Hey, Nolan, thank you. I appreciate seeing something about my home state that isn’t some horrible, gleeful variation of “how can they be so STUPID?” or “bet those redneck Trump supporters are mad at themselves now!”

My parents live in the northwestern part of the state. Right down the block from their house, a neighbor has a giant Confederate flag flying. It’s so gross.

They also defaulted to sneering contempt for the people there. You can only mock and condescend so long.

I’m from WV. I’m a certified teacher in TX, currently. My parents, two aunts, uncle, and cousin all work for the school system in WV.

My father’s people are from Mercer Co. Princeton, specifically. My uncle worked at that pizza place for years and years. It was good pizza! The bible class is blowing up my Facebook on the daily. Most of my father’s side of the family are proud, radical leftists (my great-grandfather was a coal-mining union man), but…

Why on earth would you expect “those people” (MY PEOPLE, you ass) to vote otherwise when the contempt from your side has been fairly dripping for years?

I live in her old Houston neighborhood and know people who attended HSPVA (the HISD magenet high school) with her. She isn’t lying about her age.

That was also my immediate thought.

Yup. I posted above about my ex’s family court antics above. The first time I got legal fees awarded, it was a straight up contempt case. He didn’t pay child support for two and a half years. He was shocked that not only did he have to pay, but he had to pay my lawyer, too. Ever since, whenever he sues me (all the…

Yup. I’ve been in family court litigation with a narcissist for almost three years now. He files and files and files. I’m forced by the court to have more contact with him now than I had when we were living under the same roof (he was a stonewaller/withholder). He can file any goddamn thing he wants “in the best…

As a Slytherin, I object to this. Gryffindor is more the mayhem house.

ARGH. My foundation is sold out. No discount for me. I love the new water foundation so much.

I have heard report after report of him assaulting fans at shows. Like, punching people in the face without provocation. I’ve also heard numerous reports of him meeting fans and immediately mocking them (“No amount of makeup can cover that fat”). I don't know anything about the allegations of racism, though.

Hoydens!

I just want to point out that they were all Teach For America interns.

I did the same thing. It felt so bizarre, like I was living in a book or a movie. I never expected to be fleeing in the night, calling women’s shelters as I went.

Yeah. It was similar with my relationship. Once I was pregnant (planned, wanted, etc.), he started emotionally abusing me. When the baby was born, it just ramped up to eleven. By the time our child was 10 weeks old, he was cheating. By the time our child hit his first birthday, he was leaving guns all around the house…

I just did an image search for her. Yup, she’s young and attractive.

I teach public school and I’m forever grateful that my campus is very relaxed about faculty/staff attire. We’re in Houston, and the AC in my classroom doesn’t work. I typically wear jeans and a t-shirt. Some teachers wear suits and heels, but it’s by no means required. The principal basically just wants everyone to be…

Same comment! Except I was 30!
