Threatening an elderly nun with no income, who is not eligible for social security, who has dedicated her life to the church by cutting off her access to healthcare is beyond fucked up. That is literally Trump level shit, except he used a special needs infant to strong arm his niece and nephew. It is heartless and…

Throughout this story’s lifecycle I was all Meh, not Katy’s fault, the archdiocese is the obvious problem, and the nuns’ slut-shaming ain’t cool either.

Nuns always get the short end of the stick. They do more good work and are more open and understanding than most of their male counterparts yet still have to bow to the catholic patriarchy. It’s gross.

You gave me the Red Woman in Game of Thrones S6 reveal chills.

Because turning into a hotel/restaurant/night club won’t encourage sluttery. It’s probably best for the property (historic?) and the neighborhood if it stays a residence.

Agreed. The reason why they catch so much shit is because they are the quintessential sellout generation. Their parents lived hard lives, and used their power to create a system that would provide good support for future generations. And to their credit, the Boomers had fantastic ideals early on! But once they faced…

Even that you could at least respect a bit. The really obnoxious part is turning around and throwing jeers at the future generations for failing to think ahead and build their own ladders despite the Baby Boomers just using the ones others built for them.

This is basically what my mother said, too. The author of the book talks about the inability of the sociopath to think or plan ahead or to have empathy for others. I think that is a significant marker of that generation—particularly when we look at debt, entitlements, social security, the environment, etc. It’s…

I will needlepoint that onto a cushion. A slogan for the ages.

What I love about him is how he has TOTALLY transcended race in America.

That’s pretty damned healthy. Cheers (with a boxed wine vintage, natch).

Thanks.

PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!

I called President Putin of Russia to congratulate him on his election victory (in past, Obama called him also).

We have to let Democratic votes count? IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!

I’m so sorry that happened to you, and I’m so very glad that you had your brother and Mr. Rogers to support and validate you.

I love how these ghouls trying to hide their bigoted anti-trans agenda behind concern for women seem completely oblivious to the fact that they aren’t fooling anyone with two brain cells to rub together. We all know they don’t give a shit about women, cis or trans.

I pray that nothing terrible ever comes out about Mr. Rogers, and he really was as wonderful a person as he seemed, because if I have to deal with a Mr. Rogers #metoo or something, I don’t know what I will do with myself. It’s not a world worth living in if Mr. Rogers isn’t the amazing person I think he is. But it’s…

I made it through the trailer without crying, but all these comments about how Fred Rogers was a stand in grandfather and brought stability to a child’s dysfunctional home are making me weep. I’m so glad he was important to so many children.

I am trying not to be super salty about this because any improvement would be good but for fuck’s sake. It is REALLY HARD for me to be rooting for better paternity policies for men (especially in other countries) when the maternity policies here in the US are still a goddamn crapshoot. I know it’s not the point of the…
