“Spring was warm and light; Summer was cool and light; Autumn was warm and deep, Winter was warm and deep”

I love the unabridged Les Miserables, but knowing that ahead of time that the entire Waterloo section is wildly inaccurate historical fanfiction, was all the permission I needed to skip that section. The only parts relevant to the plot is that Theandier saves the life of Marius’ father, who was on Bonaparte’s side…

There is an excellent podcast series about Charles and Dianna “You’re Wrong About” 

Charles, real and fictional, is such a worthless weenie, oh my god.

For anyone else reading comments, Lundy Bancroft has really good books (“Why Does He Do That?” and others) that can help recognize when “your” insecurities are actually your body/mind telling you to either seriously rethink the relationship or to get out. Women are traditionally socialized to just smooth things over…

Well, that applies to everyone who has ever drawn breath.

after the last 4 years, anyone who says “I’m A Christian!!” makes me sus of them.

Well, the thing about real-life monsters is that they don’t advertise it, and they typically manage to convince an amazingly large number of people that they are actually sweet and friendly and that you are the mean and crazy one because you think otherwise.

Why not ask their own son, though? Why always ask the woman? If you’re writing anecdotally, I’ll reply so, in that women have to deal with these things from their in-laws when their husbands should handle it. She’s not his keeper nor his secretary.

This response pushed my buttons, so I rewrote it.

I‘m convinced the historical era these people want us living in is the imaginary world of 1950's television because there wasn’t any color. 

I lost nearly everything when I suffered a brain injury with no health insurance. And of course I supported the Affordable Care Act! Why should I wish that suffering on anyone else?

I paid off my student loans on my own. I wouldn’t be mad at all about any program that lessens or forgives that debt for others. A hand up is not a hand out.

when Hilary ran, many felt she was catering to the college educated and not the blue collar worker, and Trump could talk to them and say what they wanted to hear

I can confirm that our goal is absolutely a full-blown matriarchy. First we gain the presidency, then we start oppressing the men.

We start passing laws on what elective medical procedures they can have to erode their bodily autonomy, pay them less so they’re more dependent on us, only test medication on women so it’s …

What I really can’t believe is almost 70 million people watching the last 4 years and then deciding “Hell yes, sign me up for some more of that!”

There are a worrying number of people that talk like believing in God is the only thing stopping them robbing, murdering & raping.  Now that they think it’s God telling them it’s OK to do those things. 

I think you misread that - he was saying that adults don't need a child's help to look for their lost puppy or determine which kind-of candy was the best.

yea, always build in a global pandemic to every gantt chart!
