Australia, Make Same-Sex Marriage Legal Now

Here in Australia, we fancy ourselves as pretty progressive. We think of ourselves as 'the lucky country.' We pat ourselves on the back because we don't make women cover themselves when in public. We shake our heads at the way America just can't get its act together on gun control. We tell ourselves we're a […]

The Little Daily: Over-Sext

There are only three kinds of photos I send to Bren's phone. The first is of the kids. Naturally. They're face-punch cute and he totally agrees that they are. The other two are demonstrated above.  And normally, I send them one after the other. One says, "Hey baby, I'm hot and you could get lucky […]
