Ok I love the blue light tip. I will be using that in the future.

Yep, my son and his sister absolutely delight in seeing each other. My son is reading a series of YA novels where the two siblings, a brother and sister, are raised apart but then reunite to save their Egyptologist father using the powers of Egyptian gods and goddesses. He has spoken about how he and his sister are…

Last night I hung out with the woman who was my ex-husband’s sidepiece when I was pregnant. I was about 7 months along when my suspicions were confirmed by a late night creep through his text messages. It is now about 10 years later, they are married with a daughter, and my ex-husband is not doing well with his mental…

I work in early childhood, and so far at various work events, I have been a cave woman and a penguin. I’m thinking about being Guy Fieri for a work costume party next week, but I’m doubting I can pull off the facial hair, since I have dark skin and I don’t think his two-toned facial hair will be visible against my…

Admitting this in the safety of the interweb. After seeing this video, my husband and I do this to each other to signal when we want to be the little spoon.

Malfunction. Will.

I would love to see his beard photoshopped out so that I could gag.

And this is brave to admit in a place like this. I loved reading that, because the performativeness of activism has pretty much driven me out of it. The laziness of sharing hashtags, the social media glamor of doing jail support, the messages that are emblazoned on everything at all times.

Let’s pack some Lunchables and go now!

I didn’t think there could ever be a more adorable video than Demanding Lemur, but Demanding Lemur is dead to me now. RIP

I don’t mean to get into the oppression Olympics, but in the 1970s, Indigenous women were sterilized without their consent.

This is a 2014 poster from the Red Cross that showed the white kids being “cool” and following safety rules, while all the kids who were not following rules were people of color.

Raiden. And it turns out he’s named after a character in Mortal Kombat. I’m a former teacher and I can tell you that many of us have HAD IT with the -aidens and all their variants. -ayden, -aydyn, -aidinn, -aidynn, -ayton, -ayten, etc. A colleague once wondered aloud how long it will be until Schmegaiden. It is…

I don’t want to star this because of your last sentence. I’m a survivor of childhood molestation too, and when I told my parents about it, I learned that the same relative had molested my dad too as a child. Something I don’t think I’ll ever be able to tell my dad is to thank him for never touching me or forcing me…

Starred for “true Socialist” with an uppercase S and for loving librarians.

Maybe she wore bright red ones, sporting a pair of glasses and a condom behind one of the lenses?

I was a sucky flag girl in high school. Could not do a toss ever in any of the years I did flag. During football halftime shows, I would just not toss my flagpole and march off the field in my white satin mid-thigh skirt, spangled beige pantyhose that was several shades lighter than my skin tone and dread the toss…

Well his son is speaking out against sexual predators, so yeah this checks out.
