I do not believe in these types of programs, but as someone that’s lost 60 pounds over the last 3 years, I wish him all the best! I did it naturally over time, but I know some folks need to make changes quickly for health reasons.

When I started working at a women’s prison I was surprised at how much makeup many of the women wore (sometimes bought from commissary, sometimes made with other things they could get their hands on). Or how intricate some of their hair was. The prison where I worked also had a hair salon, run by the women who were…

A bunch or red-necks with rifles and other weapons took over a federal wildlife preserve for FUCKING WEEKS and weren’t labeled domestic terrorists, even after they made it clear that they would kill any law enforcement that came close. Timothy McVeigh blew up a fucking federal building killing dozens including…

When I was a little kid, my grandfather took me aside and gave me some advice. “Never say ‘you wanna kill’ somebody - ‘cause if that person ends up dead, they’ll come lookin’ for you.”

“if they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”

I’m going to do something I know in my heart of hearts I shouldn’t do here on this blogosphere. I’m going to talk about my insights of my own abusive relationship, but it won’t be from the one who was abused.

My guess is “talking to” in this context actually means “flirting with people of the opposite sex while acting like you are single.”

So, I’m pretty far from that callow orange dotard. :D

LW, from someone who’s been there: He will never change. It will only get worse. Leave now before he seriously hurts you. Go to thehotline.org for resources and help if you need to—and/or to your friend who’s been telling you to leave him! (There’s [almost] always a friend who sees it before you do.)

Next, a monument to Africans who captured and sold people into slavery, because, you know, whites are blameless.

For what it’s worth....my mother’s cousin is gay and he and his husband have been together for almost 45 years. They went from dating girls to cover up the “Shame”....to being “roommates”....to “good friends”....to “together”.....to being married and out and no one giving a shit anymore. So they have seen and heard…

Steve looked like half of Spy vs. Spy (though I can’t claim that one)...

Back in the olden days before cell phones and interwebs you could go out with someone, even more than once, and because things were slower, communication less instant and constant, getting ghosted was less painful. Answering machines were wonky, roommates flaky with messages, numbers juxtaposed, rejection was just…

I think we can all agree that The Mustache is doing God’s work, for our eyes.

Instead of bringing back Roseanne and Full House, bring this back. This was a great show.

I’m not going to even try to unpick the Cher stuff because that’s just a clusterfuck of already hot topics, though I will say that it shouldn’t be so hard to understand that while something was acceptable at the time it doesn’t mean it’s acceptable now and that idea doesn’t detract from any earlier significance it may…

Cher Will Not Apologize for Anything!

Part of my Internet gig involved heavy involvement in accessibility - so making sure stuff you could access via the Internet was accessible to those with disabilities. As such, I got to work with a lot of very nice people over the years to listen to their concerns, and some of them had actual service dogs.

Individuals like this woman continue to blur the lines between professionally trained, certified service animals and emotional support animals. It’s unacceptable. While I fully understand the invaluable benefits that our pets’ unconditional love and loyalty provide us (I have two dogs and a horse), it doesn’t give us…

You’ve got to keep your lie...........straight!
