My user name is the title of a book by my favourite author, Jonathan Carroll. He's highly underrated but also a cult favourite. I couldn't pick between his books.

Another favourite book is an old humour novel by the writer Patrick Dennis, whose most well known book was Auntie Mame. However the best of his books IMO was The Joyous Season, it was written in the 1950s and so some of the language in his books is a bit antique (like using Negro as a descriptor), but honestly there's not a funnier book in my opinion, I reread it last month, and I realized that I still routinely say lines from it in my daily life.

Finally a great book is The Speed Queen by Stewart O'Nan, it's dark and a tough topic to read about but it's so captivating. All of his books are really worth reading. Last Night At The Lobster, Snow Angels, Ocean State, Wish You Were Here, Songs For The Missing, Evensong, The Names Of The Dead, The Good Wife, The Odds, Emily Alone, are my particular favorites, all pretty gritty.

Just please don't bring back the metal seatbelt that branded you in the summer months.

Can Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists count?

I follow this Mormon mommy blogger, for years now, simply for the hell of it, and the family normally vote for Republicans, but they held their nose and voted for the Democrats the last three elections simply because of Trump. It would not surprise me if several Mormons did that, he's kind of extreme for a lot of them.

I'm a PhD but how can I help?.

No idea, but whenever I drive by the Kelsey's near me on a weekend night it's packed. I really don't get why anyone would eat there. It's not any cheaper than independent restaurants.

You are miles ahead of them on spelling.

So I've had a fake white supremacist Facebook alt for years. I use it mostly to befriend them and report the racist shit they post and get their accounts deleted. I was hugely successful at doing so for a long time, but since the latest political climate in the US Facebook has decided they're absolutely fine with all of this and won't remove anything at all.

However I still hold onto it because sometimes I give information to journalists who cover white supremacists, and sometimes I get enough information on the person to tell their workplace, etc. Basically I just use it to collect information.

Anyway oftentimes some of the men try to hit on my (female) alt, so I end up delicately fending them off sometimes in messenger. Thankfully that's something I'm good at, but let me tell you the conversation is not scintillating with Nazis. Even these young Patriot Front guys are dumber than bricks, even though many have higher education of some sort. Several men have messaged me from contraband phones in prison, and several have been military members.

There is nothing funnier than a member of the Klan trying to sext though. I've had conversations with people with acquired brain injuries that were far more intelligent.

Health care workers: we ride at dawn bitches!

A guy came into the clinic I work in wearing a spray paint respirator mask with a beekeeper's veil overtop, and with dishwashing gloves that he had pulled ordinary latex gloves over. It was wild.

I was considered an essential worker, and so I toddled off to work every day as usual. I remember while my spouse was driving me in how eerie it seemed with how quiet the city was, and seeing 68 cents per liter gasoline prices was such a shock. The quiet was what really got to me.

My friend had brain surgery for an aneurysm, and every so often she fumbles a word as a result. One day she wanted to say the word lumberjacks, but her brain came up with logfarmers instead.

All my drawers broke too, as well as the jazz board, twice. Pieces of shit.

I had to have my jazz board replaced twice on a very expensive Amana fridge. I don't know the answer.

Ugh all appliances are such crap now. I want an old vacuum that lasts a lifetime from the 80s. They were much better.

All the plastic shelves they all have now break anyway, as well as the shitty plastic drawers. The drawers on mine all broke, and the jazz board died twice. Waste of money. I'd rather buy an old one on Marketplace.

It's really unfortunate.

Oh gosh I didn't even know that.

His son. He dangled him when he was holding him on a balcony over the heads of fans. I don't know why.

Understood. The TV show was totally hilarious.
