Advertisers are starting to pull out. The campaign is working. Here's why I started it.
#fbrape
weight
I’m not allowed to utter the words “run” or “exercise" without eliciting an intervention. Can I preserve my heart, please?
dogs
Doggie racism sounds ridiculous but it's a real thing.
saving money
Instead of just feeling sorry for myself, I started clawing my way out of being really broke, and it had a weird side effect: I developed that whole ‘confidence’ thing that people talk about.
the frisky
You cannot change the way people think in one sitting, but you can make sure they know that they’re wrong.
comedy
Internet bro thinks he's a comedian, says something dumb, gets indignant when people react to it. Then Patton Oswalt, a comedian I adore, respect, and procured my first fake ID to see perform, retweeted him.
food
Sometimes I buy food to just HAVE it, in the house, and to know it’s there, and that I'm prepared in a food-based emergency. A bit like responsible people who keep a fire extinguisher under the sink. Just in case.
comedians
I’m on stage. But on this particular night, about five minutes into my set, a table of 10 dudes starting chanting:
“Show us your tits! Show us your tits! Show us your tits!”
jose canseco
Holy crap.
body acceptance
My body will never run marathons or win beauty pageants, and it might always be sick, but do you know what it does every day, quite effectively? It lives. I live.

homeless
Instead of allowing life to happen to me, instead of sitting by powerlessly as things took a turn for the worst, I took the reigns and faced misfortune head on.
ex boyfriends
Sometimes when you’re feeling a little lost, a little self-destructive and in dire need of a clean slate, you kind of just need to sleep with your ex boyfriend.
politics
While I'm sure your political commentary is indeed incisive and cutting and generally luminous, maybe hold that brilliant analysis back for a day or two. One thing at a time.
learnvest
It’s a solid middle class salary, untaxed, and it’s contingent on nothing. I don’t have to work for it, nor can anyone take it away from me if I behave badly. I did nothing to earn it.
uhaul
As of today, May 15th, we've been on the road for over 2 months. We've covered over 6,000 miles. From June through October, we'll be traveling though the southern and eastern half of the US, giving away pie twice per week.
bad dreams
Weird/bad dreams make you feel weird/bad. So you act weird/bad, too. But now science has your back.
dating websites
Was it something I said? Was it my resume? My race?
disability
The ADA prevents anyone from directly questioning me about it. But I always choose to. Let me tell you why.
teen angst
The other night I decided to take a trip down memory lane with my old Xanga and MySpace accounts. Before I knew it, I was sucked into the black hole of my teenage angst.
kaitlyn hunt
The nightmare began in February when the cops came to arrest my daughter, who had just turned 18, and took her away without telling us what was happening.
the frisky
The very fact this question occurs to me is a sign of just how skewed the thinking is on mental illness in this country: my mind is framing it, even if unintentionally, as a personal weakness
fat
Why do we allow a number to hold so much power over our self-perception?
