But not, like, *totally* reasonable. Still batty enough to have his PR team require a correction about supporting Black Lives Matter. I do appreciate his “and I should know from crazy” comment, though.

Glenn Beck trying to be the voice of reason?!?!!!!!

Jesus, this, next to terrorism, is my biggest fear in NYC. I always stand far back from the yellow line when the train is coming in and try to stand near a pillar (because I think that I could grab onto it. I probably couldn’t. But. You know).

Fav quotes:

I picture ALL these people writing their emails on the toilet.

All bark and no bite!

This frustrates me so much as an actual Bernie supporter. Been listening to him on Thom Hartmann’s show for years. Any Bernie supporter voting for Stein, Johnson, Trump, or even Bernie in the general is *not* a Bernie supporter.

Unless you can prove that Manning is being treated any different than anyone else who committed the same crimes and who is repeatedly attempting suicide, being put in solitary for that is a non-story.

Um, she was never a stable person to begin with.

The government has bent over backward for her. She wanted a different haircut, she got it. She wanted women’s clothes, she got it. She wanted hormones, she got them. She wanted surgery, she got it.

This is essentially like pulling out when she is 37 weeks pregnant. It’s a tad too late.

It’s like their attitude is that they feel like strangers owe them the feeling like they’re happy to see them while they simultaneously treat those people like they’re beneath them. I’ve actually decided not to have second dates over this bullshit, it’s not cute when adults act like entitled emotionally fragile babies.

What blows my mind are the complaints from customers. I’ve had conversations with several different people who complain about unsmiling service employees and I’m just like “why do you even care??” And they act like I’m the unreasonable one.

Not just the moms! In my old neighbourhood, the guy across the street was a stay-at-home dad who, like me, was a freelancer in a creative field. At a neighbourhood party we got to chatting, found we had a lot in common, and he ACTUALLY SAID TO ME “it’s a shame you don’t have kids-” [he had one preschooler] “-because…

That IS bravery. What you described, putting yourself through all the chilly bullshit you invariably get when you socialize with people who invariably expect you to be on Team Reproduction #1? That takes bravery. People change their lives by having children they utterly don’t WANT just to avoid that kind of social…

I’m in my early 30s and have never wanted kids (it was a factor in a long term relationship breaking up, etc). We were talking about people’s babies at work one day (most of my co workers are older enough than me to have daughters who are having lots of babies) and someone asked me if I want kids. I said no, I never…

My favorite is the “you’ll change your mind.” fuck.off. do not tell me I am incapable of knowing what I want or implying that I am incapable of using reason over evolutionary bodily desires. If I don’t want a kid I certainly don’t want one more because you condescended to me in an alarmingly sexist way. 

It’s more likely a bit of jealousy or maybe pity? I’ve known a few women who think being a mother is the greatest, end all, best thing they’ve ever done (or any woman could ever experience). These women looked at my childlessness as either a sign of immaturity or pity for my empty existence.

Yeah, I’m almost 40, and my mom is starting to get it... it feels like victory.

The good news for childless women: people mostly lay off when you hit 40 (if you’re single, at least). I think they’re afraid I’ll blow my brains out if reminded I’m a childless spinster. So I feel no pressure AND I (mostly) get to do whatever the fuck I want, whenever I want. (I still have to go to work and shit.)
