Love the last line. “That feeling when…”

Bravo to your Mom! I was a single father. Mom decided it “wasn’t her thing” when my boys were 8 and 5. I couldn’t be there all the time due to work and depended on amazing friends and relatives. Every ball game (they were never on the same team being 3 years apart), PTA meetings, homework, doctor’s app’ts, broken…

I returned to work six weeks ago and my husband is staying home with our son. It’s allowed me a lot of piece of mind in going back as my kid is with someone who knows his routines and idiosyncrasies already so I didn’t have the pressure of going back coupled with the pressure of introducing him to a new environment,…

My hair is fucking on fire with rage over this. How dare she “leave” her child with it’s father?!?!? He is half responsible for that child existing. There should be no question that a father should be adequately capable and responsible for keeping the child alive and thriving. Why does our society put the full burden…

Aw you were just a kid. I really think my kids are fine with it EXCEPT for the comparisons to other families. But here’s the thing— I feel like I’m supposed to “wish I could be there all the time.” I don’t. I like making money, I like that we don’t worry about luxuries, I like working. I don’t like school volunteering…

It’s not unique to America. We’re joined by Papua New Guinea, Surname, and Liberia, too.

It’s the most important job in the world and it pays nothing.

Rural Florida has its fair share of preppers and whenever I accidentally fall into a conversation with one who wants to talk about guns, I talk about how if they really wanted to survive an apocalypse they should consider farming mealworms as a sustainable protein source, since even meat rabbits take up a lot of space…

The pledge, which should always omit the phrase “under God”. Just take your hat off for the anthem.

I loved Seven of Nine, but not for her boobs. (Though her boobs were awesome.)

Awww, that was my first TNG episode, and I cried and cried. I’m such a sucker for robot/alien wants to know what it’s like to be hyoo-mon stories though.

It still really isn’t consistent at all. If people like Rubio actually genuinely believed that all abortion was murder and one of the most pressing issues facing society (which I suspect they don’t), then they would actually be working hard to stop or reduce abortions. The thing about that is we know exactly how to…

I guess I can see that, but then I look at the people in my life who have been genuinely, strongly anti-abortion. And they don’t tend to have a strong concern for human life. They tend to have selfish and uncaring political positions that tend to be based on a love for punishment of behaviour they see as unbecoming or…

If you buy this, the most you should maybe aim for would be 2-3 Ghost Shrimp. Otherwise, you’re just being an asshole.

It’s the massively slashing the social safety net, the state’s rights rhetoric, that Johnson himself has said that he wants to reverse Roe v Wade, and roll back environmental protections and banking regulations. There’s really very little to like about Libertarians.

A core element of the Libertarian party platform is that businesses should have the right to decide who to serve without any government interference. In other words, a restaurant owner should be able to kick black people out without penalty because “the free market” should punish them for it, not the law.

My first choice is Sanders, but my second choice isn’t Clinton, who shares a great many of Sanders’s policy positions, but Johnson, who shares none of Sanders’s policy positions. Because we can’t betray the revolution (which apparently has no substantive policy goals). Also, I like that Sanders and Johnson are both…

I agree with you until the point where you call someone with a medical degree who is unprepared to answer questions about vaccine safety conclusively, firmly, and in keeping with all medical knowledge, a moral or intellectual person. Allowing anti-vaccine sentiment to fester and foment puts the lives of children, old…

Plus the fact she can’t just come out an say that vaccines are safe without giving such circular non-answers makes her look bad.

This woman was singled out because she was doing something that is particular to women of the African diaspora, and the dress code was changed in a way that targeted that, and her, specifically. The addition of “no ponytails” is curious, also, as it is a strange and gendered rule that is most definitely ripe for…
