1. Matt left a sock behind, and now Sansa finds it wherever we hide it and chews on it mournfully, awaiting his return.

  2. This week I finally met Brilliant Novelist and Friend of The Toast Celeste Ng! We met and hugged and had a long lunch and talked about everything and she signed my copy of her book and I somehow managed to behave like a nice, regular person and not an overly emotional fangirl. And then I got an ice cream sundae! Truly, I am living all my dreams.

  6. The following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Lecturer in Ordinary at that place. Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter.

    Man loves the truth, wants to talk about it with dudes who can't be in Wittenberg at the time. Got it. Solid.

  8. Here are three biopics you should know if you don't already, all centering women who accomplished extraordinary things and were overlooked in favor of their male contemporaries. These movies were either made on a small budget and received relatively little media attention, or were, for various reasons, barred from wide distribution in the U.S. All will inspire you to reflect on the lives of women we know too little about.

  11. You are over 75 and you hate every person you’ve ever met, or else you’re 14 and you’ve just seen something horrible.

    Your martyrdom doesn’t go as planned.

    At least one of your front teeth is missing, and you think you look marvelous.

    Something dreadful happened at the rest stop.

  12. The O.C. was a television show about four young lesbians loving and living in Newport Beach. Also Sandy Cohen. Allow me to defend my position.
