Dear Performatively Evangelical Internet, Please kindly… fuck off. Seriously. -Love, Mav Ok, now that that’s out the way… I’m guessing most people don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. Ok. So earlier today the memorial service for Aretha Franklin, undisputed Queen of Soul, was held. This was a big enough deal that CNN cut…
As has been the standard for my summer of adjunct online teaching I’ve basically spent every waking moment this weekend grading papers. Wheee!!! So it’s possible that there’s been some erosion of my already tentative grasp on sanity. You know… it’s possible. So anyway, I was taking a break from grading to eat lunch with…
So my cousin, Denna reshared this meme on Facebook last night and it’s been weighing on my mind ever since. It features pictures of Halle Berry, Janet Jaclson, J-Lo and Kim Kardashian in lingerie with captions showing that each has been married three times and then a picture of David and Tamela Mann posing in their…
A few weeks back, a friend of mine posted a link to a link to a youtube video that was a clip from one of my favorite TV shows in recent time. In fact it may be my favorite moment of that series. It is a clip from the first episode of Aaron Sorkin’s newsroom, wherein…
And so the Pope just announced that evolution totally exists and that God isn’t magic… Yep… ok, I understand what’s going on now… The whole pope all an elaborate practical joke. I know you think I’m full of shit, but I’ve done extensive research for more than five solid minutes just now (enough to write a freshman…
I was working on my computer when I heard line ring in the other room. I yelled for Steph to pick it up, since usually the landline is her mother calling. But Steph looked at the CallerID and said “yeah, I’m not getting that.” I ran in to double check. The Call is from 1-800-000-0000…
No matter what else happens before midnight, this is easily the best thing on the Internet today. No, this isn’t a Science Ninja Action Team Cosmic Hellcats spinoff, but it should be. Two armed “polygamist women” dressed like “ninjas” were subdued by a sword-wielding man during a home invasion, according to police in suburban Utah.…
(apologies to the Beastie Boys) Seriously, do people who have dumb rules even hear themselves when they’re talking? I mean, I say horrible, inflammatory stuff all the time. I wear T-shirts with slogans on it. But I know I’m doing it. So according to the internets (which you know, never lie and stuff), there is this…
Heh, this is pretty great… Maybe the best #FreeTheNipple story I’ve heard. If you’re too lazy to read the link (which is mostly a video), basically: there’s a church (New Beginnings Ministry) in Warsaw, OH that is apparently down the street from a Strip Club (Foxhole North). Chruchgoers have been protesting in front of the…
You know, if you want to be a biblical literalist, sure fine… go on. I mean, not for me, but yeah. But this just takes a special kind of crazy. So creationist Ken Ham recently penned a column where he explains that space exploration is useless, not because there is obviously not life on other…
Adam & Eve? (Photo credit: sea turtle) I think I want to write a novel where Adam and Eve have a bisexual lover named Steve who was smart enough to not eat the magic apple and so got to go on living in Eden. Now, 6014 years later, he gets bored…
you know the Abraham and Isaac story always kinda bothered me too. Stephanie just told me the same. Some of these I didn’t even know and I know a lot of good obscure Bible stories. I need to research more of these when I get the time. OT God was straight up gangsta sometimes. God’s…
