This is also why Republicans want to defund public schools and looooove school vouchers. The dumbing down of America is one of their long-term objectives, because a poorly educated electorate is easier to manipulate using fear-based messaging rather than policy discussions.

I like to play around with my hair and push them up into these hair bump things, but mine flop over unless my hands are pushing them into position. I would not have made a good pinup girl.

We all know racism exists at all levels and segments of global society, but for that Italian gymnast to tell international media “maybe we should paint our skin black to win a medal too” still shocked me. And it shouldn’t. My sister-in-law/friend since high school is half Mexican, but she has blond hair, light skin,…

Hello. I’m also in Arizona, am a tribal member, and we are planning on adopting after grad school. Because I know the process takes a long time, I called my husband’s tribe’s Child Welfare Division about 8 months ago just to get initial discussions going, and I was shocked at how fast they wanted to proceed. It may…

Can you give details on the French press? I hope you feel well soon.

Just in case you didn’t know the Penzey’s founder/CEO is part of the resistance. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/ceo-who-called-trump-racist-penzeys-spice-mix

Oof that was hard to read. My dad has incurable, only treatable cancer, and your words put an anticipatory ache into me. The love for your dad shows. Sometimes we say it with homemade doughnuts.

When I was a Head Start teacher (sooooo much more paperwork than being a kindergarten teacher, we also had to mop and vacuum our own floors, sanitize toys and tables everyday, and I spent a lot more out of pocket on changing up the dramatic play area, but I digress), we had banana dogs on the breakfast menu. Banana…

It is very bad. It made me hearken back to a few weeks ago when Andrew Herrera, the Remezcla CEO, publicly responded to allegations of workplace sexism by promising to lead Remezecla to greater cultural relevance. Both men are doubling down on their image as symbolic leaders. When news breaks that they have been…

I’m multiracial, and worked for 7 years as a home visitor/early interventionist in two tribal communities in the Southwest. One community is the tribe I’m enrolled in, and the other was not. Spanking is/was rampant in the homes I worked in, and for Indigenous people, I think it’s a remnant of when our children were for…

This is like if Papa John’s Pizza gave away free BLM stickers with any order over $25. This is just a market reaction of the NFL trying to get viewers back, and it’s sad because there are other things the league could be doing to build capacity. Screen printing stickers is not it. Will continue to boycott.

Hard to tell. I drink maybe 3 times a year if that, and have been eating the watermelon wedges and catching no buzz at all. So if they had a kick, I would know.

I also improvised, because Martha’s recipe wanted you to heat the tequila, triple sec, sugar, and water together, but I had simple syrup on hand from mojitos,…

The first batch was made with Jose Cuervo, but for the next watermelon we pick, I’m going…

I did Martha’s tequila-soaked watermelon wedges with the first watermelon I ever grew, and it really turned quarantine around. They give no buzz at all, since each watermelon wedge probably provides like 1/3 teaspoon tequila per wedge, but they are delicious, and we just keep them on hand prepped in the fridge now. Tha…

Yep, it happens both ways. My ex-in-laws are liberals. They have adopted kids and biological kids. Two of the adopted kids are right-wing, and one of them went into politics, and works for one of the wealthiest members of Congress, whose Wiki page says he votes with Twitler 93% of the time. This Congressman was the…

Kayleigh McYannyny

Knowing the way she stans for that Skittle-haired manchild, he’ll be the godfather.

No, but she will make that guy with the Skittles-colored hair the godfather.

That’s probably where hatestupidpeople 1-4 died. (check the obvious burner/troll name)

As a parent, let me assure that you are right. Love my husband & kid and all that jazz, but they are a drag during quarantine in their own ways and I don’t mind saying so. Everyone needs time to fall back from the people they love. And I know I get on their last nerve too.
