I will never understand the praise these books get here, I read the first one based on it being promoted here. It’s pure Mary Sue fantasy nonsense? The main character just so happens to have every Witch Power that exists while never having trained using any of them, including time travel. She has no flaws, smart,…

When I was in Bye Bye Birdie in high school, one gal’s poodle skirt came unfastened during a tap number and she kept on dancing, holding her skirt up with one hand and continuing whatever choreography with her right.

As a former music industry dinosaur - I feel like this ad is pretty tame. A bit ballsy to come out and say it in print considering it’s 2018, but I have seen so much worse.

The main character is such a Mary Sue. I can't with that nonsense.

Gardening: What plants produce hard-to-detect, tasteless poisons and how best to make them flourish?

OMG - I bet they were Fundies.

I read this book of essays called Voices From the Spectrum and there was a section of essays written by parents of children with autism. I was shocked to read about how many of them realized that they or their spouse is also on the spectrum but was never diagnosed after their child’s diagnosis. If your son is on the…

I hope you feel OK about that. After I was diagnosed with ADHD and started researching it, a lot of my mom’s behavior made much more sense. She’s an awesome person, but a lot about her perplexed me as a kid.

I’m autistic with ADHD, wasn’t diagnosed with either till my fucking 30s. I badly struggled in school but I was ‘so bright’ so people just shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. Ahhh the 80s-early 90s.

Now that President Obama has moved on, it’s actually nice to see the new leader of the free world sitting in the Oval Office, and also Donald Trump.

I mentioned this on another thread, but this so-called bill devotes 6 pages to kicking people off medicaid if they win they lottery. It goes into an absurd amount of specifics of the types of lottery winnings, how much lottery winning disqualifies you, how the state can ‘intercept’ your lottery winnings to recover…

I am a clinic escort volunteer coordinator at my local indie abortion clinic. Our local CPCs raised 325k to buy one of these stork buses. Every day that we are open, they park in the empty lot across the street (that they lease and have forbidden us from stepping foot on). The regular antis that troll our sidewalks…

I just finished reading “The Child Catchers” by Kathryn Joyce about evangelicals and adoption. It was an amazing (and depressing) read.

Honestly, I’m now convinced they want women to put children up for adoption just so they can adopt all the babies and get Jesus points for taking in “orphans”.

Counterpoint - the popularity of the Duggars, the tenet that “go forth and multiply” leads a culture to squeeze out other cultures if the population growth rate is higher, that children are miraculous presents from the ghost of Santa Claus...

Go fuck yourself, Julie.

I feel like the heartbeat bill was just a way for them to distract everyone from the 20 week abortion ban.

As a former 14 year music industry worker: It’s sad when this is a step up from the years where employees would be fired bc of bullshit reasons the moment the bosses found out they were pregnant. Or tortured until they quit.

Two stick out to me at two different companies:

We went Game of Thrones...
Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragon
