I have a meeting with my representative in congress in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to make him say to my face that he doesn’t give a shit if I have access to medical coverage.

Those comments actually hit home with me. How can I expect men to be my ally when I’m not a good ally myself? I got in contact with the BLM leader in my area. We had a long conversation about it, and I’m attending two of their events next week.

Thanks for your insight! They do have a female realtor friend who they say won’t show homes alone anymore because they are so many weirdos out there. It’s a bit different for me though because I screen these people thoroughly before I ever go to their house. But I didn’t want to argue the point.

Lol. You’ll have to pry her out the hands of her new owners! Omg though, when I’ve been telling people that she’s already been adopted, I’ve been getting seriously rude facebook messages and texts about it. People really don’t like it when they get turned down for a dog they wanted. I wish they would spread the love…

I’m so so sorry. There are no words.

Thank you! We have a healthy attachment so while I’ll be sad I’m mostly happy she’s going to a good home. The last dog I had was really tough though. I managed to not cry when I dropped him off, but as soon as I left their house I started bawling. I still feel a stab of grief every time I think about it (even though…

If he’s had it before, that probably means they screen him pretty frequently? So hopefully it’s in its early stages and can be treated again? I hope so anyway. I’m sorry your and your dad are having to go through this.

Hi, me. I’ve been in your place so many times. I haven’t even had to the nerve to go to the meetup events that interested me.

This is my beautiful foster dog, Foxy. I’m taking her to her forever home tomorrow!

I had a weird encounter with benevolent sexism/paternalism today. A couple of months ago I started fostering and volunteering for a dog rescue. The couple that runs it are really amazing people. They’re an older gay couple (in their early 60's?) and we hit it off on a personal level so much that one of them calls me…

Oh no! All of that sounded terrible, but the end really made me mad! I can’t believe she made it look like you didn’t do anything for the boys at christmas! That’s so shitty.

My BIL is the same way! Not so much with his christmas list, but he doesn’t do ANYTHING at the holidays. We were just at their house for thanksgiving, and he thought he was being magnanimous by saying “thank you” when I was cooking the food, bringing him drinks, cleaning up the kitchen, cleaning out their freaking…

I wish my friends liked board games! I always ask for them but no one buys them for me because they think they’re lame.

Totally! I’ll spend quite a bit of time and money when you include each member of the family. And then getting some little afterthought gift because I’m single sucks. I also find it irritating that the men in the family don’t have to deal with the stress of it. They don’t bother making lists to help us out even though…

Yes, the locker room scene.

This would have been part of my practice but I failed the hypnosis portion of the bar exam.

It’s weird how people are critical of this. Like if he had said there was an over 50% chance of Trump winning he would have been “right,” but because it was lower he’s wrong. That’s not how probabilities work.

Yeah, I got the impression that Noah didn’t quite grasp what Silver’s job actually is, and he immediately went on the attack with this fake outrage. It was so absurd I turned it off.

That’s ok. She’s a great mom, but with your only knowledge of her being her insane decision to vote against her own (and just about everyone else’s) interests, I’m forced to conclude that your hatred is rational.

Well, yeah, probably tomorrow. We’re pretty good at not talking about politics.
