John Mayer shoulda just stuck to making music.

to which marco replied “because i’d be lonely without you”

“Frog-fucking pig” is my new go-to put-down. Try it out “You, my dear are nothing but a frog-fucking pig!” But never say it to a lover, cuz then you are calling yourself a frog AND a pig-fucker.

NOPE. you are not supposed to rinse the flouride treatment that you get at the dentist. it is not the same as the toothpaste you use. ZERO cavities here in my 40's. rinsing after brushing has worked for me all my life. Plus flouride is not that good for you, so yeah, rinse that stuff

“other than a psychological condition.” bc, who gives a fuck if a forced pregnancy and birth makes you sink into suicidal depression or a violent and or unending psychosis. FUCK THESE FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT DISGUISED AS LAWMAKERS

yes. i worked in a law firm that had some pretty decent diversity numbers, but only bc they had a rule that any minority candidate for any position automatically got an interview. this is to make up for generations where the firm was only white, so how do white people pass their privilege on—through their social

probably didn’t happen, BUT from what i have heard, MT was kinda awful about women having bodily autonomy.

yes! and maybe he would have just killed himself. or tried to and been found and received the help he needed to not being a selfish, murderous creep/sicko. but yes, if there is one thing my kids will learn to do before they go off to college (long time from now) it’s gonna be to lock their doors, goddammit! it’s such

i never heard of that angle of her story until a few months ago. it should have been front and center in the media and in her defense. those kids might still be alive if she had not been pushed to get pregnant one more time despite her illness.

thank you.

the are doing this crap in the tradition of the KKK. it’s not that funny if you are Black. Fine if people make jokes, but I want the feds to take them seriously and treat them like the terrorists they are (look up the definition of terrorist if you don’t understand why some of us are calling them that).

i cringed watching her doing this with college students, but she makes a lot of good points—especially that at any time the class gets to be too much, too uncomfortable, too hurtful, a member of the blue-eyed group can walk out and be back in a society will not subject them to those things based on their melanin

it’s poignant for us olds who have kids who are moving from childhood into tweenhood. i bawled my eyes out the whole movie. i won’t even let my husband see it bc he is a big movie cryer and i am not in the mood for that sort of thing. the kids thought it was fun.

i would agree if this were a tribute to AF, but it was a tribute to CK, so it kinda sorta is not totally the same thing you are talking about. That said, and I do really appreciate some CK, it was distracting after a bit—the first few reactions and the end reaction shots were all necessary given the occassion, but the

it’s not about changing norms, it’s about two very different interpretations of the song. if you were raised to believe that women should not be sexual or can only be sexual after they are married, then the song might mean one thing to you. I DO think the line about the drink makes it suspect. I DO think that one

the article i read sheds no light on why she waited so long. did she seek one earlier and not get it bc she was turned away for some reason? was she afraid to go to a PP office bc, you know, crazy “pro-lifers” shoot people there? was she nuts to begin with? was she maybe developmentally disabled and just didn’t get

what if the fetus comes out totally fine except for needing basic preemie breathing support temporarily (as most really early preemies do)? just kill the baby? i think once you have a viable baby born, things change. I also believe that there is a very good chance that the long-term prognosis as reported is so “dire”

and “thoughts”, don’t forget “thoughts”

no newborn would survive if left to its own devices!

he could get a lung transplant, or they could be wrong about his prognosis. you just can’t know at this point. I think the woman should NOT be charged, but once that fetus was born, it’s a baby and it is understandable that docs tried to save the baby at that point.
