I’m really glad to see I’m not alone in my sock hate. They are my nemesis.

pants are terrible, but socks—SOCKS. the truest enemy.

Pants are terrible. I also strongly dislike socks.

Shoes are terrible.

Slavery *was* a choice...

100% DNA match is being reported, along with the detail that he’s talking.

Thanks for the clarification as to why it was used. We see photos and headlines so often of, “so and so’s wife did a thing” that dismisses the women’s actual work. She was a great writer and, while his help held her up, she deserves the credit due for an amazing book.

I don’t respect anyone who is unable to listen and to empathize with grieving children, who refuse to acknowledge the real and present danger his position—I’m sorry, his *principles*—presents as an elected legislator better positioned than anyone to put an end to this bloodshed. I don’t respect anyone who can look…
