I still watch certain episodes of both The Office and Parks & Rec and have to stomp my feet on the floor as I laugh so I don’t implode. What gifts they are!!

In this article the writer clearly is all giddy and thrilled that Roy,“...once snuck a cheetah out of a zoo and on to a cruise ship in a laundry bag...” where the animal then went on to being used and abused in magic tricks to amuse passengers. How fucking sick is that?

I just wish the folks running the sim would spring for the space expansion pack, I mean the preview freebies they got looked really cool, but now it just seems like they’re in the “fucking around” end stage of the game: “Let’s see what happens if I put an absolute moron in charge” “Let’s see what happens if we lock…

I could never rise to Monica Lewinsky’s level of magnanimity.

I remember being SO MAD when I was a kid and we moved from a house with stairs to a house without them. I had plenty of other reasons to be upset about the move but I was particularly salty about not being able to play all the weird stair games I’d played in the old house. 

UGH. My brother is a nurse and he was fucking enraged when he heard about that. They’re risking their lives and that absolute fucking asshole has the nerve to suggest that they’re selling their PPE?

My boomer uncle, who was always a little off and of course is a trumper, called me out of concern. Of course he starts out soft, but then always has to start in on how bad things could’ve been if ‘Killary’ had been in charge.

Yeah, still trying to decide whether the original post is trashing Pink or the idea of privilege.  Like, yeah, it’s unfair and that’s exactly why Pink made the post (and the massive donations).  Like, this is exactly what we yell at privileged people to do.

I’m Canadian - and we do have health care but believe me we still rely on the wealthy to donate to major parts of our hospital systems. I was treated at the Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrooke Hospital. Also at the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre. These are major components of the hospital that come from private…

Postcards After Hospice: She exhales, and we begin to learn how to live with the void of her absence

I’m still going into work, I work in a hospital, so...

Shelter Cat Update!

It was the eighties. Maybe there was coke?

Good on her though for recognizing her privilege and donating $1 million to trying to close the gap somehow.

She talks about how it’s unfair in her post.

gender reveals is stupid 

That’s cute! Your childhood memory reminds me of one of the stories in a Beverly Cleary book, when Ramona squeezes an entire tube of toothpaste into the sink:

My son did that, too! He’d sneak salt all the time— kosher salt, pink salt, Celtic sea salt, all the salt except Morton’s iodized (tastes metallicy to me so I never buy it). I used to tease him that I was gonna attach a salt lick to the wall beside his bed, so he could just take a lick when needed. And we have a…

I was a very advanced reader and “gifted,” so I was reading long before I knew all the words used in a book or could pronounce them correctly. I also was sensitive.

I'm SO late to this game. My ex. Thinking back on our time together makes me wince. We met on OKC and lots of red flags starting popping up within a few weeks (he was in his 30s and wanted to start a band...great except that he didn't play any instruments nor did he own any that he wanted to learn how to play, wanted…
