Ugh, I desperately wanted to have my pitbull at my wedding last weekend, but we couldn't work out the logistics, and he would have totally slobbered all over my dress. Our wedding was outside at a country club and they were totally cool with dogs or a horse (which also didn't happen. Boo.)

Oh Tennessee. If it weren't for the Grand Ol' Opry and Goo Goo Clusters, it'd be time for you to secede...

Yeaaah... I've now broken my nose twice and refused to go to the hospital both times (ok, I didn't have insurance the first time, so that made the decision even easier). Crooked noses are in style now, right?!

I think it's really funny to kiss my pitbull's nose, because he then tries to kiss me back. Usually he's too slow, but every once in a while, he gets his tongue straight in my mouth...

I was way less creeped out by this once I realized you got to kiss the person you were with, and not the barista.

I'm confused. Isn't this what best friends are for?

Went to type something sarcastic. Ran into Poe's law. There's just nothing I can say that's funny/awful enough that some idiot* in this country wouldn't spout in all seriousness.

I just. Goddamnit. No.

Props to May 2014 for the not-so-subtle dig at Paul Ryan.

So I posted this elsewhere, but my husband and I seriously considered Silver Spring, MD's "murder house" when we were house-hunting. In 2002, a crazy guy broke in and murdered a 9 y/o girl and her father. A school principal then bought the house, not knowing about the murders. He tried to back out of the deal when he

We almost did. My husband and I looked seriously at 9337 Columbia Blvd (now 9335 Columbia Blvd: http://abcnews.go.com/US/homicide-ho…). We took my mom with us to look at it for a 2nd time, and she went upstairs, then promptly ran back downstairs and straight out the front door. She said the house didn't want her

Exactly... reposting that annoying shit just for the karma.

No budget in place? IRS scandal? Republicans blocking appointments? Wall Street running amok? YOU GUYS, LET'S WRITE A BILL ABOUT KITTIES!!1!

Hopefully, but who knows? I mean, if they have the right to limit what medicines we can access and why, wouldn't they also be able to argue that they have the right to follow up and make sure we're only doing what we're supposed to be doing with the BC? If it's SO damaging to their morality that we have access to the

Exactly, and that terrifies the uber-religious, because they're no longer superior just by virtue of being male.

By taking away their ability to access their reproductive rights? This is an issue of whether public good trumps personal religious beliefs, and if we ever want something like ... say... marriage equality to happen, public good damn well better be able to trump the hysterical bleating of a bunch of bigoted misogynists

They're claiming that the mandate violates their religious freedom (to be assholes <— that's not in there, but it pretty much is). Which is totally a moot point, since the Supreme Court has already ruled on this - if the purpose of the law is not intended to limit religious freedom, then it's not a violation of

Ok, so if stopping at stop signs is against someone's religion, do we no longer have the authority to require them to do so? The US Supreme Court already settled this issue in Unemployment Division v. Smith: "To make an individual's obligation to obey such a law contingent upon the law's coincidence with his religious

Ding ding ding. You get the prize. These men don't *want* women to succeed. They don't want women in the workforce. They don't want women getting educations. They want us at home; dependent, poor, and breeding.
