Not that you’re saying this, but I love how $120,000 is nothing, unless you’re a public employee. Oh, you run a school district and your private sector equivalent is the CEO of a mid-range company making four times that? It’s a waste of taxpayer dollars!

It’s strange to me that people like yourself and corn blame Obama and only Obama for this, when he was forced to gut and mangle his original plan for the ACA by politicians on the other side of the aisle.

Seriously.

And my being able to get medical coverage for the first time in years (and great medical care, at that) would beg to differ with you. Funny how anecdotes work.

Li’l Bubs is almost a year old and I have never posted a single thing about him on social media publicly. No one besides my boyfriend and my dad (literally because he doesn’t have social media and wouldn’t post pictures online) were allowed to photograph my bump, I didn’t announce the birth or the pregnancy. The only…

“Why didn’t you post sooner??”

I love her take on this.

Sure, it’s a throwaway comment, but I see a lot of people being like “lol ultimatums” in the comments, and I think that can be a bit of an unthinking kneejerk response that is especially unfair to women. There is a lot of socialization that pushes us to roll our eyes or demonize women who want to get married and push…

An art form? Bitch, please. Then they should just stick to drawing and hanging the pictures on the wall instead of actually pretending they’re making clothes for people.

I know I shouldn’t respond, but this actually really funny. Like it’s the worst trolling I think I’ve ever seen. Am I supposed to be insulted? I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel right now.

My son is six and he went through a “girls are yuck and girl things are dumb” phase. Then he just got over it one day. He made a friend at summer day camp and told me “She’s a tomboy. I told her I’m a tomgirl because I like My Little Pony!”

A steady diet of Hiyao Miyazaki will help. And talking, and talking and have men in his life talking about it, too. (19 and 14 yr old sons who are feminists. )

I think he’s an idiot, but according to this article, not as much of an idiot as circumstances seem to suggest:

Right? Wtf. My creep was actually a friend in school but he displayed strange behavior even back then, towards more people than just me. He lied constantly about really meaningless stuff, was possessive and jealous and petty. He started a rumor about me in 10th grade and then tried to act like a friend and be…

how often stalking escalates into physical violence should be more of a concern to police forces than it currently is. just like the justice system is beginning to take cruelty to animals more seriously because it has been shown to be a precursor to violence against humans, the justice system needs to start taking…

I was really afraid of my ex breaking in to my apartment when I first moved out. One day, I was about to go to bed, and I realized I could hear snoring in my bedroom. I went to kitchen (quietly!) and grabbed a knife, then got my cell phone and turned on the flashlight function while I had the call to 911 typed in,…

I take it you’ve never been stalked before. Good for you.

If this were a just world, she would be able to sue her ex to pay for the security system she needs thanks to her ex.

Our cats will not ride the roomba :-/ It is a bitter disappointment. But the googly eyes we put on it help sooth my sadness.

This may seem like a stupid place to put this but maybe not - please everyone, stop giving alcohol related gifts. In January I had a really scary moment where I decided I needed to stop drinking. My birthday was one month later. I received: a personalized wine glass, a flask, a bottle of champagne, & a coffee tumbler…
