Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie stands alone in my rarely especially humble opinion as a sophomore album. Partly I suspect because it isn’t really a sophomore album. Ms. Morissette is best known for her kinda grunge era influenced but very professionally produced later career in which it would have been. But if you were paying attention a few years earlier and lived around here you also knew she had an earlier dance pop girl phenomenon stage. (Yeah she’s from here.)
I sometimes think tho sophomore albums say an awful lot about an artist. Do you have staying power when the world is asking for whatever more?
(Anyway. I think it’s good. Great song and album, honestly, however it happened.)
I got to have a bit of fun with an anti-trans bigot today. They were ranting about keeping men out of women's bathrooms, you know, the usual. So I asked them how they planned to check and enforce this rule without unfairly targeting people who don't match some ridiculous invented beauty standard.
Of course their response was basically "If YoU hAvE a PeNiS, you UsE tHe Men's RoOm, SiMpLe."
Here's where I got in what I felt was the best response, I just turned round a said "And how do you propose checking for this penis? Not everyone who has one is considerate enough to wear it on their head like you."
I feel like that would have been a mic drop moment.
This is from WSDOT in WA. Interestingly, the overwhelming response from locals is that the folks that thought it would be fun to ignore the road closed signs should be heavily fined.
"*deep sigh* We need to talk. We’ve seen people cycling and recreating between the closure points on US 2. And, I’m going to be honest, we’re disappointed.
For the past week, we’ve been emphasizing the reality of the conditions around the state, the extent of the damage, and the importance of adhering to ROAD CLOSED signs. Our crews have been working nonstop in miserable weather to stack sandbags, clear debris, assess damage, and make repairs. This is one thing they really shouldn’t have to deal with.
“It’s a closed road,” you might say. “What’s the worst that can happen?”
I mean, look at the pictures. The road is closed because it’s dangerous, not because we love closing roads. If debris slides onto the highway as you ride by, if the earth under the road falls into the river, if you ‘round a bend and slam into a log you didn’t expect… We and our partners WILL come to your aid, but that’s personnel, equipment, and resources being diverted away from the areas that need them most.
All week, thoughtful and generous people have asked what they can do to support our crews. The answer is pretty simple: Do not drive in standing water, and do not go around Road Closed signs - whether you’re in a car, on a bike, on foot, or on a hoverboard.
That’s it. That’s how you can help.
For those eager for US 2 updates: As you’ve likely seen, there’s a lot of debris and damage between MP 50 and 99. On the Skykomish side, our geotechs are still assessing the area and making recommendations for next steps.
In Tumwater Canyon, the river is forecasted to rise once again into the flooding stage and, while we have a general idea of the work needed, that could change this week based on what happens. We are working with a contractor to develop a plan."
Lovin’ the roundup! 😄✌🏻💙🇺🇸
Alanis Morissette—So Pure

Let’s be outspoken
Let’s be ridiculous
Let’s solve the world’s problems

‘Let me explain! No, there is too much. Let me sum up.’
Sorry to be so needy, but any chance of a liveblog of Trump’s speech this evening? Or at least a look at some comments from the sekrit chat cave?
Icky Dementia
More icky dementia
Crooked H…drink!
Russia, Russia, Russia…drink!
No one knows water is really wet
War is coming
Eight wars have been solved
Jesus peace on earth, greatest Jew, it is Trump (King?)
Shout outs to MMA players, nice piece, very large if you know what I mean
More icky dementia
