Do we really need this torture?
We didn't start out as friends. In fact, we barely said two civil words to each other for months after we first met. I'm not sure when or why that changed, but change it did; a complete 180. We were an unlikely pair; I was young and angry and outspoken. I was dealing with... Continue Reading →
Good evening, internet! Today is Friday, and d'you know what that means? ...I'm sorry I asked that question; I actually don't care about your answers, because they're all going to be wrong. Let me just tell you. It means that this crappy week is coming to an end. When shit hits the fan, it really... Continue Reading →
This is the Finest Nerd Czarina, and I hate the news. Today, I specifically hate reality tv stars who body shame women. I had forgotten about Jeff Lewis. Way back when I had cable television, I used to watch all sorts of garbage television, including whatever show he happened to star in awhile ago. I... Continue Reading →
Today on Music Video Monday, "Older" by They Might Be Giants. I apologize* for the back-to-back TMBG, but I have to acknowledge my best friend's birthday, which was yesterday. Even though this is a "baby boomer anthem" and he is a millennial, it still works. Because he's an old, old soul. Love you, brotato! Everyone... Continue Reading →
This is the Finest Nerd Czarina, and I hate the news. Today, the current Press Secretary's immature reaction to being asked to leave a restaurant is grinding my gears. Last night, a Red Hen staff person posted on their Facebook (screencaps here) about how they were serving Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders for all of... Continue Reading →

Have you heard the story of the man who murdered his neighbor one night, citing "gay panic" as his defense? The murder happened back in 2015, when the two were... Continue Reading →
This is the Finest Nerd Czarina, and I hate the news. I’d like to say, today, that I'm glad roughly half of the working adults in my country are “okay” with my existence ...but only 55% glad. It must be nice to belong to a group of people who are 100% accepted, no questions asked; it's... Continue Reading →
Let's say I purposefully started a fire in my apartment complex and waited until a couple of units went up. But then, I decided to grab the nearest fire extinguisher and start hosing down the flames. I don't have any intention of repairing any damage or taking responsibility for having started the problem in the... Continue Reading →
This is the Finest Nerd Czarina, and I hate the news. If you’ve been living under a rock lately - stay there! Don’t emerge! It isn’t worth it, I promise! The rest of us have been overwhelmingly horrified at learning of reports that children are being forcibly removed from their parents’ care and detained separately... Continue Reading →
