“Lauren informs her that the politically correct term is “person of genetic difference.”
Actually, Andy mutters “person of genetic difference” sarcastically when Lauren objects to the use of the slur. Nice interplay between the sibs there.

I got to that sentence and stopped cold. What the hell, Jane? Why would you ever put that in there? Someone is having some relatively minor new in-law drama, and you suggest she married the wrong person? That’s.....I can’t call that a jump, it’s so far beyond.

I agree. It’s hard for me to believe that her children would be removed from her for leaving her kids in a dirty apartment for a few hours once a week. There’s got to more to this, because removal over that just seems too extreme for a system that’s spread so thin.

Hire a housekeeper. I get it, you’re busy and you never learned how to clean a house. Everyone will also chime in to say your husband could do it and so on. Okay. Still, hire a housekeeper. Knowing CPS won’t get involved in your parental rights is a low standard to set for yourself.

As long as there’s a snarky talking cat, do whatever the hell you want.

NOOOOOOOO!!! Enough! Sabrina doesn’t need to be gritty! It was a fun lighted-hearted show and I LOVED IT. Can no one create an original idea anymore!?

“Homeless guy walks up to my car, yells at me and says insulting things.”

but much worse he talks bad about me to our four year old daughter.

Except Sam took credit for Gilly’s find. Totes douchebro move.

Also, “he’s jumped straight to open relationship, which he feels will take pressure off of me” feels like some pretty rank gaslighting. Sounds like in about a year MVP is going to realize that her wonderful boyfriend was kiiiiiiiiiiiiind of a massive asshat.

Yeah zombie ice dragon is cool and all, but I crawled up my fucking couch in horror when I thought Tormund was going to die without making giant babies to rule the world with Brienne.

What is this “Good News” concept that you speak of? Isn’t all news supposed to be horrible and make you throw up in your mouth a little? I read the article but surely I must have had a stroke or something as I feel not nauseated by something I read. Curious, I must be in the throws of hysterics or perhaps my womb has…

What do you know? Turns out electing progressive, intelligent women to high levels of government is good for women and families. Thanks for today’s only good news!

If the problem is capitalism, then how do you explain how racism and sexism exist in forms of government other than capitalism.

Arya is gonna MDK Littlefinger while cosplaying Cat.

I was pretty put off by the tone of response to the first letter too. Yes, she should probably remove herself from the situation for her own mental protection, but saying she’s just involved because she just “loves drama” or “is lonely”? What about maybe she just cares for her friend? Or she’s having PTSD from seeing…

I admit I’m not a fan of Jane Marie personally (not since the reactions to her articles about flying with her daughter or trying to get a neck tattoo), so I’m biased, but I have to agree with you here. This was really not very good advice.

Exactly. Author totally missed the ‘compassion for a friend’ option. Still have to let people make their own mistakes and stay out of it, but yeah, the reason people feel compelled to help another person in a bad situation is called compassion.
