I’m always amazed and horrified when a fellow white person claims that some word or other is “like the n-word”. Sorry, but there’s no term that that has been used interchangeably with “property” the way that the n-word has. There’s shitty words, for sure, but you do not need to “explain” that they are shitty by…

I think Emily is pointing out that Miley’s marriage isn’t anything special because people, Dietrich in particular, have been living in different arrangements while married since forever. Miley’s interpretation of her own marriage being beyond our comprehension is silly.

Yeah, I think that was the point, that Miley saying that her marriage was modern and new would make Dietrich and her gang of open-marriage modernes* laugh.

Note to the guards: Suicide watch does not mean, “watch someone commit suicide.”

Every day I grow closer to being a conspiracy theorist. 

When I was pregnant while working at a GOVERNMENT agency, my female boss was horrible to me. I asked to work from home for the last two weeks before my due date, because others got that perk, and here is her response:

HR works for management to protect the company. The sooner people realize this, the sooner you will understand the true role of your HR deparment.

HR Professional here, and I’m going to be a downer (as usual). There’s a lot of politics at the level that she’s talking. I doubt very much she’s midlevel professional.

For all the average Janes that are expecting or trying to get pregnant, I cannot stress enough to document every thing related to your performance and…

You shouldn’t need to have a black child to find racism offensive.

In my house growing up, swearing was seen as a healthy way to vent feelings of frustration. Swearing at someone (unless clearly joking) was a no-no. Swearing about the state of things in general was (is) fair game. I can’t think of any more appropriate reason to be swearing right now.

Is it unnecessary? We constantly mention that there’s too many white male politicians, why would this be any different? Are attractive white people the only ones worthy of being on a dumb dating show?

That’s how it read to me.

This was my thought too.

So...Is coming out next?

I too hope he dies, but not before his trial. Need to get all involved the fuck out of here.

Thoughts and prayers.

So, a middle-aged, bored and lonely, divorced white man contractually-prevented from having girlfriends, was so flattered that a ‘French’ lesbian in a dress and heels thought he was handsome that he allowed her and her trans girlfriend to bamboozle him into informal insemination and professional mentoring in…

I read that yesterday and the professor needs to acknowledge that his wife is the reason he isn’t homeless and broke. And if he hasn’t done so already he needs to beg and plead for her forgiveness.

When I was on maternity leave, I was reading “Where the Heart Is.” My husband decided the book was making me too depressed (thanks Oprah!), so he HID IT FROM ME before he went to work. I should have divorced him then. This was 22 years ago, and it still stands out in my memory as the first of many disrespectful things…

Oh my god. The person who rips my book would have his balls fed to him through his nostrils. BOOKS ARE FRIENDS. RESPECT BOOKS, DAMMIT. Even my six and three year olds learned this lesson early.
