It makes me sad that shes nothing like Peggy Olson irl

“I’m a tremendous fan of his as an actor so it’s really cool to be directed by someone like that because, basically, you just want to do whatever they tell you so you can try to be as good as they are.”

Thank you for sharing this. It is nice to know a bit about her as a person, rather than a victim. I expect this was the family’s motivation for making the statement.

Likely they want to clarify her condition. I suppose it’s similar, though not entirely comparable to say if your child has autism, and someone said they had down syndrome. You would likely correct them.

Much more aware of the example I’m setting now that my kids are teenagers. I’m also more aware of how much alcohol affects me beyond the period that I’m actually drinking it. So, for now, while my patience is being stretched beyond anything I’ve ever before encountered (and I speak as someone who was a single mother…

Going into teen years now though, and you never know when your kid is going to need you when they’re out with their friends. I felt less guilty drinking when the kid was younger and at her grandparent’s house for the weekend. Also, I was younger then and the recovery is quicker. Now I’m struggling with how I need to…

The best part is that these smug little assholes are hiding behind their church to engage in this behaviour. Fuck them, fuck their parents, and fuck the institution that presents their religious fascism as Christianity.

Ugh, white people are the worst...

Aggressive Blowjob is my new punk band name!

Feh.

Jews too.  Every holiday is about stuffing your face until you are sick or fasting.  Nothing in between.

I am an Italian American. Every holiday is an eating holiday.

Christmas is 100% an eating holiday with the bonus of presents and intermittent bouts of catholicism. Last year we had cioppino and a ton of champagne on Christmas eve, and cardamon buns in the morning. This year I braised rabbit and mushrooms in cream last night, and made olive oil orange buns for the morning. It’s…

Yaaaas- ALL of the pierogi and kielbasa in our house!! For Easter too!!

From my Polish family:

Three years ago, my beloved father in law died on Christmas day. It was horrible. Fast forward and as I am typing this on a bathroom break, I am watching as my husband of 22 years dies from metastatic brain cancer. Although filed with morphine sulphate liquid, he is restless beyond belief and unable to communicate…
