I am so proud to know a woman who asked a guy in DC to move his briefcase off the seat so she could sit her 8+ month preggo self down. He pretended he did not hear her, so at the next stop, she grabbed said briefcase and threw it out the door. She felt kind of guilty later, per her text to me. I still believe it was…

(this is not directed at you specifically, just more of general rant about this stupid argument)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the purity test. Of all the ways we liberals shoot ourselves in the foot, this one is my absolute favorite.

“Thanks for all the fish”?

“I don’t think it is such a critical public health issue that we should force parents into it.”

The title and the gimmick are bad enough. But knocking the towers of mattresses over and her smirking “we’ll never forget” is absolutely vile. These people suck.

I’m choosing not to be cynical about this.

The other day I got to watch the young woman in front of me find a bunch of overpriced sorority gear. That was fun.

I felt the same way, and as a result decided to research into Operation Backpack. It might just be an organization in NY, but you fill a backpack for a child in need with things they’ll need for the year. I ultimately ended up purchasing general supplies for my neighbor who is a teacher to many needy and homeless…

I could never take notes on a computer either. Even as an adult, I have to write anything down that I actually want to remember.

“If I look out at at my classroom virtually none of them are using a notebook.”

Apropos of nothing, the one unequivocally awesome thing about getting older is not having that low-grade panic when you start seeing back to school sale commercials at the end of July.

Buying new school supplies for the year used to be my favorite thing. I loved all those crisp shiny new folders, unmarked notebooks and brand new colored pencils. I’d put a sticker with my name on it on every item in my stash. I seriously want to go buy school supplies now.

Panic attacks suck. They are the worst.

I would figure out a way to rise from the dead to kick some ass if that were me.

ugh. I hate that. I know many people who crashed or damaged their cars driving high. People say it’s no big deal because they drive so slow when they are high anyway.

let me say it again:

I would be careful not to point fingers of greed. You don’t know what life is like for these people, now. One of the four is the aforementioned woman, with 2 dead children and permanent paralysis. I can’t even fucking imagine and that’s before you get to the day-to-day expensive practicalities of living with a…

I had turned on the television to watch SNL, and I actually thought the ‘breaking news’ bit was an SNL skit until I realized, it wasn’t...
