Now we just need a version of this that is tailored to spouses and other grown ups.

Wrede and Stevemore collaborated on a truly excellent series about a regency-ish finishing school that was actually a magic college, pretty sure long before Harry Potter. It’s hard to find, but a really fun and smart read (for the YA section).

Also, let’s not overlook the part of the bill that keeps any municipalities from setting a minimum wage. No one is allowed to try and do better. Because ... small government! Like, really small. Petty, really.

Allow me to leave this here, from WRAL.com : Last week, Trump visited Concord and Fayetteville in rallies that attracted thousands of attendees. During the rally in Fayetteville, a protester was assaulted as he was escorted from Crown Coliseum by police. A Linden man was later charged in the incident, and Cumberland…

Do you think she was doing something illegal by being close to him? It’s one thing to stop, say, a bank robber commiting a crime, but journalists aren’t usually considered to be committing criminal acts when they do their time-honored job of asking a question. You have to see who acts wrong first here, and it’s not…

Assuming the quotes are correct, I cry for his English teachers.

Pretty sure the law doesn’t distinguish much. You lay hands on someone, it’s assault. No one has a right to touch anyone else.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. It will stop, eventually. Sending you good thoughts.

I want to see more history being taught about how children were seen as practically always awful expendable burdens by most people in the bad old days, when birth control was mostly non existent, but infant mortality, child labor, and grinding poverty were the general reality for everyone but the very upper classes.…

This is my current daydream for giggles: The president states he will absolutely only suggest moderate liberals, then the Dem candidates say they will only nominate radical liberals, then Dem candidate wins, and the Congress trips over itself to approve Obama’s nominees.

Thanks, they’re a year and a half now. Congrats to you and all the best. Also sorry for typo, meant CLIMBING a mountain.

The way my doc explained it was that you’re circulatory etc system is working for (in my case) 3 people, and so pregnant women’s bodies are working the same (in some regards) as someone coming a mountain. But they’re just breathing and sitting still.

My mom was very open and no-big-deal at home about when her period was, showed me a toilet full of blood, and was like , this is normal. Don’t freak out if you see this. I don’t remember how we got much farther than that in explanations, but I know it was a start. Not saying it’s the best idea, but it worked ok with…

I made this point to someone once who replied with something like, “but children, babies, the unborn, they’re young and innocent, so they should be protected.” I understand people think this, and I agree that there is some value to innocence, but I guess I am a horrible human because I don’t understand why someone who…

Sorry, doctors are going to need to see two separate written confimations from creators that this legislation is not total bullshit.

Right? Am I the only one that is clearly most concerned about this part of the sentence??

the tv show The Librarians just featured this guy as a plot point, too.

Efficiency ... Screw you, phone.
