I honestly think that people who struggle with mental health and chronic conditions should be excluded from this. But it’s so overused, that I’m sure not everyone saying it has some sort of actual “limited spoons” situation, ya know??

I can’t use hormonal bc, and condoms sometimes give me a rash. We had a 100% effectiveness rate with pull and pray. While both my kids were “accidental” in theory, both times it was because he finished inside. Of course, when we were done having kids, he got snipped because then there was no iffiness.....

The shooter in Colorado was “very Christian.” Conclusion? Religion is the root of much evil.

Er......most people would call my husband “white” (since he is) but he has an Arabic name. His father is from the ME - and looks like my 100% Polish grandfather. There are many colors in the Arab/Middle Eastern rainbow.....

Does he do anything artistic now? I worry my artistic son will give it up , he’s pretty amazing. But our school art teacher is a crusher of imaginations.

Catholic school survivor as well. In first grade, my teacher stood me in front of the class and told everyone I was Satan spawn because I’d colored the face ofa leaf elf (horrific leaf with a head monstrosity) with a red crayon. She also made fun of the gray tail I have my brown squirrel (to this day I feel triumph…

Some day, I will learn enough Arabic....mainly so I can talk about assholes in public and they will think I’m plotting shit.....and so I can speak with Mr Buttons in one of his languages!

Placing an object on a pedestal is so very odd to me. But as an atheist, I don’t tend to see the point in deifying things.

You should, they are fantastic cooks. ;)

I did not know that, just thought it was a name! lol.

I think what we’re seeing unfold is going to be similar to the Reformation, etc. I’m just hoping we can avoid The Inquisition.

It’s kind of sad to me that this is even a thing anymore. It’s a piece of fabric. Let’s stop sanctifying stupid shit.....

She’s a Republican. She’s not condescending to anything.

Or hang it with the blue field point the wrong ordinal direction......or hang it upside down......

I saw fucking flag tp.......errrrr
