@calebsaysthings Stuff like that right there is why I and so many women quit improv. I'll take standup any day over an art form where I'm expected to "yes and" guys endowing me as a dumb cunt or a slut or being unnecessarily physical with me onstage time and time again.

I hate roast comedy + prank comedyโ€”jokes that are rooted in cruelty. I dig silly, playful comedy where the comedian pulls the audience into a shared joke, builds a bridge, where comedian mocks her/himself, if anyone. The world is harsh enoughโ€”gimme silly, playful comedy.

As many people head back to hometowns, see extended family for Thanksgiving, a friendly reminder that you don't owe anyone an update or a story if it's upsetting to retell and revisit. It's OK to say, "I don't feel like talking about it" and move on. Boundaries, baby!

Meghan Markle isn't the Yoko Ono of the Royal Family because Yoko Ono didn't split up the Beatles. Grown men decided they were sick of working together after 13+ years and their shitbird fans needed to blame it on a woman, so Yoko Ono took the heat.

12 years ago yesterday was the night I was mugged on Newbury Street in Boston. I was in heels + I chased the guy down, ran alongside him, punched him in the chest + knocked him off his bike, jumped over the fallen bike + got my purse back. That night feels like my origin story.
