Actor Turned Live Science Performer. Jersey Girl. Philly Phan. Mama. Nerd. Fuck N*zis and Turnip.
Grew up close enough to the Pine Barrens that they scare the shit out of me.

For MULTIPLE reasons.

My husband has never owned a pet.

He prefers cats (no one is perfect), but has expressed interest in a Husky.

Me, who would possibly surrender teeth to own a dog:

NO.

I had a Scottie as a kid.

Absolute destroyer of toys.

Absolutely would bounce right off solid oak cabinets with nary a thought in his smooth, tiny little brain.

I still miss him.

I have yet to find the depth of my surprise at how very stupid they are.

I knew they weren't exactly swimming in intellect, but...

They are so profoundly unaware, even of how bad they are at getting what they want. It's astounding.

My first trimester of my full-term pregnancy?

I spent most of it curled in a ball on my couch, sucking on a ginger chew, sleeping, or choking down a bagel. (I could barely eat anything that wasn't a bagel.) I was very lucky it was early 2021 and I was still out of work due to COVID.

Every time some idiot says this, I remind them that she won a Grand Slam Tournament *while in her first trimester of pregnancy*.

The average pregnant person spends their first trimester of pregnancy physically miserable and barely able to function at a "office worker" level.

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness.

You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.

As they said, he really SHOULD be in the judicial system.

He's not, he won't be...

This is an imperfect social solution and I'll take it, thank you VERY much.

Loving football but hating boxing is one of those weird divides in our society and I live it (go Birds), but, yeah...

Jake Paul getting his ass kicked is actually a good thing.

Yeah, I have a wee bit too much rage that can't be contained.

But I try the Quaker way, first.

...Some people haven't proverbially moved.

Because the only thing gaining weight is the baby...

Basic human anatomy needs to be taught.

I spent 13 years at Quaker school. (The same one my father also attended for ... 6? years)

I am not Quaker, but ... yeah, a lot of this is just how I think and operate.

(One particular character, my now husband had to walk my mother, himself, and me clear across lower Manhattan so I could regain some semblance of emotional control and not bite my mother's head off. I was so off balance, I didn't realize he was doing it on purpose until days later.)

I truly love this story.

And as someone who has a degree in theatre...

Method is just fucking bullshit.

It's just so much bullshit.

You do NOT want to live in a character. I have had characters that hit too close to home in a painful way and NO THANK YOU. SOBBING after performances.

Nominations are NOT courts. Nobody’s innocent until proved. At best, they’re job interviews, but they’re interviews with a candidate sent by an undeniably malicious and incompetent headhunting service with an unfortunately exclusive contract. So the nominee needs to be assumed to be hostile.

I remember being in Cambridge, walking around a neighborhood (we'd been punting the Cam), and I saw a brand new Jaguar.

I thought it was sooooooo pretty.

And then it fucking died at the stop sign.

Ok, but the Spitfire is a wonderful little car, if you want your 10-year-old to be able to push it when it stalls out.

Between having English cousins, having spent time studying there (as a theatre student, no less), and a fondness for English history...

I *dearly* love disconcerting random English folk by making a decent stab at where they are from based on accent. Or at least, asking.

I remember putting the volume on 1 or so, and then I could just claim it was turned down for Story Time or something and it was too busy to put back up and ...

Also, my child has been taught Feliz Navidad.

My child is ADORABLE.

He sings it constantly.

Help.
