I wanted to say something funny about your selfie, but your face beat me to it.

I've got a plan. I'm not saying it's a good one. I'm not saying it will even work. But it sure beats sacrificing a virgin.

There's no reason to tell someone who's grieving to "be grateful". They can name a plethora of things that they are grateful for. Gratitude does not take away grief. Instead, the two will find a way to coexist with one another. So we support our friends by giving them a safe space to work that out.

I tried acting completely crazy today to see how people would react… Nobody noticed.

Yeah, it's depressing to hear stories about looters, arsonists, and those politicizing the fires.

There are also stories about people donating to recovery efforts, opening their homes to strangers, businesses & communities banding together.

Don't let the evildoers dampen your faith in humanity.

Ben: I will never admit defeat.

Friend: But you were defeated.

If you're afraid that there's someone or something out there that can somehow turn you gay... Congratulations! You're already gay.

I'm an unrated adult. That's right, I'm unadulterated! Maybe it's because I'm barely into my adultery.

Maybe God HAS answered your prayer. Maybe the answer is "LOL!"

It's official. I've deactivated my Twitter account.

I don't talk about God much. And the reason is, he doesn't talk about me.

When Evangelicals say to me, "Love the sinner, hate the sin..." I respond, "Love the believer, hate the belief." It's ironic how offended they get when I say that.

I hate it when people say to me, "It's not personal. It's just business." Cause it IS personal. I'm a person. That you can think that what you're doing to me isn't "personal" suggests you don't see me as a person, but just a commodity—a means to your own ends. In other words, it's personal.

Some things in life just can't be taught. Like geometry.
