This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.

This falls more into the most absurd lie I've ever gotten away with. And because it would absolutely dox me should it be read by much of my family, anyone I went to college with as well as their family and friends, I've created a burner account for this tale.

Going up, my parents were were divorced and never communicated directly. I got bounced back and forth between them a lot. Always based on what my mom needed. Fuck my social life or grades or stability. If being a parent started to get too hard, she'd ship me off to live with my grandmother or father. She'd get lonely,…

The context is that he was unarmed and had his hands in the air. The context is that police murder a black person every 28 hours in the US. The context is hundreds of years of dehumanization of black people: lynchings, slavery, you name it. The context is the rights that we are supposedly afforded by the Constitution,…

I'm pretty sure I'm not. I'm 31 and my feed is filled with everyone's kids and grandchildren. I like it though - how can I hate on a chubby face or little tummy?

I didn't watch this show all the years. I picked up on it a couple years ago, watched all the episodes, and got burnt out in the current season. So instead of watching the finale, I just read this. And I must say...

"Babies and weddings and dating..."

This seems to be a minority opinion, but the video made me pretty uncomfortable. I appreciate that this was made by gay women (I assume the people who make up "Gay Women" are gay women) but it still puts forward a concept of what homophobia is and how it can and should be dealt with that bothers me. Anti-queer people…

Yes, exactly. Basic wedding etiquette should allow for each guest to bring a +1 so people aren't forced to show up alone. The LW's account sounds super rude and very much like a deliberate slight, so count me in with everyone else who says there must be a back story here. Maybe her BF is the racist tool from the other…

I mean this as nicely as possible, but what a shitty policy. In 2014, there are a lot of us who aren't jumping right into marriage— I've got plenty of friends who have been with their partners for 5 or 10 years, own homes together, have families (pet, children, and otherwise), and everything else.

I realize that…

I dislike that her rumored bad attitude is being used to dismiss her feelings on her own rape. Also, not to be that black girl, but her comments on not being raised to
be coddled, and being raised to stand on her own two feet have a lot to do with how black women are raised to be survivors of all sorts of abuse and…

He's a penguin. And he's been drinking!

I feel like any discussion like this should include the couple from Happy Endings, which when I search doesn't seem like it ruffled many feathers.

No reason why they can't look abroad to some of the fine American Schools...

Twice a day? No way, too much water usage, even with a low-flow! So, now I wonder how much of these attitudes are dependent on your geographical location - we're drought-prone so the idea of all of that precious, precious water going down the drain is anathema to me!

Sometimes I feel like being a mother is the biggest bill of goods ever sold. Absolutely, there's the unspoken assumption that every woman will have kids, is dying to have kids, to be a mommy, that it's the most fulfilling thing a woman could do, that every woman falls instantly in love with their baby and blah blah…

Brooklyn Nine-Nine rocks my socks. Tuesday nights are an excellent night for television this year!
