    JVL, I will be forever grateful to you for this piece, because it introduced me to Sarah Sentilles, who is the most delightful progressive writer I’ve come across in a long time.

    This post of hers is so amazing:

    Actual quote:
    “I love you, top of my head. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

    Sarah Sentilles is not Portlandia made flesh, but the triumph of Portlandia over flesh.
