Ben Carson is calling it a “hate crime” and the PP attack a “shooting.”

I’m literally crying because of how, in spite of the dangerous situation, you’re thinking about how someone else is doing.

Up the street at a university? I’m at LLUMC right now. If you need a safe place to watch the news, I can meet you somewhere on campus and bring you to a TV and some coffee until you know he’s clear.

What’s even worse than fetishizing wheelchair users, I believe this may be a (mocking) reference to life-size dolls that get pushed around in wheelchairs by their owners. See: Lars and the Real Girl

My husband destroyed a friendship of my daughter’s by falling asleep on the couch during their play-date (they were 7 years old). The mom wouldn’t let her kid come to our house anymore since apparently my husband can’t be counted on to stay awake. That kid is now one of the middle school kids who smokes, chases boys…

Christ, Harvard really is insufferable in every imaginable way.

Awww, one last Pinkham’s Law. Thanks for coming.

This is so terribly sad to me. I’m not sure if I am just in a particularly morose mood, but I just can’t with this.

A green card means that you’ve been granted permanent resident status, which means that you have indefinite permission to live and work in the US. The big difference between permanent residency and citizenship (other than some voting rights and stuff which aren’t really relevant to this situation) is that permanent…

My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

I have a Fantastic Thanksgiving story:

At my first job out of college, instead of the relatively normal two weeks of vacation and ~10 federal holidays off, they just gave us 20 days off with no federal holidays.

Apparently the fact that I have small breasts makes me intrinsically less sexual, and thus more professional/serious/worthy of respect. There’s nothing more threatening than a woman who loves sex. Which is exclusively all women with big breasts. /s

That’s the bottom line for me: if someone’s going to fuck up handwashing, they’re going to fuck up glove use. Mandatory glove laws don’t help anything.

I posted this before under a different username in a similar thread on Jezebel, but I’ll leave it here as well:

This is a heard story, not a saw, so please don’t kill me. It is the most disgusting thing that I’ve ever encountered on transit, though. I was on the #6 Bus in Chicago, travelling south to my work-study job at a youth center on 76th Street. The bus turns left at 67th street, and it was then that a man got on.

I kind of want to backhand that one young douchebag who keeps smugly talking about how non-authentic everything is, while all the older folks are like, “hey, this isn’t bad!”

Well shit, had I known you could use stories about people being nice...

“There I was, enjoying a light repast at the Applebuddies club, engaging in a fine and stimulating discussion of Amanda McKittrick Ros’s brilliant use of simile and metaphor, when suddenly what should assault my ears but some jenny foreigner defiling the rarefied air of our great nation with her native tongue! Well I…

“take the nose cone off the rocket so that the onrushing air is blowing ‘into’ the rocket itself. ‘then’ tell me the roekct would haev kept climbing? there’s ballistics but you’re completely forgetting aerodynamics.”
