It does. And in a way, it's kind of nice to take a day and remember family (silver linings and all...). I know last year I made a video tribute to my sisters. It was excruciatingly painful to sift through all the videos I had, but in the end, when I shared it with my family, everyone loved it. And we remembered them…

Thank you <3

When my oldest sister died, it was because doctors didn't know what to do to save her. She just faded. Oct 16, 1983.

I always just say "Because I wanted to." If they keep pressing, I react based on how antsy they seem. If they're genuinely curious, a brief answer (I never liked the taste of meat, and I really enjoy my diet as it is); if they're getting confrontational, it's because I love the look on someone's face when I microwave…

1:33 he's been driven to drinking Jose Cuervo at work. Nice job, lady.

This is one of my biggest problems with moving back here. People spout casually racist shit all the time and most of them can't even claim to ever have had one friend of color. Then when you point it out or say that it bothers you, you are "no fun" and "whatever, it's not even a big deal". I'm white, but I've lived so…

My arms get tired too quickly. This could be a face-flattening, wrinkle-reducing, arm-buffing event. READERS UNITE

But their necks are covered with beards. They're running out of neck for their beards. ahhhhh quelle horreur!!

i have always hated that weird line of thinking that "there's nothing to do but have sex all day" in cold climes. People always try to link snowstorms with increased births and whatnot.

I know they're trying to be all, "Look guys! We're in this together! Beautiful models are insecure, too!" And then they try to get us to all hold hands and be supportive of one another as Strong Women Frens.

Then we who make $12 an hour and buy drugstore makeup to look pretty take a look at this model—who is clearly…

This is what I was saying in a thread on the article (linked on Facebook). People kept berating me for being "ignorant"—and while that might be true (I grew up 2 miles across the river in a liberal state where I'd always voted, then moved away for years and came back to live in this state a year ago. Hadn't voted yet…

Agreed. These voter fraud laws are designed to deliberately make it rough on certain groups, though. Notice how many students had issues? Yeah. :/

My state definitely skews older (well except for the oil fields, but they're a special group as it is...)

What really fucked over the young people (and new arrivals to the state, like myself) was some stupid convoluted "anti-fraud" law that they passed. Many, MANY students were turned away last night. It was chaos. My…

My boyfriend and I showed up to vote in our precinct. We carried three forms of ID each—social security cards, a valid photo ID, and proof of current address. In the past, this has been more than enough to vote, and if you weren't already on the list for the precinct, they added you right there.

We were both turned…

Maybe not? It just struck me as odd. Like, if I heard about this in such a way, I'd be like "Wow, this is terrible in so many ways, for everyone involved." I don't know. I never go there—I used to, a long time ago, though.

Agreed! :)

That is literally not even close to what I said.

I know. It's more of a rhetorical question because it's so fucking stupid.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. I said it added an extra layer to an already fucked-up situation (meaning, that it was extra fucked-up that the boy would find his mother like that, when it was already fucked-up that a woman was murdered), but that it was a little bizarre (okay a lot bizarre) that a…

I know. I was being sarcastic. It's just so depressing it's the only way I can deal with it lol
