Undocumented immigrants get essentially the same constitutional rights as every person in the United States. The Constitution applies to all, no matter immigration status. The Constitution does not grant rights to citizens only. All people in the United States are entitled to Due Process of laws, to a trial by a jury…

I’m a high school teacher at a conservative boarding school in Virginia. Here is the letter I wrote to my (mostly Trump-supporting) students.

Yeah, I had the headache too- and I’m not a headache person. It’s like this is some dreadful, country-wide rage flu.

He should know it, but cause he needs to be slapped upside the head:

For him to understand that shirt, he has to press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.

Oh yes, that’s absolutely perfect. But might I suggest, simple flattering gowns for other bridesmaid, then a super ornate monstrosity for the MOH. “Oh of course you get a special dress Mary! You’re the most important person here after me!”

I feel like that’s when you break out the condescending pat on Mary’s knee and say with as much sweetness as you can, “I’m so glad you’ve found ways to make up for your problems making friends. Not everyone can be naturally liked.”

Eh, I’ve never heard about them doing anything truly negative in the name of religion. People are allowed to have their beliefs.

I can’t handle that amount of clocks. I want a small clock to tell me what time it is. Not 30 enormous ones to remind me my life is slowly ticking away while I eat blueberry cobbler and watch Netflix.

I am fresh off a 2 day business trip and about to leave for another one on Monday... I need to remember to thank my husband for putting our son to bed since he is not Biblically mandated to do so! Thanks for the tip! :)

VINTAGE FLIP! There’s a new show on HGTV called Vintage Flip where they buy older houses in Southern California and fix them up fairly period-appropriately. It’s really good, not sure why it isn’t in reruns.

Or just big letters with lightbulbs in it that say EAT in the kitchen, demanding that you stuff your stupid, clueless, style-less face

I think you missed the point of Mystic Spiral’s post. S/he didn’t say that anyone should stop complaining, the point was that we shouldn’t spend any money buying or renting the Killing Joke movie so as to send a real message about our disapproval.

Where I live, at the age of 16 my medical records were sealed from my parents. I was considered medically autonomous, able to make my own choices. I could become an organ donor, I could refuse treatment. And that was the standard for every other 16 year old in the jurisdiction I lived in. So at 16 you could get more…

Right? Wtf. My creep was actually a friend in school but he displayed strange behavior even back then, towards more people than just me. He lied constantly about really meaningless stuff, was possessive and jealous and petty. He started a rumor about me in 10th grade and then tried to act like a friend and be…

To quote the most amazing professor I ever had, who worked on sex crimes for the state police for 30+ years,

Yeah my stepson flies alone a lot, because he travels between our house in Seattle and his mom’s in Wyoming. He’s almost 16 but I still pay for unaccompanied minor service (it’s optional on Alaska after, I think, 14?) He’s on the autism spectrum and he’d have a lot of trouble speaking up if someone was touching him…

General rule of thumb for dudes (coming from a dude):

I think perhaps the most depressing thing about this is how many comparatively random women present had their own stories. This is part of why I think the number of women who have been sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime is much higher than more conservative estimates like to place that figure. Men seem…
