Thank you for saying this. 

Exactly, what a horrible shit of a human being. 

Salty, the MeToo movement is one of the most important ones of our lifetime and the unrepentant message is quite literally “Hands Off”. We as women cannot now be hypocrites and support strangers touching people when there’s no justification for it. Want good tips? Do what the rest of us have to - do your goddamned…

I’m going to leave this here. I support local Girl Scouts (I still have my sashe)! But as a national organization their business model is as ugly as Nestle and every other palm oil product. This story was deeply disturbing.

That was my initial reaction too; but only because we’re so programmed to see binary choices. Upon deeper reflection, what harm does it really do to not check a box? It doesn’t change the sex organs or outward appearance of the baby. It does however, allow a child to emerge as a full human being naturally without…

Hey Elaine, fellow white girl here. How ya doin’. You seem to imply that this one single crime proves something about black people. I am an avid reader of this site and while the text here can get a little strong, I have never felt threatened. Why? Because in these scenarios, white folk like us choose to approach…

Nantucket is most decidedly eastern Mass. Does anyone know where and why he’s due in a Western Mass court? Just so I know what rubbernecking town to avoid like the plague.

YES. Here’s what I think restaurant owners don’t realize: many of us have stopped dining out because of the costs. I do at least 25% even for mediocre service. Tipping is not supposed to be like blackmail; but it is. Be perfect, tolerate harassment and terrible behavior or else you’ll lose everything. Tip an…

I make $15 in Massachusetts as a nature guide and it’s shit. I can afford groceries, my medical bills and about half the heating bill, that’s it. If I weren’t married (my husband and I live in a home that’s been in his family 3 generations), I’d be screwed. I don’t own a car. I take the bus to work, make all food at…

Well said. I do think there are grey areas, though Aziz Ansari isn’t one of them. If you read the account, he grabbed her breasts without consent and blocked the door. That’s not a bad date, that is assault and intimidation. Back to your account; I was like this for so long with “persistent” men. If the questions…

“The show must go on”. This reprise is taken very seriously by stage performers. There are rumors of actors dying onstage rather than interrupting the performance. Obviously the gal needed medical attention but I don’t fault Azalea for continuing to perform! 

.......and there IS something we can do about it! In addition to clean energy, there is agroforestry (if you’ve ever had shade-grown coffee, that is one example of agroforestry) can not only save crops but it even mitigates global warming. Trees and even soil can absorb CO2. 🙂🙂💖

Whomever appointed Trump to disseminate the Christmas spirit to children should be dropped in the middle of Alaska by helicopter. 

So Facebook can read my fucking private messages but the Internet doesn’t have an easy way to image search this honky redneck’s real name?

I am estranged from my batshit crazy family & therefore most of my friends are internet people from overseas / many friends who are POC. I am losing my goddamned mind trying to ship from Etsy last minute now (long story why I procrastinated). I can attest, DIY lessons would be so welcome right now. Like, many of my…

Yes!

Living trees are nice too and they’re less of a fire hazard because they are alive and retain water. 🙂💙

Snow. I lose my fucking mind this time of year because I love it so much. I’m a Biologist and essentially celebrate Winter Solstice, so that’s one factor. By the way? Pagan means “farmer” and I am positive my farming ancestors gave me my love of nature. And in case you think I’m a lightweight in my passion? Search…

Yes! His name was Baxter and he was a lovely house rabbit. 🐇

OMG this is my sisterhood, right here. So many peeps with borderline moms! I no longer feel alone. I cannot top these stories, so I thought I’d share a shocking but not-exactly-insulting gift. Senior year in private school, secret Santa. One cheap gift a day for one week. My locker was empty all week (we didn’t use…
