OPEN POST: Daughter Dollar Bill, Y'all

I know all you parents out there are currently coming to terms with the fact that Christmas is now just 79 days away (sorrryyy), but I'm gonna need you to focus and redirect your anxiety on to some bullshit you need to be worrying about RIGHT NOW (you childfree hors, however, can take a moment out of your infinite free time to celebrate with some beefy rando on your pile of disposable income).

Loosen the purse strings and sign up for that overdraft protection, folks, for today is "National Transfer Money to Your Daughter Day!" It was founded by Zelle in 2017 as a "tongue-in-cheek way to get parents to send money to their daughters" - as if kids weren't already asking for money for literally everything already.  However, 2017 was in the before times™, you know, before grocery chain CEOs openly bragged about being "very comfortable with our ability to pass on price increases" (to consumers) - and before certain pee-pee-headed Lex Luthors started taking afternoon trips to space on pee-pee-shaped rocket ships while their employees were literally pee-peeing in powerade bottles on the clock. So basically what I'm saying is, who do we need to have a word with about postponing this shit until we're finished eating the rich? Because if it makes a difference, we can give all our daughters first dibs!

Oh, and yes, that sound you just heard was Candy Spelling I-don't-knowing-her pedal to the metal past a certain $100-a-night motel.

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
