My Lyft driver to the airport was an FBI agent with a sick kid. How much does that fucking suck?

Having watched someone pass away from multiple organ failure due to T.S.S., any piece written calling attention to anything that can be done to help prevent or shine a light on warning signs, I’m eternally grateful for. Educated information versus some celebrity with her “magic vagina rock” gives some meaning to her…

What was the essay about? You can’t say stuff like that without giving details!!!!

Yes. Children kept in immigration detention centres are suicidal - they are also sometimes so traumatised they become mute, they often self harm or fall into comas, they stop eating, and have severe depression. These issues can persist even once they’re free - it’s literally state imposed torture, with all the known…

I was in tears reading this interview. Calling my congresspeople hasn’t done a damn thing about anything, ever. I feel so helpless.

It was still rape in the book by the way. June says she has choices but under the law, die or be raped isn’t considered a real choice. You can’t consent freely if a gun is being pointed at you.

Rachel Bloom: Still the only good celebrity out there.

Political marriages among the elite don’t tell us much about what most people were doing. Here’s some information about marriage in Western Europe that covers the periods in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_European_marriage_pattern

Having watched their “cooking” show, I love this. I’m here for it. I want them to fall in love and for her to turn into a full blown pot head decked out in gold jewelry and rolling with him everywhere he goes. Bahahaha! Cracking myself up right now.

Oh you were actually there? I can only imagine how powerful that must’ve been.

Well my local march had volunteers with postcards to send to House Reps and an app to look them up, as well as voter registration volunteers, so there was a lot going on besides just the march. Also, there were a LOT of kids present. An angry crowd is scary AF when you’re waist high. 100s of 1000s of people don’t go…

This story makes me happy. I’m glad you were able to have a respectful (eventually), engaged discussion and it sounds like both sides came away better informed of the other’s thinking.

Just wrote basically the same thing before I saw your comment. Yeah, the march today in DC was very affecting. It was serious, passionate, and full of anger.

I cannot deny your own experience, but I will say, the march in DC was serious, passionate, and people were angry. I didn’t see people taking selfies or indulging in social media sharing, in fact, we all stood there listening to the speakers for three hours. There were tears, moments of connection, and arguments. It…

We just got back from the Dallas march. At the end of the march, our kiddo was a little overheated and overstimulated (he is on the spectrum, so the noise was getting to him), so we decided to rest by the rally, in the shade. A lot of other people had the same idea, but it wasn’t as crowded and noisy there.
Everything…

I share some of your reasons, along with others, but if someone is rude enough to ask, I don’t want a drink because I don’t want a drink. I don’t owe them an explanation and I won’t give them one. That’s all, no drama, but no explanation either.

I wish most people I would otherwise still be friends with would read this. I got tired of waiting for my friends to grow out of drinking at every opportunity so we’ve drifted. I feel like they all bonded over drinking. My husband is the only person my age I know who doesn’t drink for every occasion lol.

I really don’t understand why not drinking is an issue. I don’t drink. I ask the bartender for a coke or a ginger ale. Very rarely, far less than once a year, I’ll have a beer, or a glass of wine. When I do, I don’t usually finish it. I have multiple reasons for this, none of which are anyone’s business, but mine.

Also, if someone doesn’t drink (for whatever reason), don’t assume they have a problem with others drinking. I’ve never been a drinker due to family history and outside of getting new people to the point of accepting they’re not going to convince me to drink, the biggest thing I run into is the assumption that if I…
