Rock on, Miley Cyrus. Gender is a construct and you’re tearing that shit down.

Disney is fucked up. It sounds like Miley came out relatively sane (and explains her rebelling against her image of the past years). I have a soft spot for her. She seems smart and I love her acoustic Background Sessions - I wish she would record those! Girl can sure belt out some tunes.

Cute kitchen is cute!!!

1. Fuck poachers.

Here are my tips:

They’re just called bachelors. It’s a positive thing, whereas a spinster is sad and lonely.

Bethe walked out alive. I’d consider that a win for her, just so long as she knows she only breathes because Ronda allows it.

The summer I was 12, I went to Quaker farm camp. It was wonderful—every day we got up and milked cows or bottle-fed calves, took care of all the animals and grew a lot of our own food. Because of this, you’d have to do some sort of kitchen duty a couple of times during your stay. It’s important to point out here that…

Jason was 12, I was 11, and our families had rental cottages across from each other in a beach town. We’d been hanging out for years with our younger siblings in tow, but Jason and I spent most of our time glued at the hip. I loved him, in that weirdly fierce and confused mostly-platonic 11 year old way.

I’ve got a few of my own, but I’m telling my brother’s because it’s/he’s fucking boss.

When I was 12, a friend invited me to a free summer camp. Since my family could not afford sleep away or day camps; this was my only chance of living my camp anawanna dream. However, I had no idea that this camp was free because it was being put on by her crazy christian baptist church. The camp was awful. On the…

First sleep-away girl scout camp, a week long, and I went with a friend from school; we were one state away from home while our families stayed at a vacation cabin, so we only knew each other. It was in the woods but not insane, with lots of activities and swimming and crafts and horses, the whole deal. I loved it, my…

God, I have stories up the wazoo from eight years of working as a camp counselor, but there’s one that really stands out.

My first year working at sleep-away camp, we did this training activity where everyone had to talk about a time that we felt “other” or ostracized. The new Drama Director (18 or 19 years old) told…

Honest to gosh, cross my heart this is true.

I spent three of the best summers of my life working at a little scout camp in Eastern Ontario, just outside of Perth. I have literally dozens of stories from it (I’ve already told two here) but this is my favourite:

We had a HUGE raccoon population around the camp. Big families that would get into gang fights at…

I am the mother of a child with Aspergers. Though he’s quite chill and polite now, he alternated between an angel and a fucking monster from the time he was born until he was four. Lest you think I’m exaggerating, he exasperated pretty much anyone who had to deal with him during one of his meltdowns.

Many years ago I was pulled over for a signal light being out. I handed over my license, proof of insurance and registration and sat quietly like I was taught to do in these situations. He came back and told me to get out of the car. I asked why and he said “because I fucking said so now get out.” I was scared to…

Exactly. He obviously gets off on being a cop & probably sees himself on being a “nice guy” as long as the people/women he pulls over acts really docile & polite. But poor Sandra Bland made the mistake of challenging him & the police (and unfortunately many, mostly white, people) think that warrants an arrest.

THIS RIGHT HERE is why officers need de-escalation training.
