I went to nursing school before getting pregnant. My birth plan was the following: “get baby alive out of my uterus. Use drugs if necessary. Make sure diabetic husband doesn’t pass out from low blood sugar. Fin.” Apparently I was supposed to interview multiple pediatricians according to What to Expect (and promptly…

I took symbolic logic with people in 2004 who said that they got paid $20/hr for internships just because the IT companies *could.* I would totally go to community college if I had it to do all over again, especially because it was fucking dirt cheap in 2000. 

I’m still partial to Fuckface Von Clownstick. 

God, remember how Howard Dean sunk his campaign by yelling? Those were the days. 

Ah yes, the same “logic” Ben Shapiro is known for, which is to say wrong opinions that are based in “reason” because the speaker wants them to be unchallenged. 

I completely agree. So much of what we do is digital, almost everything we touch has its basis in tech, and especially software. Yet it’s common practice in tech companies to have contract workers that have next to no upward mobility, and are doing jobs that 20 years ago would have been good middle class jobs with…

There’s a whole generation of deaf people that would beg to differ with this stupid take.

Let’s not forget the Star of David used in the Trump campaign. They have zero footing here. 

I feel like at this point, we need to find the Virginia politicians who DIDN’T do blackface.

I have a friend who looks Latino, but he’s of Italian and Swedish descent. He’s been denied entry into Canada because Border Patrol was just sure he was a drug trafficker. He was traveling with his then girlfriend, who just drove to the next checkpoint. 

Also, financial institutions have little interest in making us more financially literate. I budget very religiously and work to reduce our debt, and it’s eye opening to realize how “counter culture” that can be. We’re such a consumer culture, and opting out of that is not good for the powers that be. 

Whoever named that shit GoLytely is an asshole. 

No fucking way this slices that easily. Save time and just mush your cookies with frosting 

or my personal get out of jail card, “but he asked God for forgiveness, so it’s all good now.” As if Trump has ever asked anyone for forgiveness who isn’t named Vladimir. 

Please please please let this be the moment a mistress comes forward and says “actually, he paid for my abortion and I can prove it.” He’s already splintering the evangelicals. Barely, but it’s starting. Just read a good article today from an evangelical anti-abortion writer who said that basically, the GOP has had,…

And are sometimes recruited by places like Trump golf courses. Plenty of businesses know they’re hiring undocumented workers with phony papers, they just don’t give a shit because it helps their bottom line. I’m sorry, but the GOP can quit bitching about illegal immigration until they stop looking the other way when…

I was wondering the same. I’d have questions about it carrying over year to year, but as someone looking at someday doing grad school, I don’t hate this. 

So I think I knew this guy from high school. I am a reformed youth group go-er (I think they’re fine overall, but looking back I can see where my parents had concerns. To their credit, they said abso-fucking-lutely not to any and all clinic protests). I may have even had a crush on him. Married, old ass me is now…

Truly, if she just killed him, she’d have served her time and been done. Not condoing murder, but dude should, on some level, be thankful to still be on this side of the dirt. 

Hell yeah they see it, it’s their business model. Have you been in a Christian bookstore recently? Okay, I guess that’s all mostly on Amazon these days, but back in my day, you went to the Christian bookstore to get your Walgreens perfume knockoff rock artists (If you like Guns n’ Roses, you’ll love....), you got your…
