I see so many of my female friends under pressure to be in a relationship and have kids, when I KNOW that these people could destroy in their careers (even more than they already are) if they were just let be to fucking do it.
All anyone asks is “are you dating anyone?”
I never get asked that. Just how I’m doing and…

This entire conversation has made me think of that weird part of the movie 28 Days where Sandy B goes to rehab and the rehabbers have to get a horse to lift its leg, then later Sandy does it again and says something about “making my outsides match my insides.”

Niiiiiiice

Ah yes, Indiana, Big Sky country, cattle rustlers, Pony express, in the bunkhouse with the cowboys away from Mother’s prying eyes...

The horse does, too.

As someone mentioned, the tail here has been docked. Similar to how some dog breeds have ears/tails docked. It’s not nice, and, in fact, some countries have outlawed it. Originally lots of draft horse (the big working breeds that pulled plows and wagons) breeds had the docking done with the idea that the tail might…

It looks like it’s wearing a fancy butt plug.

You’re thinking chupacabra, a capybara is real and looks like a giant tailless beaver

Yeah, each individual group disgusts me in its own unique way.

well thats depressing

Fuck her shitty ass parents. Bill for family vacation... I hope she never pays and it fucks up your credit forever, you trifling, nasty assholes. I hope Discover calls you nightly. I hope this article gets you hate mail.

We do such a great job with our kids, eh? Her parents disown her. The school that’s supposed to be leading her through the last stage of becoming an adult tries to fuck her over. And the only organization that could theoretically protect her from the asshole Jesus freak fuckwads at the school sees what’s going on and…

That designer bag was a $5 thrift store find. The iPhone was work-issued. The nice car was given to them by grandparents who can’t drive anymore (and if it ever breaks down, they can’t afford to fix it). Meals out are paid for with gift cards from events attended for the side gig(s). And home is a rented room in an…

I’ve seen people complain of a woman showing up in a Mercedes at the food bank. Sometimes people are brought low by a financial crisis but that doesn’t mean they need to sell their possessions and ‘look’ poor. Often you keep the nicest stuff you have because it’s the best quality, will last longer, and allow you to…

Exactly. Do you know who I consider rich? Someone who owns property that is paid in full and has no trouble meeting tax and insurance payments of all kind and payments for retirement. That may not sound very fancy at first but in Los Angeles it requires a LOT of money. Like “top 5% rich” type of money. On the other…

Do remember that sometimes people have things, and then circumstances change, they can’t eat or pay rent all of the sudden and thus need to go on assistance. Are they supposed to sell the nicer things they own at a depreciated value to buy shittier versions of those things that may be less reliable and become money…

I wish I could say I am surprised, but a white conservative male writer calling a woman a girl isn't shocking. It's annoying, but not a surprise. 

Bitter AF. I’m a lifelong Georgia girl and I’m bummed. My little kids are bummed. My oldest is going through a gun-loving republican phase, so he’s happy, but he’s also 14 and dumb, so fuck his stupid opinions. 

Amen. She would no doubt be“irritated” by my boyfriend, who also uses food stamps and happens to have nice things. And it troubles me that someone who employs that level of dangerous illogic is ungreyed while I’ve been languishing back here for 10+ years.

I remember someone I know lamenting how someone who owned a smartphone couldn’t possibly be homeless. Or hell, the people who said refugees couldn’t possibly have their lives at risk because they were wearing Levi’s and had phones... as if those things act as a bomb shelter or provide access to sanitary water and food.
