thealbinorino2 asked: When did you know you truly wanted to become a comedian?
lucidwalls asked: Hey Kate, I discovered you and your a blog a little while back now, and absolutely fell in love (I tweeted you about it, you probably lost it in your millions of fangirl's tweets) the thing is, I need help, I feel a little lost and stuck, as if I'm going through life as everyone else wants me to and I want to do something different but I'm scared, can you help?

Patriots' Day
I am devastated today. I am a born and raised Massachusetts native, and grew up outside Boston. I am grieving for my city today, as we all are. But I feel hope today, too.
Patriots’ Day is a special day in Boston. It’s the day I’m always most homesick for my hometown. It’s a state holiday - schools are closed and banks close early. There is no mail delivery. This is so...

On Seeing Lena Dunham Naked
When I was 10 years old, some moms in my fifth grade class organized an end of the year pool party for our entire grade. It was one of the first times I can recall being sent into a tailspin of anxiety for weeks, because it meant I had to wear a bathing suit in front of my classmates. After many sleepless nights agonizing and envisioning endless mocking and scrutiny, I opted for a giant t-shirt...
