Tennessee is even worse than Texas in the blue dot in a sea of red phenomenon. I live in Houston and this is my world.

This is amazing. All the local schools here are on spring break, so I think most are waiting for the big march on the 24th.

I think it’s more sadistic behaviour than assholery, but I agree completely.

Republican Cubans don’t consider themselves latino. They are the kind of people who can come to Texas with no money in their pocket and work their way from a dishwasher to wealth, unlike those lazy mexicans.

O’Rourke should be miles ahead of the Zodiac Killer but unfortunately they’re in Texas.

Dude, as a parent I’m here to tell you that very small children can get away from you in the blink of an eye, in a single moment of distraction. Now, maybe they weren’t paying attention... but little children have a GENIUS at getting away the moment you take your eyes off them.

Do we have the same Dad? LOL

it is not for you to grill me to figure out how or why.

I’m much more solution-focused and if something is bothering me I want to fix it. If something is bothering you, I want to fix it. I’m a problem-solver to my core; people come to me for solutions and answers. I’m bad with feelings. And I’m a woman.

But the commentary attached to the show—which vacillates from “OMG THIS SHOW MAKES MY EYES SHALLOW PUDDLES OF SALT!” to “OMG I NEED TO WATCH THIS WEEK TO SEE EXACTLY HOW TRAGICALLY THIS CHARACTER I LOVE DIED!”—just doesn’t make it seem particularly entertaining to me.

Harriet and one of her brothers left and never came back. Their mother died and they were not able to publicly mourn her if/when they found out.

It could be the one meal they get all day and the only chance they have to be a kid.

I want these bad!

Mr. Young, I’m 44. Please please know that the lack of fucks you give in your 30’s will DRASTICALLY reduce in your 40’s. It’s a beautiful thing to behold - you’ll be amazed at how many fewer fucks are given each day into your 40’s.

Cervical cancer, that’s why our children get the shot! All three of my boys have the HPV shot to protect any girlfriends they might have.

For my parents, I think it is watching all of their 4 children leave the church and become non-church goers. We also veered away from the church and became more successful financially than most of our peers that are still in the church. The complete sheltering didn’t help out peers out financially or emotionally and a…

Maybe I’m just bad at this whole adulting thing, but I never got into the mindset where I’m supposed to be perpetually annoyed with teenagers for having the gall to be emotionally chaotic and irrational.

thankfully they’re less church-y and more open-minded but unfortunately that doesn’t help the fact that i didn’t feel comfortable going to them with questions and needs when i was younger.

like, yeah, i went through some awful stuff, and no, i didn’t tell you because you taught me not to have sex or i’d go to hell.

I only know about trusts because of a conversation I had with a man on a plane some years ago. His cousin won a few million on the lottery. It caused her nothing but problems including a “still married to” ex that came out of the woodwork and had a claim to some of the money.
