I fault the ones who think I shouldn’t be able to eat meat because they are afraid to kill it, but otherwise yeah, I’m very live and let live. I pretty much only get het up when people try to tell me what to do; I usually don’t even care what they do.

Same. It doesn’t feel right to eat something I can’t bring myself to kill or even handle the full flesh of. It seems like if I’m too squeamish to do that, I shouldn’t be eating it.

They don’t even want to take care of them while they’re overseas or working at home, they just want them to kill towelheads.

No, they need to get substandard medical care, too. Knowing that if you take a risk on something and get hurt might make you suffer the whole rest of your life if it wasn’t addressed properly was a huge anxiety of mine during childhood. The inescapable weight of poverty is what breaks you; the fear that no matter how…

The filthiest jokes I’ve ever heard were from devout Mormons. Mormonism twists everything about being human and turns it into either a forbidden fruit or a punishment. Fuck that religion.

God, thank you. I thought I was the only person on the face of the planet who doesn’t think she’s funny.

Not to mention trying to scare people off impeaching Trump because “Pence would be worse”. Bitch, Pence ain’t getting out of the fucking gate. Go do Dancing with the Stars.

Yeah if Fredo sent it to himself there’s no way he’d sub cornstarch. He’d mail actual anthrax.

I feel sad for them but that doesn’t preclude me from understanding that if there’s a such thing as evil, these motherfuckers are doing it.

No, it doesn’t cause celiac. There seems to be some correlation, but at this point it looks more likely that having celiac causes the conditions where bacterial overgrowth tends to occur.

When I said that celiac tends to occur with other conditions, that’s what I meant. It doesn’t mean that one causes the other; it’s…

There may be some correlation between celiac and small intestine bacterial overgrowth, actually, it just tends to be the other direction. You still have to have certain genes to develop celiac, and SIBO and celiac may just be traveling buddies, but celiac seems to leave people more vulnerable to SIBO than the other…

FDA labeling requirements have changed in the years since your friend (and I) was first diagnosed: if it’s labeled gluten free, the final product must have less than 20ppm million gluten proteins through being a product that doesn’t contain gluten or having been processed to remove it. The GFCO standard is 10ppm. For…

“Christ the King High School”

I had to eat strictly gluten free for years and started eating this way because I often had to cobble together a meal from whatever is available. My husband and I have often have “snacks” for dinner, we call it foraging. We’re not always hungry at the same time so it’s easier.

The standard deduction is higher, but the personal exemption is gone. Families who itemize (pretty much everyone with a mortgage) are worse off unless all their dependents are under 16 so they can take advantage of the childcare credit, but regardless of their real tax situation are seeing more in their paychecks due…

This. When they come out and say they will support DACA, they have to support DACA. Everything else takes a backseat in most people’s minds, and ‘most people’ are the ones we need fired up and voting.

“And again, this was 121 democrats to 72; the majority of the party DID vote against the budget in favor of Dreamers.”

So take a look at who they’re targeting: people who support DACA and restorative immigration reform, but also people who might be swayed on arguments about net neutrality.

I’m always angry at Republicans for lying, fucking everyone in the country over with their lies, and being hypocritical religious zealots. Now I’m angry at Democrats too for failing to do what they’re there for, which is competently represent the rest of us.

No no no Mike Pence, if you want to protest you have to do it on your own time. Let’s start a campaign to get back our money for what he was paid during this ceremony, shall we? Being VP doesn’t stop at the office.
