OMG’osh, this is incredibly exciting!

Can we talk about why “lower performing” always assumes kids of color? It is true that due to income disparities, kiss of color are more likely to be lower performing, and this needs attention, but damn... These kids are not performing poorly because they are are black and Hispanic. It is the socioeconomic factors…

Glad NYC is planning this. Fuck these parents. My school has a higher than 50% minority population and the casual racism I have to call white parents out on is disturbing (i.e. assuming that black classmates’ parents aren’t in the picture or that only mom is, that legitimate disabilities are because of poor parenting,…

I will never understand how a woman who gave birth 5 hours prior can look better than me AT MY VERY BEST.

Seeing Michelle standing next to Melania proves a point. Although the current FLOTUS had a career as a model, the former FLOTUS is so much more attractive, poised, and charismatic. 

As someone who is bipolar and has a history of self harm, I don’t know if it’s helpful to say so, but I think it’s amazing that you’re interested, concerned and taking the matter seriously. I wish my parents did the same. I often wonder how my life would’ve been different if I had treated my illness earlier and in a…

Man so true who doesn’t love naps?

Hahaha awwww. This second time around has been way easier on me. I have only cried once and it was the second morning home after she had been up every 45 min overnight and I was soooo tired.

Dear Bernd, my brother’s wife passed away several months before your husband. It is uncanny how he has said almost exactly the same words at the three month mark. Now that we are approaching that one year milestone, he is actually able to laugh again and it makes me happy to hear that. Although there are still moments…

Evening beautiful Jezzies...Craft Thread!

Who the fuck does this? Who says, “I’m going to strap on my big ass gun and intimidate a bunch of children”? For fucks sake, why would anyone do this?

My daughter’s high school cleared out. She texted me that everyone was leaving to walk to the capital and that she wanted to go.

Here’s the thing — she literally gets no time off at all when the Senate is in session. She can’t predict — hell, we can’t predict — when a vote will take place, whether it will be delayed (ahem Rand Paul), how long it will take etc. She can plan for some childcare with her husband and a nanny, but she can’t possibly…

Bullshit. Part of the reason that flexibility needs to be there is because being in session, especially when legislation is being debated or voted on, requires her presence for long times, or weird, sudden hours. It matters that there be working mothers in the Senate and that having a baby shouldn’t stop a legislator…

you are betraying your own ignorance. She can’t take maternity leave! She’d miss countless votes including crucial nominations.

CONGRATS - that is HUGE. I got my start in public secondary ed, and then went to private K & Grade 1, and couldn’t deal with all of the bullshit handed to me daily (I’ve been in post-secondary since 1997). How wonderful that you can finish your license and also receive the kudos that you deserve! Getting that…

Oh god I completely forgot about that! (Madisonian protester here). A highlight for sure!

She is an amazing president of SAG-AFTRA! I’m so lucky to be on the same slate as her and have gotten to know her over the past few years. She really cares about the safety of all members and I know that she’s going to keep working on this issue to make sure all performers can feel safe on set, at auditions, and at…

It’s such an Andrea thing that she’s now SAG President.
