Martha prompts us to discuss a given topic and plumb its depths until we’re driven bored and then mad and then we up and slaughter it and burn the ashes before nuking it from orbit so that we may never speak of it again!

Let’s Talk: Touch and Toxic Masculinity

January 28, 2019January 31, 2020 Lilburne

When was the last time someone touched you in an affectionate way? If you’re a man, the answer could be days or even weeks ago. And it probably wasn’t a friend who touched you, but a lover or romantic partner. … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Touch and Toxic Masculinity

Let’s Talk: Things That Bring You Joy

September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 Jimy Coma

Let’s Talk: Being Serious

August 2, 2018August 2, 2018 Jimy Coma

We like to joke on The Avocado. We can’t really help it as we learned to dispense snark like a faulty ATM dropping dolla dolla bills y’all. See. Jokes. We got ’em. It can often be hard for us to … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Being Serious

Let’s Talk: Ignorant/Bigoted Assumptions You Used to Have

July 26, 2018July 26, 2018 MrsLangdonAlger

It’s impossible to live in the world we live in, a society that is inherently racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, etc, without internalizing some bigotry. Even the most “woke” person will have had to overcome those internal assumptions and bigotries. … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Ignorant/Bigoted Assumptions You Used to Have

Let’s Talk: Breaking the Habit

May 31, 2018May 31, 2018 Jimy Coma

Biting your nails. Biting a stranger’s nails. Chewing your hair. Popping gum. Popping zits. Fondling batteries. Picking noses. Scratching your butt in public. Reckless coke binges. These are examples of bad habits. We all have them, some more debilitating than … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Breaking the Habit

Let’s Talk: Crushes

May 17, 2018May 16, 2018 Jimy Coma

Spring has arrived, and with the rise in temperatures, there’s the rise in lusting for another person’s… company. Yes. Their company, nothing else! Nothing gross or filthy at all. Perfectly innocent. With that in mind, today’s topic is Crushes. Let’s … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Crushes

Let’s Talk: Travel

May 11, 2018May 10, 2018 Jimy Coma

A noble shout-out to Wafflicious for the topic idea. I hate using the phrase “It’s that time of year,” especially when that could refer to any time of year – it’s a specific kind of phrase that has such vague … Continue reading Let’s Talk: Travel
