WHOLE ASS

I was walking behind this Gen Z chick today.  She was wearing a backpack and this white, very short skirt made out of light material.  Now, as a woman, I know empirically that if you walk with a backpack and a skirt, that shit is going to ride up.  The bottom of the backpack kind of pulls at the fabric with each step.  It's super annoying, but just a fact of life.  The patriarchy, amirite?

Anyway, this is exactly what was happening to the young woman in front of me and because of it, she was showing full ass, right there in the intersection.  There might have been some kind of thong up in there, I don't know.  I just kind of instinctively panicked for her and did the whole "psst, sis..." thing.

Now, I don't live under a rock.  I know that the kids these days like wearing shorts that are so, so short they show the ass crease.  And like, hey, if that's your thing kitten, you do you.  But this was much more than that.  It wasn't a teaser.  It was 80% cheek.  

And yet, when I told her she kind of gave me a "yeah, and?" look and all of the sudden I felt like a old Victorian lady clucking my tongue.   Which is weird because again, I think people should generally STFU and not police women's or anyone's clothing.  And if she wants to show full ass or walk around naked, I would not judge.  But in that moment, I genuinely thought I was doing her a favor.

YOU'RE HOT

Last weekend I went to a live Asian comedy show.  Many of the audience members were Hmong and 15-20% of the jokes were in Hmong.  And even though I didn't understand them, I still loved it.  All of the jokes landed really well. The crowd was eating it up, so I was happy to be there.  

Any-hoo, this one comedian was a Cambodian woman from LA.  She started off talking about how she looks like she can park a rig, and even though she's in her mid-forties, she can still catch 29 year old dick. She was also talking about giving massages professionally and tallying up all the 'happy endings' she had to endure.  Then she razzed the rest of us for giving them away for free.  Anyway, I loved her comedy.

After the show, my friend and I went down to the lobby to see the performers.  The Cambodian woman was there and since she was our favorite, we both wanted to get a picture with her.  We did and after we exchanged a few words, she looked me up and down and exclaimed "you're hot."

It made my week.  I just love women supporting one another.  <3

LOLA YOUNG: MESSY

I love this song because the chorus is the conversation I have with myself, in my head, all the time...

'Cause I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean.

You told me, "Get a job," and then ask where the hell I've been.

And I'm too perfect until I open my big mouth.

I want to be me.  Is that not allowed?

And I'm too clever and then I'm too fucking dumb.

You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month.

And I'm too perfect, 'till I show you that I'm not

A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot.

THIS STUPID STORY

Last Friday I was biking home from work.  At an intersection stood a youngish woman with a cardboard sign that read "anything helps."  All I had was a half eaten container of yogurt and container of chocolate covered almonds, so I offered her those. She accepted, and then she was like, "do you have any water?" I didn't, so I decided to bike to a nearby grocery store and buy a bottle of water. 

Now, if you know me, you know I hate bottled water. But there I was, spending $3.75 on this bottle of water. I biked back to her. Going up the hill I hit a bump. The water bottle popped out of the water bottle cage on my bike. I pulled over to go pick it up, but then a big SUV drove over it and popped it. And now all anyone has from that whole experience is this stupid story.  

THIS IS WHAT INSANITY FEELS LIKE

Yesterday I raged, and I mean raged at Pam Bondi on the radio. She was going on about how Maine not complying with the federal government about trans athletes is a violation of Title IX and they care about sex discrimination.  Meanwhile this administration's healthcare policies are literally killing women. 

...And then about 10 minutes later I saw a wild turkey on top of a parked car and I could not stop laughing. I was like, "Oh, so the revolution starting now?!?"
