I haven’t been to church since the Sunday after the election. I seriously don’t know what to do. I can’t have conversations with anyone there. My sisters in different states are in the same boat. Our faith and the book we’re reading are no longer reflected for us in mainstream Christianity. They don’t even resemble…

“Fuck this country.” NO.

Liberals, STOP. Stop playing directly into Bannon’s hands. He is a self-proclaimed Leninist whose mission is to “destabilize western society”—presumably to institute Russian-style communism. If you willingly cooperate in his steps towards war, he and his cronies will end up in charge. Not the people. HE WILL.

Dye her hair back to dark brown, dress her like a refugee, and drop her in the middle of syria. Then see how she feels.

My son wasn’t ready until 9. Boys mature later.

I took my kid for a walk down the street so she could then walk away from me after to process. Would recommend.

You don’t have to explain it all at once! I’m a huge fan of partial info until they’re old enough to process it. Finally had the complete talk with my daughter at 7 and gave her the biological lowdown. Wouldn’t change a thing.

that makes one of us. robin hood is literally foxy. (signed: 8-yr-old me)

Because you are assuming that you know why every white woman or first-time protester was there, and you don’t. Maybe there’s a lot who were brainwashed (er, raised) by racist uber-conservatives from birth, and are only now finding their voices after having cut ties with former family and friends—which is NOT an easy…

Yes, that is a very thorough accountant-style breakdown of our current UN peacekeeping budget. But you do not appear to have weighed a loss of treaty negotiating power, the size of the relative countries, or the way international law works into the balance. For better perspective on how withdrawal from the UN would…

I am absolutely going to pull a “not all Americans” card here, because 3 million MORE of us had the sense not to do this. Our voting system is fucked up, and yes we are trying to change that, and yes there are a lot of dangerously stupid people here—as there appears to be globally right now. But the rest of us are…

Agree with all replies. But withdrawing from the UN represents a significant financial detriment that many Rebublican billion- and millionaires might be unwilling to take on. It’s scary for sure, just....don’t panic quite yet.

This is worrying, but before we panic too hard—this same bill has been introduced every year to congress for the past 20 years.

Yep. Have been planning on attending for months. Son came down with a medium-high fever yesterday. Fuuuuuuck. (Kid’s feeling better this evening; love that little guy.) My daughter and I consoled ourselves with pink pancakes and watching the marches livestream for five hours. But I still cried when they weren’t…

No way! This is NINJA level trolling. She goes ahead and makes them the fake, plagiarized cake they wanted, thereby ensuring that they’ll be caught out, and then donates all the money they gave her to causes which Trump hates, and gleefully tells him to fuck off through the press?! I’d like to buy her a drink or…

I must gently correct one part of your statement, that this kind of abuse doesn’t happen to boys very often. Unfortunately, it does. And I do know a man with that background who has DID.

lmao, thank you for both the genuine sympathy, and abandoning with such casual aplomb a metaphor that wasn’t working. i needed a good laugh and a hug this morning.

Not sure where you got the idea that MPD (now known as DID) is debunked—but as someone whose seen at least two undiagnosed cases of it, it’s fucking real, and terrifying. Most of those who have it don’t use alternate voices or names. But the shifts are observably extreme, the memory gaps, everything . . . and so, so…

I suggest that we start placing the bodies of murdered women and children on the literal doorsteps of the lawmakers responsible. Completely serious.

I agree with you.
