You’re a casting genius. That is all.

Nod. I agree. My kid goes to a really awesome charter, in fact. But the for-profit folks DO have bad intentions.

She and her friends are making big bucks on fly-by-night, for-profit charters. If they gut the public school system and make “privatized” schools the only viable option, they can make huge money while providing terrible schooling to people not like them. The pro-charter folks aren’t all evil, but a lot of them make…

Thanks! Just one — she’s 11. Her school is a super-diverse progressive urban school and she’s got friends who are directly, themselves, screwed over by this ridiculous executive order.

*Villian fist bump*

Boston represent! We had a family meeting last week to decide how many protests we could, as a family, manage. We’re pretty much assuming one every other weekend, though we’ve allowed for emergency rallies like the one over the weekend. We’ve assembled an always-packed protest bag (clear stadium bag with everything a…

By my count, we’re on Day 7 of the administration and we’ve had demonstrations for four of those days — Inauguration Day; Women’s March; immigration protests Wed. in NYC, DC, and LA; yesterday in Philly. I’ve been invited to smaller demonstrations this weekend — about fifteen or twenty of them around the area. I’m…

I feel like we all need to send him one of these postcards (Senator Chris McDaniel 702 Capitol Ave., Annex Room 204 Frankfort, KY 40601) with our opinions written on them. https://www.etsy.com/search?q=vulva+postcards 

Yah. Because to be honest, very few of the women I know use it for actually not getting pregnant. Not only is Viagra covered, so are penis pumps.

Be fair, now. Women fighting back is MUCH WORSE than white dudes assaulting people (in Trump’s America).

They go on my daily call sheet. (Fucking A. I have a daily call sheet.) I’m entertained that they have a Press 1 for information or inquires against Trump, 2 for everything else.

Sigh. Not your car insurance. Your HEALTH insurance would pay for your broken..... Oh, nvmd. You’re clearly not someone I can talk to. Have a great day.

First — many people take the pill for reasons that have nothing do with sex. I have an friend who is asexual who has never and will never have sex who takes it to prevent near-hemorrhagic periods. Trust me, it’s cheaper to subsidize her pills than to pay for her trips to the emergency room from blood loss.

American Christian theology often actively *discourages* learning. Blind faith and unquestioning obedience is encouraged in many sects.

You get involved. It’s slow and tedious and frustrating work but you do it.

You pay attention to what your elected officials are doing. You sign up for notifications of public meetings. And then you go to the meetings. (Take up a hand-work hobby like knitting. They are mind-numbingly dull.) Then, when you get a…

Hey! Don’t go insulting fourth graders like that.

I’ll kick in a few bucks to a Kickstarter/Patreon/whatever to pay those fines.

I make bread all the time. It’s awesome. I mean, it’s a religious experience almost. And it’s easy, too. I mean, it’s like chess: easy to learn, a lifetime to master. But you are going to have do much fun!

Nod. It would have been a better movie if they hadn’t “redeemed” Pratt’s character. My husband was saying that Passengers should have been from Aurora’s POV — she wakes up, senses something is amiss with the explanation she’s getting, winds up in a relationship anyway, then slowly realizes that she’s not the first. In…

I’ll help. I will tell my insane Fox News mom that she’s wrong and that I won’t tolerate any hate speech in front of my kid (and will remove the kid if she says shit like that). I will make phone calls and write letters. I will form a small group that meets with politicians to “tell them our concerns” because all the…
