You sound like a kick-ass mom who is raising a thoughtful, empathetic child. All I have to say is well done and all the best to you both.

Great point. I love it when unilingual speakers can’t even properly speak (or in this case write) the ONLY language they know.

This.

I think America (and I’m not American so take this with a grain of salt) needed to take a page out of the German playbook. They accepted their atrocities. They’ve built monuments to the victims not the perpetrators. They destroyed the Nazi symbols. They didn’t deny it happened or how bad it was, and they’ve done…

The people falling over himself to not call him racist. I will never understand how it became “worse” to call someone racist than to espouse inherently racist views.

I agree. It needs to be taught like the holocaust. We have a pretty solid understanding of the horrors of the Nazis and their final solution. The same needs to happen with slavery. Especially so Republicans can’t try and claim* it wasn’t that bad, and willfully ignorant people like Kanye don’t EVER pretend it was…

I went to a show last night and every so often I would just randomly think of her and her child, and the sheer cruelty.

I’d braced myself.

I read your warnings.

Now I’m thinking of the crows in Dumbo. Are we sure it wasn’t in Disney’s early days?

Right? I was at my slimmest when I still drank like a fish but ate like half as much as I do now. And exercised more often but not insanely.

Well played, BBC. Well played.

You make a great point. I wouldn’t even know where to begin finding a gun illegally.

This. Plus it’s a great rebuttal to people who claim cars are more dangerous. Sure. Okay. But people have to pass a test to get a driver’s licence. There are age restrictions (on both ends) and to operate the vehicle legally you have to have valid insurance. Get too many tickets or points? Lose the car and/ or your…

If you were read this story and asked to describe what the people probably looked like, we’d all be almost bang on right, no? There are no surprises here.

I don’t even understand how it’s an insult (I’m NOT suggesting it isn’t).

This is a feel good story of the best kind. Best of luck and long life to both of them.

This. It’s basically swatting at this point.

I don’t even have breathing issues and I agree. I mean body sweat can be gross. Too much cologne is worse.

Thank you. I’ve been practicing really hard.
