Shock is a luxury. No time for luxury anymore. Time to organize, protest, volunteer.

I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening. That loop has been playing in my head all day.

46.9%? Wtf America!

I think you made this all up. I refuse to believe politics can still be charming ;-)

$15/hour for three kids sounds cheap in my notoriously expensive neck of the woods.

I know! You don’t have to march in a P-FLAG parade, but if you love your daughter, slap that cousin upside the head for tattling and have a talk with your daughter about discretion. Jesus.

The fact that the law exists is bad enough, but I can’t wrap my head around the idea of a mother wanting her teenage daughter to be arrested and face jail time for this.

Isn’t it bizarre when you wind up in a little corner of the internet acting like a sleuth and trying to dissect drama that’s none of your business?? For a few weeks I was in this rabbit hole of some girl on tumblr who would beg for money and it turned out she just used it all on drugs and not her medical issues and…

It’s not really just giving a white supremacist a platform at a black college- there’s something perverse about denying the paying students access to the same space he’s allowed to spew filth in, protected by their school. If the school can’t keep the guest safe while allowing students to confront his heinous ideas…

They encroached on some other less animal.

This is a valid opinion, because coyotes do eat small pets and scream like banshees at unreasonable hours.

The school system is so fucking bureaucratic now that everything has to be investigated and approved before anything can be done. Goddamnit. We just failed an 11-year old. She couldn’t hang a fucking poster??

The bullying element has grown SO much now that kids have technology at their fingertips 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Used to you could go home and be safe from hate, but not anymore. Bullying (combined with mental health issues) is what landed my daughter in a psychiatric hospital last month with suicidal thoughts.…

Fuck you people who keep your guns ”hidden.”

Goddammit, lock that shit up in a gun safe and the bullets some place else.

I really enjoyed Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach, which has lots of information about different things that can happen to your body after you die (decomposition, donating it to science, etc)

her Ask a Mortician series is genius.

Maybe that’s what’s going to happen to you heathens but not to me! I plan on being really religious for the last few years of my life.

For more on the death business, I highly recommend Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, a half-memoir, half history of death by Caitlin Doughty (of Ask a Mortician fame). It’s incredibly illuminating and beautifully written to boot.

A busload of people and one person acts. (Eventually two.) That’s a scary level of apathy. I know someone is going to say that it was okay for them to not get involved because “you never know” but I’m going to preemptively say fuck that. The aggressor was totally outnumbered and no one had to get physical if they were…

Well, Trump and Pence always did have a problem with people who are flaming.
