I did like Red Dawn, so there’s that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally, something to make us appreciate Patrick Swayze’s acting.

I urged my bestie to break up with her boyfriend once because he was being controlling and douchey and not meeting her halfway (literally - they were long distance and he refused to visit her bc he didn’t like the city we lived in, so she spent a lot of time visiting him and not building relationships where we lived)…

And both groups of people are products of a lot of interracial mixing. In other words, racists aren’t just ugly on the inside.

I actually work for HMH (not on SS materials, though). When we’re writing about such sensitive topics in textbooks, it’s a tightwire act, particularly with Texas. It’s bound to come off as clumsy because we hate having to kowtow to their awful prejudices enshrined in their state standards (which are legally binding…

No such thing as a kind slave owner. The keyboard should just catch fire if someone tries to write that. Would you write, “some rapist treated their rape victims fairly well”? NO.

haha can you imagine the kind of person who listens to Snooki’s podcast

Newsflash - people have a really hard time being in long term monogamous relationships and society’s weird, unnecessary and CONSTANT shaking finger makes it harder for people to just be able to admit that to themselves, and find relationships that DO work for them. But SURPRISE when you guilt them into obeying…

Probably no one will ever get to this comment but I’ll leave it anway.

I’m a strict “nope, I’m not giving you a wedding gift, you are an adult” person. And I am also a “HAHAHAHAHA you want me to help pay for your honeymoon? HAHAHAHAAAAA NOT HAPPENING” person.

I don’t know, but if I have to clap excitedly over someone opening a fucking vacuum ever again, I’m gonna do something violent

Hate it when women do this. Why do we have to wear the same outfits? What are we seven?

One wedding I went to I actually got pretty angry over the registry. The couple had been living together for more than two years, and owned a house together. The registry was composed almost entirely of super expensive luxury items, including multiple $600 sheet sets so they could have all the colors because they felt…

I’m in a pissy mood because I just got an email about this bachelorette party I’m going to in 2 weeks instructing all of us on what color dresses we are allowed to wear. Blue on night one, black on night two. I already bought my dresses a few weeks ago, and luckily they will work, but what the fuck? How about we just…

We had a co-ed bridal shower, and it was great. My aunt and uncle hosted it at their house, and all my uncles, brothers, and male cousins were there with their female counterparts. We had normal party food, beer, and a version of the Newlywed Game made hilarious by hearing my long-married relatives’ answers. After we…

Preach! And with every event a mandatory tithing! Registries made sense when people weren’t living on their own/ with their spouse before the wedding, but these days? Everyone I know getting married has lived with their significant other for years. They have apartments full of crap, why do you need a crystal punch…

I’m not at all cool, but let’s all collectively pretend like I am cool in the ways you just described

It’s cool. I’ve noticed Anna gets a lot of, “you’re pretty ok at this for a gal!” type stuff, like everyone is in a 1940’s movie tipping their hat back and chewing on a cigar.
