Now I can feel that much better about my Target addiction. Buy ALL THE THINGS from the dollar spot!

I truly don’t understand how many of these folks are the same ones who yell, “If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns!!!1!” and then argue that outlawing “men” from women’s bathrooms (I use quotes because trans women aren’t men, in case that isn’t clear) will keep predators out of the bathroom. Cool.

It really sucks when you go into a profession because you want to help people, and then you can’t. For whatever reason— and it seems that all those reasons usually boil down to money. It is so painful to feel helpless.

As a Type A overachiever, it infuriated me always how my tendency to over function to compensate for others’ under functioning resulted in their benefit at the expense of my mental energy/health. If the world were fair, those do-nothingers would reap what they sow, but alas. Regardless, I appreciate your passion and…

Here is my rant into my safe little echo chamber:

I want in on this playgroup.

I constantly have to confront that level of BS when people comment that my daughter (with three older brothers) has all these boys to take care of her. It’s infuriating.

Well, the Almighty God could change when you ovulate and therefore get you pregnant with a child that was God’s will. Unfortunately, birth control > God, so that meant to be child won't be. He can create a world but can't figure a way around a tiny pill.

Add it to the list of “things one shouldn’t say” when offering condolences.

I interviewed for a social work job, my first job interview since moving to a new state, and nearly wept when they talked about how much their services have expanded and how much expansion they're anticipating over the next year. I come from a state where I went to one of the best social work programs in the nation,…

Yup. I got married at the stupid age of 21 and that ring I just *had to have* is in a lock box. Marriage is great. I don't need a ring to make it so.

That's God voting you out.

Hillary actually should only have to pay for 78% of services received.

Boo. The commenters are really the strongest reason to stick around at this point.
