In grad school, I desperately wanted to work for a major development NGO. However, to do you basically have to be able to do an internship where you work for free in DC or NYC- something I couldn’t even consider. However, the wealthier students definitely could- so then you end up with people with zero understanding…

Yea I know. It’s so odd. He is a true advocate and actually puts his money where his mouth is. Also, he’s probably right. :(

I guess I suck too because I 💯 believe Trump will win.  I’ve lost all faith in America. I drive all my friends crazy Bc I have zero hope. I hate trump and his politics with my whole heart and soul, but I just don’t see him losing. 

That is spot on! Also I’m pretty sure that movie explains how Trump understands how weather works. 

Omg my sweet little Italian greyhound was the best sleeping partner ever. She slept all night under the covers, head on the pillow in the crook of my arm. I still haven’t slept well since she’s been gone. Sometimes my kitten will sleep on my pillow and purr next to my head- that is the next best thing to a cuddly dog. 

My sweet baby Italian greyhound April (she is in doggie heaven and I’ll never get over it) made me find love in all whippets, greyhounds, and Italian greyhounds. Needless to say, I was very emotionally invested in Whiskey. 

Ok a Carmel apple sangria is everything. It’s a bottle of white (I use Sauvignon blanc), Carmel vodka, apple cider, and a chopped apple. It’s DELICIOUS. 

I’m not a beacon of ethical behavior in all things, but I guess using my personal email for professional correspondence wouldn’t cross my mind. 

I just don’t even understand why.  I am a lowly employee within a school and I would never send any work email from anything but my worksite. I don’t even have it in my personal devices- just an encrypted device provided by my employer. How difficult is it to just use the official email? 

Damn I’d be feeling good if I had $7000 in savings! 

None if this surprises me. As institutions, higher ed organizations are not interested in anything but money. In full disclosure- i work for one. Individuals within the organization do care, but as a whole, they are just machines pushing for metrics to hold on to more money. This poor girl would also not be eligible…

Yes! I worked right by the park in Orlando and people were so ugly about it. They just didn’t want to have to see the homeless- it had zero to do with food safety. 

If it’s anything like the Florida situation, it had zero to do with any concern about food safety and everything to do with people not wanting to have homeless people gathered together where they might have to actually see them. 

I used to work right next to the park where the Food not Bombs volunteers would distribute food. Obviously, the concerns about giving out the food had ZERO to do with “food safety” and everything to do with people not wanting homeless in the park. We would have kids play in the park and parents would freak out that…

This is insane. I mean, how completely out of touch is this brand? It’s funny that their target demographic is not at interested in their brand. My stepdaughter is now 19 and she and her friends would never buy anything from there. A few years ago they loved the Pink brand, but now she said she “too old” for it. She…

I can wrap my mind around people voting for Cruz Bc they’d vote R for a ham sandwich, but I can never understand that there are actually people that LIKE Cruz. It seriously freaks me out. 

Omg I know you’re joking about the mail thing, but literally there was a comment war on the local newspaper in Louisville, KY, where people were literally arguing that people would steal ballots from your mailbox... god help us. 

WElcome to Kentucky- you cannot vote early, no vote by mail, and polls close at 6 pm. Plus getting an absentee ballot is a complete exercise in frustration. Your jobs supposed to guarantee 2 hrs off to vote, but many places are pretty shitty about it. 

The sad part is that selling this type of politics is so so easy. It’s easiky digestible, simple, and requires zero soul searching or sacrifice. Actual political change is hard and boring and requires caring about something beside yourself. It’s like trying to sell broccoli, which is healthy and not fun and what you…

He actually enjoyed it! It was adorable. He wore it out entire party.
