"When men imagine a female uprising, they imagine a world in which women rule men as men have ruled women. Most men can’t really imagine equality. All they can imagine is having the existing power structure inverted."
― Sally Kempton
"What’s your greatest struggle right now?"
"I’m trying to work with a broken elbow. I do wrestling on the weekends, and during my last match I got thrown out of the ring by The Latin Lover— who’s actually my best friend. But he’s 6’2" and 290 lbs. I’m just a buck twenty five. He lifted me over his head and threw me clear over the ropes and I didn’t land very well. But even with a broken elbow, I got back into the ring and executed my finish move— I held onto his head and did a back flip off the ropes. But at the last moment he caught me and put me into a tombstone piledriver. But I got him back when the match was over, because I pretended to shake his hand, and my partner jumped him from behind. I do that kind of tricky stuff. Because I’m a bad guy."
"What’s your wrestling name?"
"The Superstar of All Superstars."
I just gave my 2-and-a-half months notice. Really jumping off the cliff for this comedy club thing.
"Never ask permission to do what it is you want to do. Just make the stuff that you think is the best you can do, and hope that it resonates with people. And when they come back and ask you to do something, say yes."

I’ve been working on a poem called “My Brain Is So Stupid,” but I haven’t finished it because my butt is so lazy.
