I’m going to put this little nugget away for the next time there’s any kind of Iggy v. Azalea kerfuffle. What a perefect and all-encompassing means to simultaneously impugn someone’s intelligence, morals, connection to reality, and decency: call them a Trump supporter.

It always seemed weird to me that the US has an entire federal agency just to deal with crimes committed by sailors and another which is pretty much only in existence to prosecute drugs.

The problems with our police departments require many solutions, not just one. Some of them are:

Yup. Some of them are all too happy to do it or stand back while their colleagues do it. They also have no problem participating in the horrible treatment of anyone they can get away with treating like that. That’s what the cops are there to do, along with protect the property of people with a few bucks. Protect and…

The problem isn’t just that there aren’t enough Black cops, though, and they know it. Even Black cops profile Black people, and cops of all races beat, intimidate, frame, and rape people. THE PROBLEM IS THE COPS, PERIOD.

You have to be savvy to be a leader in this country, much less a black one. I really hope he effects real change. That’s all I can say.

I don’t really know how to classify the state of my marriage but this has also been my experience. My son and I are so much more in tune, I’ve managed to correct multiple behaviour issues that seemed insurmountable when my husband was home... I’m just so much more focused and at peace. I imagine a large part of it is…

They are as a whole, pants shitingly terrified of losing power and being treated as they’ve been treating others.

so hard. don’t know if it’s economically feasible to part, but if so, its easier to parent kids who aren’t living in a toxic environment.

So there’s a reason that Sheryl gives a shout out to women with missing *or unsupportive* partners. I think probably having a partner who constantly is shredding your self worth may be worse than going it alone.

I remember, oddly enough, watching Robert Downey Jr.’s interview on Inside the Actor’s Studio several years ago. Lipton was asking about what he was like to work with as an actor on set, and he basically framed his response around the idea that to be unprepared or to waste time quibbling about “not feeling the…

One of the best things a prof. ever told me was that to be a successful artist, you had to also be a successful businessperson. You set a schedule. You work. You keep inventory. You put a price on your time. If you are an artist, your job is your art. Don’t treat it any differently than waiting tables or sitting in a…

I fell in love and never fell out.

But the dumber the kid the better they vote for people like Trump. When they said dumbing down of America, this is what you get.

This isn’t at all surprising that a campus administration would do this sort of thing. Let me take a wild guess as to what the admin response will be: meetings will be scheduled with the president of the college and the director of student affairs, coalitions will be created to really study the issue and involve the…

Predictable accusations of falsification aside, even if it’s illegal in your current state and/or ends up inadmissable in court, at least you can publicly shame them for mistreating victims of a violent crime and show that they use coercion rather than human decency in handling rape on campus.

Moms who allow themselves to have an identity beside being “MOM” are the best.

My boss told me today I could go home early if I needed to because I was getting a little upset about my aunt. She said I cover for people so much that if I needed time for myself to take it. It was nice to hear that. Not everyone gets that support.

Or “I started this drama and now I’m pretending you did so I don’t look bad”

IMO, “I hate drama” either means “I am scared of people that emote” or “I want to gaslight you and not be called out on it.”
