“Your Suffering Is a Glory To God.”

I would burn that fucking hospital to the ground. Catholics should not be allowed to run hospitals when they have priorities that outrank the best interests of the patient.

1.21 gigawatts?!

You had me until the fuschia slip. I do agree on nude nails and shoes.

Yikes. I am not thrilled with the request for “large male volunteers” - it sounds like summoning a mob to deal with what might be mental illness. No better ideas are leaping to mind, naturally, but this sounds like something that could have gone really wrong.

I’m not completely sure you meant to direct this to me, since I didn’t say that. But if you’d like to hear my thoughts on it, I think women are more comfortable receiving compliments from other women because there’s very little chance that there’s any sexual objectification going on. When a woman compliments me on my…

What higher-up republican is going to tell them not to try to legislate their religion? That's all republicans DO.

Heh! I’m guessing you weren’t around yet in the 80s. I used to wear coordinating scrunch socks (red then pink on one leg, pink then red on the other) and two coordinating t-shirts so that I could roll the sleeves up together and have a sassy color contrast. Everything old is new again.

I wear a silky pink shift!

Really? She’s a worse a person than he is because she told people the gross, inappropriate thing that he said? He’s an adult; he can accept the consequences for his behavior.

I want them to think about whether *they* would enjoy receiving this compliment from a man. “Hey, fantastic job on that brief!” = a-ok. “Hey, you’re really attractive.” = jesus, dude, must you?

Maybe 20 years ago, I bought a pair of Chucks at TJMaxx that had Looney Tunes characters on them. I thought they were men’s shoes (??) and I bought them in a 6 1/2 right off the shelf. I got home and wore them for a day or so and realized they were women’s size 6 1/2, and that’s why I was in excrutiating foot pain.…

Your pun bugs me.

WELL. Now we *all* know who needs to pace herself. I don’t want to judge, dear, but that’s on the high side for alcohol consumption.

Sigh. Okay. Great job at ending racism.

Cyndi Lauper is still perfection.

Indeed. Reminds me of the women who did a slam poem (? maybe that’s the term?) called “Not Another Rape Poem.” Upshot: Oh, you’re tired of hearing people complain about rape? Must be tough for you.

Unconscious bias. Learn it, love it.

You’re right about that. I was talking about funding mental health care in non-emergency situations, when people recognize that they need help. Reagan gutted a law that would have provided resources for treating mental health issues and created a huge explosion in the “mentally ill and homeless” population.

It means that you are at risk of being shunned from all that matters in this world: conversations with white men.
