This has happened in my state a couple times, but it's Republicans fleeing bc they don't want to face gun control votes. Luckily (?) Dems way outweigh them so it doesn't change the vote, more just a 'principle' thing for Republicans. Is anyone else exhausted with a 2 party system? Just me? 

Well gosh. I’ll always remember her dad. Problematic, as all politicians are, but a prisoner of war and honorable. I’m old so I remember vividly jon Stewart’s daily show getting to ride on the McCain bus and the senator seemed reasonable, sane, and charming. Too bad he let Palin happen. I honestly think that was the…

Oh well it’s hands-down when I took my kid and his 5 best buddies to see Bad Grandpa in the theater for his 12th birthday. I sat behind them and died of absolute embarrassment and humiliation. I had no idea how Bad that Grandpa truly was. HOWEVER it was the best because it solidified me as the Cool Mom! Throughout…

I don’t watch the Kardashians. HOWMEVER. I do keep up with them. Heh. I think this may be a distraction tactic since news just broke she took Tristan Thompson back even though he’s cheated twice (that has been reported of)? So she needs to get people to look away. 

Caregiver of a rescue German shepherd here. They are WORK. And, they are a little bitey, its in the breed. Add on how many strangers he may be coming in contact with? Sheesh. Anyway.. I refer to myself as his emotional support human and here he is!

Please! Someone from the UK (who’s not a crazy troll; believe me we have them with the Trump Cult), tell us what normal rational humans think of this interview!

I am really really proud of my state. Not only did we decriminalize addiction and add tax on tobacco products and marijuana products to fund statewide rehab and therapy, we basically defunded police by putting money towards PEOPLE not law enforcement and imprisonment. We’ve appropriated money to help people. And in my…

My ‘police’ dog concurs. No racist dogs, just racist handlers.

Born and raised in Oregon. We may be the epitome of liberal antifa (? Honestly never met anyone who identifies antifa), but most of the state are old hippies(my parents) and their kids who are extremely liberal. Oregon is a very white state but hello have you been to the Oregon Country Fair? We keep it weird.  My…

CHIPS!!!!

I stepped on a coiled snake that our cat had brought in! It was late ‘70's, I was watching Gilligan’s Island after school (latch key kid!) and walking backwards on our green shag carpet to the kitchen because the commercial was over or something. I stepped barefoot on that damn thing and it clenched up. I freaked,…

Oh shit I have a good one. I was visiting my hippie parents and scolding them for: using humane traps to catch the field mice infesting their home (not scolding this obviously) just to release them back into the field NEXT TO THEIR HOUSE!! Anyway, mid-conversation, I opened the cupboard to get a glass or something,…

Why would anyone want to compromise their principles. 

In 6th grade, my friend got to go to a Boy George concert in New York city. It was around the time he’d shaved his head. She came home obsessed with his hair and decided to copy his look. So, as an insecure 11 yr old naturally would, I did too! Except I left wispy bangs for some reason? Photos from that time…

Fuck her, though. There's not an amount of money that I would do that for. 

Oh my word!! I’m shocked and honestly this made my quarantine. My lovely friend and mentor will be thrilled; she is so important in my life and in the lives of others. Thank you!

I have mentioned this in another comment thread, but my dear friend who was a manager when I got promoted to a manager for a department store, said to me “your company will never remember how you showed up at 5 am the day after Thanksgiving, or came in on your day off. But your children will remember. “ The perfect…

My dreams consist of my dog, and other dream- dogs, being hurt/ wailing/ crying. It’s fucking awful. Maybe because I worry about my loved ones who are vulnerable. Like my sweet sweet dog. My elderly father. And I just read on CNN that the first covid case in a dog was confirmed!! Luckily the pug (named Howie I think?)…

God this just makes me so sad. At my child’s HS, there are all these Senior traditions, and since this is a relatively small town most of these kids have known since grade school where they will go to HS. And most have been looking forward to getting to do things they’ve watched the older kids do. I didn’t go to my…

I tried to listen to the Wondery podcast and couldn't even get through the first episode due to the blatant animal abuse. Joe 'exotic' deserves to rot in jail for the way he physically and mentally abused those animals. I can't stomach all the Joe fan-boying. I wish I'd never watched it!
