Yes you are right (starred it). . . and yet the wealthy, privileged members of our government no longer represent America either. Everything is shinier inside the bubble (and whiter).

I cry too. I am anguished by the right and natural fear you feel as a response to these murders. I wish I could make it go away by removing the cause.

Seriously, there is a huge difference between salvageable and unsalvageable finishes. I paint old pieces all the time—after determining whether they’ve lost most of their inherent value. Anything that CAN be preserved, SHOULD be preserved.

This always bothers me tremendously. I tend to view fellow Christians who are sport-hunting, meat-for-every-meal, climate change deniers as basically illiterate. God gave us the earth to care for, damn it.

7:20 AM here. I remember being exhausted and nauseated every morning for 4 years. And most of the day was a waste—unchallenging, very much like prison. I graduated in the top ten of my class and still had to keep myself from dropping out by sheer willpower.

Well shoot. Epic fail. I had read an early report last night that he was black. Didn’t think to fact-check that one. :/

Yeah they should keep him in the documentary but every mention of his name should be “Serial Rapist Bill Cosby.”

I wonder how much of the worsening sexism has to do with the prevalence of plastic surgery—actresses are now expected not only to never age at all, but to remain visibly nubile. And then there’s the advances in nudity-sans-shaming; male directors and execs seem to have taken this good thing and predictably run shitty…

Let me first say that #blacklivesmatter, and I condemn the recent negligent homicides of African American arrestees by the police in the strongest possible terms.

You know, I wasn’t buuuuuuut . . . after reading up online, I think I may be guilty of repeating a local legend. Seems the folks who own the church were unaware of the chicken resemblance until recently. Because they’re blind, maybe.

that looks like marlene dietrich

No seriously—it was intentional. That church is in my town. Some rich old lady donated a crap-ton of money for the expansion/renovation of the church, and she fucking loooooooved chickens—so the architect did this as a tribute. They’ve got a pamphlet about it in their foyer.

Yeah, I suspect this definitely carries over socially and professionally. I am a tall, well-spoken, direct woman, and I have actually been yelled at several times over the years by various men during our first meeting—always in their place of business, always during a conversation during which I had questions or…

Yeah if she’s not what Eve looked like in the garden, then God done messed up

“a study based on 2002 data observed that the divorce risk for people who married in their thirties was flattening out, rather than continuing to decline through that decade of life as it previously had.”

Ugh, I love when people partially read history (or partially parrot it.) That yahoo is talking about indentured servitude—the precursor to slavery in America. If you couldn’t afford ship’s passage, you could temporarily “sell” yourself to a rich passenger; they’d pay for your ticket over, and in return you’d work for…

spray adhesive

Actually I kinda want to see this the other way around. rawr

If Tatiana Maslany doesn’t win, there is no justice in the world.

I have so many mixed feelings about Oath Keepers. They kinda seem like the character in a movie who’s the raggedy, infamously eccentric, wild-eyed, over-prepared conspiracy theorist who when serious cataclysmic shit goes down turns out to be absofuckinglutely right and saves everyone’s bacon—but in any other…
