I wonder how they’ll respond to refugees from the south. Sincerely a Wisconsin resident who is actively prepping to get the fuck out if Trump wins in November.

You have to understand, Canadians are the most polite of all the members of the British Commonwealth. The have elevated the quiet and measured response to an art form. Also consider Canadians have a less-than-stellar track record on the issue and you can see why Trudeau had to pause and think.

What is wrong with him? How does he fail so spectacularly at behaving like a person?

That man is such a unique blend of ineptitude, vanity, and utter stupidity. I’d laugh at that clip if said blend wasn’t so fucking hopeless and dangerous.

Just imagine if he’d been this responsive about covid.

Pride started as a riot, Ivanka.

This made me SOOOO happy! Such a sweet video and so happy with her win.

Are we sure it wasn’t just a neighborhood watch comprised of black and brown people? Because I know a few people who would be prone to the mistaking the two.

What sucks about this moment is that this *could* have been an opportunity to talk about the real issue of people with adoption regret, or adoption... idk fatigue, in which they are faced with raising a special needs child in addition to the stresses of adoption, let alone transracial adoption. But it can’t be, ‘cause…

Kate Hudson’s company is Fabletics; she has nothing to do with Playtex Baby, which sells bottles and diaper disposal units.

Past century? Someone’s being generous!

“Human capital stock”

It is VERY worth mentioning that her three other children who she has offered a “forever home” as their mother are white.

My kids are adopted— my son has significant needs, so a few things: The terms gotcha day and rehome are terms used in adoption. I have 2 cats and I always cringe when the word “adopted” is used about animals. I love my cats— they are not children. In our house we don’t do gotcha day, we celebrate family day with an…

1. I hope he is adopted by a loving family that meets his needs and changes his name (for his privacy but also because Huxley is awful).

I have some experience with this. Being sent away/“rehomed” is profoundly traumatizing, even when it’s in a divorce situation, with the child in question moving from parent to parent. It doesn’t matter how nurturing the parents are. The child internalizes it as a problem with them, and the sibs question whether it can…

As someone who grew up in a family that went through a similar situation, I can hope the adopted parents did it for the right reasons. I’ve never watched their videos, and the optics of giving up a “problem” child they’ve presumably made money on are awful. I was adopted (domestically) and my parents fostered and…
