Excellent, thank you. I've been thinking about this all morning but hadn't gone out in search of the actual comparison.

...and I've been thinking it all morning. Blech.

SERIOUSLY? I'm white and I can't tell them apart. Fuck.

No fooling, when I read that quote BEFORE I heard about the massacre, my assumption was that it was ISIS talking about westerners in Afghanistan.

Dude. I have a friend who's in a Confederate Marine "regiment" that reenacts exclusively as Confederates (there's apparently a rule that reenactors must agree to play the opposite side occasionally?) because "fuck them I'm not taking the side of those honorless cowards". I try to be tactful because personally he's a…

I know Melissa. She’s a serious academician, and she is asking questions that need to be asked. It doesn't mean she believes them, it means she needs to ask them neutrally.

All I can say is thank Odin my daughter’s school requires a uniform. There’s also no boys/girls differentiation. Shorts and/or skirts should be mid-thigh or longer. The end. I am REALLY not looking forward to high school wardrobe issues.

I took my daughter to a second hand store to buy some inexpensive shorts for summer camp. She’s between kid and teenage sizes so it’s getting harder to know where to look for clothes for her. When there were very few choices in the kids’ section we headed over to women’s, thinking we could get her shorts in a very…

Perfect.

Holy crap. This whole thing is such a shit show. Can we please stop talking about it now? I feel like these people need to be ignored by everyone except mental health workers and representatives of the law. Gah. I feel like somebody just kicked over a rotten log and these people are the squiggly gross grub things…

“But what about MY boner? It's (obviously) the only one that matters. Slut.”

I have a relative who still cracks up over walking into that movie assuming it was just a movie (and he's honestly a pretty devout guy, but still), with a big bucket of popcorn, soda and a box of candy. He said people were in their in their church clothes eyeballing him like he just pooped in the pope's shoes.

Face anus. Face anus! FACE ANUS!

Maybe I should look for a job at j. peterman?

Fomenting insecurities, sure. But really, how many women have the option financially of staying home anyhow? And maybe I’m a weirdo (OK, I am a weirdo, but still) do some women actually take lower paying jobs just to make their hubbies feel better about themselves? I need to make as much as possible in order to pay…

Dunno. The lying part certainly worked out for my (ex) SO.

Beautiful. Next time I'll know not to marry a low-achieving asshole looking for me to support him until his inheritance comes in. *sigh*

I'm honestly having a hard time taking this seriously. Like what kind of dumbass would actually carry a BINDLE while they're also carrying a BABY? (even if the baby is in a sling) I'm sorry. I think my brain just broke.

Yup. Except I could climb the orchid tree in our front yard onto the roof of our carport and just sit up there all day with a great view of the street. Alternately I could climb the giant tree in our backyard and just read all afternoon. Unfortunately my mother could always find me because I invariably left my shoes…

Ironically, I’m a white woman, and have never had a makeover by anyone but an African American. It is literally the luck of the draw (and local demographics), but I assume/hope that at least the customer service is better with the varieties of skin tones to be found locally.
