My (half)sister and brother still love and keep in touch with my stepfather. The man is a toxic waste of fucking space. He’s an alcoholic who’s never achieved anything in life besides fathering some wonderful people on women who deserved better than him. He beat my mother for years. He’s accused my sister of “being a…

Your mom sounds a lot like mine. I remember trying to confide in people only to be told I must be exaggerating or outright making it up because mothers didn’t act like that. And I hadn’t even shared the bad stuff yet. So that was just another way I was traumatized. It made me turn the whole thing into a joke or super…

This woman is my hero.

Definitely Don’t Go For That....I feel very strongly about this.

Yes, but they were in AMERICA. In America, we clamp down on your hand like a vice, stare directly into your eyes as a display of dominance and shake until a little bit of poop falls out.

Like Seth Myers observed: The Presidency is supposed to age the President, not the rest of us.

I know!!! Amazing.

This. Though, another angle is that I’d be so boring that her insulting me would be entertainment in itself and probably must-see TV.

“She was unqualified to own those shoes.”

Clooney said for years that he would never marry again, and that he would definitely not have kids.

Am I the only one disappointed by this? I mean, every time celebs who said they didn’t want kids decide to get prego, I get a little sad.

YES.

Tiffany Pollard looks excellent. Like probably the best she has ever looked.
