do you ever think that even though your cat is your best friend you are not theirs?

My divorce will be finalized in the next month and I will be celebrating with some damned good champagne. Maybe a French 75 or two. It would be a shame to waste good champagne.

I think the comment about the doctors is a really good point, though, that the mother needs to consider. She needs to be reminded about the fact that the people around her may be gay, and that it’s naive of her to attempt to live in a gay-free bubble. And the fact that a gay person might save her child’s life is a…

So let me get this straight.

The flag of our people. We’d raise it high, but we can’t figure out how that flagpole rope thingy works exactly.

Came here to say the same thing. The title should really be more like:

Drinking coffee helps you live longer because when I drink it my desire to destroy the world for making me get out of bed slightly lessens.

Because men don’t see the emotional work. Women are socialized from birth to recognize and respond to it. Men are not. The effort to bring men up to speed is exhausting. You talk and talk and talk until you’re blue in the face, hoping for one *aha* moment, and when it happens, they expect a freaking trophy because…

Also, don't give people credit for basically saying, "I still think what you're doing is sick and wrong but I'm not going to actively try to fuck with your life over it. I'm a hero."

What if we did away with maternity/paternity leave all together and only gave paid days off for when your cat is purring on your chest and is being too adorable to move?

Everyone’s given really good advice already, but I’d just like to add that I think tempering her righteous confidence will come with maturity. That’s not to say you can’t talk to her about how it was great that she stood up for herself, but maybe next time she could do it without the name-calling; just to say that you…

Seriously, it was so glaring how all their policies were:

My 5-year-old, inexplicably, loves AC/DC and asks for it every time he rides with me. With air guitar and rock faces in the back seat. It makes me happier than just about anything else.

No one deserves a quiet retirement full of hot tea and books and grandchildren more than Joe Biden.

I’ve just learned that on November 8th 2016 President Obama is planning on confiscating guns from anyone who leaves their homes. Please encourage any Republicans you know to stay home and not leave the house on Tuesday November 8th 2016 if they’d like to keep their guns.

I remember my mum saying to me as a young VERY big attitude lass that being an assertive young women was an excellent quality, as is being strong willed, but to never confuse assertion with aggression. One will get you places the other will cause anger and chaos you don’t need or want. :)

I try to teach my kids to be kind. You can’t always be nice, but you have to be kind to people. Standing up for yourself is never wrong because you are a person worthy of respect. If a person can’t handle you standing up for yourself, then they aren’t worth being arond.

So, I was at a conference last month where Chelsea Clinton was a keynote speaker and was interviewed on stage. In the interview, she said that one of the best things her parents did for her growing up was to encourage her to express her point of view - but they always asked her to back up what she said with evidence.…

Fuck all of this, but this part specifically.
