can’t everyone just wear a black fucking shirt everyday please?

He irritates the fuck out of me, along with jack Black. Ugh!

I miss Mark. :(

If you can get paid for writing articles in response to stupid Reddit posts, your job security is going to be fantastic.

Unusual or offbeat people are always going to catch shit from people who think, for one reason or another, that mocking others makes them look good. If the testimony from the locals is true it sounds like it’s rolling right off their collective back. Keep on saving the birds, ladies, it’s a fine mission, and one that…

One of my relatives had one of those. But the parents wanted to be surprised by the gender too, so they have the doctor write the baby’s gender on a piece of paper and stick it in a sealed envelope. They give the sealed envelope to a bakery, pre-order a cake for the party, tell the bakery to open the envelope and use…

We had to do this with our middle child, who is severely allergic to peanuts. It required a lot of consciousness raising among the school staff and other parents, and it definitely ruffled some feathers among parents who thought it was their god-given right to send peanut-butter snacks into the classroom if they…

I didn’t mind the way she handled the karate thing. And I thought it was awesome how receptive the karate teacher was to the criticism!

It’s rough always trying to combat sexism and gender norms. As a black woman, and especially one who grew up in a majority white town, I’ve done the same thing in terms of racism. It made me feel isolated a lot of the time, and I wish I had a more open relationship with my parents so I could have talked to them about…

Can’t agree there. I was totally on board with her complaining about another child teasing her kid until she cries. One may or may not agree about the pretend guns, but that level of teasing is not teasing anymore; it is flat-out bullying.

That karate anecdote really hit home for me. Karate was my life from ages 10-16, when I finally got my black belt. However, once thrown into class with the other black belts, most of whom were men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, I quit within six months. Why? Because they made inappropriate and sexist remarks about my…

As a multi culural guy my white mom never fought my battles for me, instead she did everything she could to make me try to understand the idiot people saying that crap, not their ideas, but why they had them. She only stepped into the major stuff, like when my school turned a blind eye to how badly I was getting…

I’m with the librarian about Point #2. You can’t expect a library to get rid of all the children’s books with subtle sexist messages. Even if the library just got rid of all the books with OVERT sexist messages, it wouldn’t carry any European fairy tales. (Except Hansel and Gretel. Gretel’s a badass.) I think the…

And as a mixed raced child who had a white mother who took every single racial and sexist battle - and won them, I’ll say: the exhaustion is worth it.

When my son was in kindergarten, I consistently spoke up as the parent of a kid with autism, bringing those issues into conversations, and I worried that it would mark me as the Weird Mom, but after a couple of years I saw attitudes changing among the parents.

As a parent of a small daughter all I can say is your right but you are going to exhaust yourself. My daughter is also multi cultural, and if I had to sit her down and fight every micro bs moment we wouldn’t have time to have fun with life. The best I can teach her is that it is up to her to define her own existance,…

poorly worded on my part, true, fixed

He’ll always be the VP.....of our hearts.

And look, I told Barack, if you really, really want to remake the Supreme Court, nominate Cruz. Before you know it, you’ll have eight vacancies.

Ted Cruz as the kid nobody liked in school is the most apt description of him I've ever read.
