Well, shoot, if he’s using them for weight control, somebody needs to tell him they’re not working.

What is the “Lord GUATEMALAN”? I am imagining a Q’uq’umatz-like feathered serpant.

To be grown up men who are hired to protect the public regardless of their opinion they are very sensitive and emotional. As a woman I always heard that was a bad trait so I’m confused.

My dad was a fairly conservative minister. I remember the look on his face when I explained what purity rings and purity balls were, because they were trending at the time in our community. He didn't know they were a thing. He told me, "That's a personal choice of yours. It has nothing to do with me. You are my…

Yeah. In my opinion it’s not just about venting, it’s about the kind of comments they’re making. And these comments are fucking juvenile. They sound like whiny kids themselves.

At times, teachers do need to vent about students. It can be frustrating and wearing at times. The difference is we don’t wish them to fail or mock them for not knowing things. The things they were saying move past the line of venting to being mean. Frankly, they were dumb as hell to write it down.

These are the people who have control over these children’s grades, while blatantly saying “I hope he fails.” That is more than blowing off steam. That is a teacher I wouldn’t trust to educate and fairly grade my child.

I would respectfully suggest that understanding that nothing posted online is ever private is a more vital life skill than knowing how to correctly spell Ta-Nehisi Coates.

You know, if it were just teachers making sarcastic, exasperated remarks and blowing off steam, I would think nothing of it. But to refer to children as fucking idiots and hope they fail—while being part of the group that can actually make that happen—goes too far. I had a teacher who had it out for in 7th grade and…

The little fact that got me was that one of the guys who found her couldn’t give his statement when the police arrived because he was crying so hard. There is a man who was assaulting an unconscious woman and his family and friends keep telling us how good a guy he was and then there is a man who chased him down and…

Thank you. It’s making me insane that not one person has put blame on the zoo for designing an enclosure to house an endangered animal that a four-year-old could break into. Instead everyone would rather blame the mother because there’s nothing society loves more than a round of mommy-shaming.

I know. I’m gonna miss watching his totally hot and intelligent but approachable dad thing but I. CANNOT. WAIT. for uncensored Michelle Obama. Oh my god it is gonna be so epic I can’t. I just aargh the feels and the amazingness of the things and all the I can’t with the words.

Let’s see - one of the women found in his home was chained to a pole because she’d tried to escape. Sound familiar? You have no idea if she was actually the mother of one of his children, if any of his seven kids were the result of consensual sex, or, indeed, if any of the women who currently have custody of them are…

The important thing is that in this story about a monstrous man you were still able to find a way to demonize the women he associated with who didn’t imprison or rape anyone.

I sure hope that all 7 of his children (how?! who??)

Again:

The insanity defense also includes a lack of ability to understand the criminal nature of one’s act as a result of their mental illness, not just the inability to tell right from wrong. So someone who thought he was acting in self defense because he was delusional could qualify.

He did help. This is a really cool story, ruined by a ridiculous writer.

Actually, if you take a look at the Rocking the Cradle report mentioned in the linked article, you’ll see that blind parents DO lose custody because they can’t see a clock. The point is, parents with all kinds of disabilities lose custody BECAUSE they are disabled, not because they can’t parent. I use a wheelchair and…
