve only...
food i always have.
Berries. On those weeknights when I (purposefully) have nothing to do but run in the Panhandle, do a load of laundry, and climb in bed at 9:30, I stop at the Haight Street Market (the best little grocery store in the city by leaps and bounds) on my way home and pick up whatever berries they have on super sale (raspberries, blueberries and/or blackberries depending on the season) and have a...

Growing up an internet oversharer: vote for... →
This is a really interesting idea for me, and for many of the women I know who were born in the late 70’s/early 80’s and discovered the internet in adolescence, as a means of self-expression, utility, and ultimately social networking. The idea of the online diary is pervasive even in web 2.0 formats with ostensibly other purposes (ie. yelp, flickr) and I would be very interested in...
