When I was a kid in the South, my history teacher taught us that slavery was already on its way out when the Civil War started because of “economics” and even if the South won, slavery would have been quickly abandoned and everything would have been hunky dory.

I swear they throw anyone who has had a baby on a timer. As soon as my kids reached toddlerhood, I had a huge uptick in pregnancy/baby ads. They just assume everyone who has spawned might do so again.

The complete lack of realistic privacy is why we should all be freaked out by any threat to pre-existing conditions protections.

Uh, I just reread my comment and Fuck, I just realized it was a total “But whaaat about white people” comment and I am so sorry. I should really, really know better. I have no excuse, I was just musing on women and police and was totally, stupidly thoughtless about what I was saying. Sorry, everybody, I will try to…

Yep, absolutely. And I’ll bet violence faced by WOC intimate partners of police is probably exponentially worse and far far less likely to see justice as well.

This article does apply to unrelated women shot in the course of duty, but not, I suspect, entirely apply to intimate partners of policemen who happen to go “missing.”

Kid aren’t allowed outside on their own that much these days. You’ve got a generation of parents who were kids for the great Satanic Panic in the 80's so we absorbed the general low level unconscious terror that a child out of direct supervision are going to be snatched up by murderers and rapists from the bushes.…

This is your legacy, McCAin. Your final great work. Thousands dead and millions suffering.

At the beginning of the summer, I was incredibly excited that the scouts seemed to be moving towards a kinder stance and counting down the days until my five year old son could join. I have loved scouting since I was five years old myself, lugging my grandmother’s and mother’s Girl Scout books around in the woods. I…

I assume they couldn’t get any other actor to touch that with a ten foot pole.

How interesting! Sorry to ask, but would you know of any books/articles that might go more in depth on this?

Boston! You’d be surprised how much nature is around in cities if you just pay attention. (Most of the plants aren’t protected or healthy enough to produce tomatoes, if you’re wondering why you haven’t seen them - they just look like weeds unless you look closely.)

Oh my gosh, YES.

Tucker, honey, do you have any idea how much white Americans shit and pee in public? Cause it’s a lot. Especially when drunk.

I was literally taught the bend-over technique to help the boobs fall into place in the bra cups by an Anita Blake (supernatural romance) book. I was all “Holy shit!”

Imagine my surprise and awe when someone taught me how to unhook the back and pull the arm straps out through your sleeves so you can pull off your bra…

Same here. So not interested in a more cynical take on the muppet relationships.

Intimidating you for calling might be intentional. Less work for them if they can scare people away from reporting anything.

My husband, after watching the trailer: “Was the book that crazy?”

Except they didn’t scrutinize it. The police didn’t even bother checking the Walmart footage to see if he actually bought all the gear because they had “no indications of foul play.”
