Hi pals! I tried to char romaine for dinner last night and it did not work. It ended up kind of…wilted, instead. Tell me, chef friends! What’s the secret?
This week, the team bared their hearts for a V-day roundtable on love.
Alyssa wants to draw you and your bod! (I’ve never had better eyebrows.)
Over on Jane the Virgin, Rosario Dawson happened!
Into period sex, or curious about it? Carolyn’s got you covered.
This is a really important, personal essay on adoption and motherhood, and it’s also FULL OF ADORABLE PHOTOS OF KAELYN’S VERY OWN REMI, who’s already 16 months old!
This gave me so many feelings: You Need Help: Is It Normal To Feel Sexy When You Gain Weight? (Yes)

Where in these awards is Carmen Sandiego? Nah, I’m just kidding. She’s probably got twice (or maybe even three times…four times?) the awards that I have.
Spotted her.
*present*
I hope you two get to duke it out in person at A-Camp one day.
PS. I only wrote that comment instead of finding the picture because of my dismal history with mis-typing the very simple image instructions XP
“In my Tesla on my way to Mars” might just be my new favorite way to say “out of this world,” so THANK YOU FOR THAT
“The Valentine’s Kishes Award” applause
THANK YOU CARMS <3 <3 <3
Thank you for reminding me of that roundtable. I’m going to wait until I have a cup of tea, a spare hour and a hankie ready.
I need to be prepared.
Thank you, this comment award is giving me a lot of feelings.
Many years ago, I was literally sitting in a circle in group therapy and asked how one knew that they were in love. Now I got an award for the answer. Who‘d have guessed?;-)
However, what I would have posted, had my internet connection been better, is this:

(The live rendition was absolutely heart rending, desperate and emotional)
It’s A‘s Monologue, from Sarah Kane‘s Crave. A piece of modern theater, where the characters just stand around on stage, nameless, and give auditory impressions and monologues, with sound effects.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but my gf at the time, or rather, non-gf at that particular time (we had a „Strangers“ thing going on there, a little bit, for a while, whatever) did like that kind of stuff, and so we went.
While sitting there in the semi darkness with the lights flashing and sudden,absolute stillness, this monologue came on, and I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of hot water over me.
I felt every word. And I felt it for the person next to me, who I hoped would not turn around and see my flushed face.
1. Kristen Kish is my #1 crush
2. Brandi Carlile’s new album is out and it is amazing!!!
THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS AND KRISTEN KISH IS SUCH A GOOD CRUSH
still can’t get over Jayne’s Beard (!!)
Two comment awards in one week! Yay me!
I heard a Canadian listing famous Canadians and she did not name Ellen Page.
So I told this story to my girlfriend and concluded, “So, clearly she’s heterosexual.”
And my girlfriend replied, “Who’s Ellen Page?” and now I am questioning everything.
