I fucking love raisinettes, but “wine and chocolate abortion” is hilariously accurate and made me howl for like 2 minutes straight.

Anybody would rather sit with the strippers.

You are spot on! I for one can’t stand action films or any trope-y bro dude joint. There is only widespread lambasting of romcoms bc they are directed toward female storylines and/or audiences. psshh w/e

while i am far from believing that every rom-com is good (and i know because i’ve seen Because I Said So...twice), i do think that at least some of the reason we all think “rom-coms suck” is because they are traditionally considered “chick flicks”?

And I looked, and behold a brown horse: and his name that sat on him was Deuce, and Feces followed with him.

They want to HERD ALL THE THINGS and are not lay around dogs!

You survived but what about the kids that didn't?

“It is about defending the fundamental freedom of a parent to make an informed decision.”

My vet told me that she sees a lot of behavioral problems with Corgis because people buy them on the cute factor alone and aren’t prepared to deal with their breed personality, which tends toward high intelligence, apparently disproportionate energy level and stubbornness. They’re working dogs and many people don’t…

Until you discover the Siborgi.

This is the correct face to make whilst being pet by Her Majesty.

I honestly wasn’t expecting my story to be featured or the response I’ve gotten because of it. Pokemon, and video games in general, have become my main way for opening up conversations with people.

As a tween-related side note, the American Girl puberty-explaining books called The Care and Keeping of You for tweens are excellent. They explain everything that’s going on and what your options are (Don’t want to shave? Fine! Do want to shave? Here’s how to do it safely. WTF with periods and options for…

Yeah, it wasn’t a great part and she’s not a great actress.

OH! OH! ME! ME! Can I tell my Shirley Temple story? Of course, I’ve totally screwed up the punchline just by the subject, but here goes: 8 or so years ago, maybe 10, I was in the local market in Woodside, CA. I grew up in the area and I am in my 50s, so I’ve met a lot of people and I am pretty terrible with facial…

In 7th grade, I chose to give a presentation on Shirley Temple Black and her post-Hollywood career. I think the assigned topic was just inspirational women or something. The internet wasn’t so hot back then, so I wrote her a letter, hoping for a form letter from her secretary to include in my report. Instead I…

I teach Mockingbird. I am black and southern. I never thought an Atticus Finch would have had me over for dinner. Yet, I’ve had white students identify with this character and want to believe so badly that they too would be the heroic, bucking the system, society-be-damned progressive during that era. No one wants to…
