To be fair, Gore DID win more votes, it was the electoral system and the Supreme Court that fucked that up.

I’ll take a different approach. I think a lot of her other policies are actually a major issue against women. Namely, she is much much more hawkish and sorry but wars we perpetuate harm a lot of women. Her stances on education where she is right in line with the corporate education reformers who would love to see…

Uh, Greenfield is not economic misery- I’ve lived there since ‘07. It is a mostly residential neighborhood and the rents have gotten high because it is super convenient to the universities and slightly cheaper than Squirrel Hill. Now I question your whole thing because if you knew jackshit, you’d have said Hazelwood.

You didn't mention that Macy's itself is closing another round of stores because their sales across the board were bad. It's not like the closing is Pittsburgh specific, stores from Cali to Virginia are closing and standalone dept stores are less and less commonplace across the country and have been for years now.

To be fair, the city limits of Pittsburgh proper are actually QUITE small compared to other cities. The county serves 2 million and has grown.

Uh...he hasn't been mayor in now a decade. The city has changed a lot since then.

Hey now- downtown is busy until like 6:30 now with all the new restaurants 😉 I think Pittsburgh itself is fine and thriving (we blew up one of our bridges for a new one yay!) but there are greater metro areas suffering still, like a lot of rural exurbs. Uniontown, Fayette-nam, some Mon Valley areas and areas in…

No lies- that series has held up really well over time. We MST3K a lot of the stories we read, but for Animorphs we actually get into it.

Haha omg, that and blogging about education would be my dream job! The best part about SVH are the differences in the reprints from the 80s to the 00s. For example, in the 80s version, the twins’ older brother literally commands his sister to make him a sandwich (I was dying) and she does it. Then in the 00s version,…

Oh it was Colbert? I thought it was on Jimmy Fallon’s show. Damn.

They’re brain candy I swear! (I’ve read almost all of them too.)

No actually! We do a mix actually- we’ve done Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Pretty Little Liars andd ‘arry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. :) Always taking recs as well!

I will join whatever Emma Watson is joining! If she ever wants to join my snarky book club podcast, Super Serials, we chat about serial young adult/middle grades books, like Animorphs and Babysitter’s Club, I'd be over the moon. Though truthfully, a lot of the stories we keep finding out aren’t exactly the most…

I believe she actually studied public health policy. Don't quote me on that but I think she did which is also why this is so important to her.

Well part of the problem is we play this whole “but it’s a constitutional right” bullshit. Even though it literally says in there “well regulated militia” and last I checked, an individual is NOT a well-regulated militia. Additionally, the guns that existed of yesteryear are vastly different from today. I strongly…

I’m so sorry. Terrible car accidents are so traumatic. Although, I do think we should stop calling them accidents and call them intentions. You should also lose your license forever (or at least 10 years to start with) automatically. You should not be allowed a “second chance”. I think if the consequences were actual…

I understand it is a taxing process but in the words of my first grade teacher “it’s not all about you”. This case is even more muddy as they already have children together. So even if the exhusband relinquishes his parental rights he is what? Going to pick up the two kids he did agree to while the other siblings…

However for those medical issues there are actually much better, more effective treatments without cancer risks, like light box therapy, red light therapy, etc. A general MD may have suggested going to a tanning bed, but derms worth their salt would never ever suggest that because the risks are so great and…

From all the old women I’ve ever worked with: sure we said it wasn’t “okay” to do that, but uh, everyone did. My grandma told me all about the shit her and her girlfriends did ‘back in the day’ and it is the same shit we do now. There was all sorts of sexual impropriety going on, but historically we only remember what…

If it is about a woman’s own self-determination against society, why is the man asking not to hurt his pride, as he sings in the song? Surely, he would understand if she was trying to buck society. So the song is either about complete double standards (he can be a whore and say don’t hurt my pride, basically please…
