I am not up to date on any of these shows, but I’ll just say an early weekend hi to everybody. I won’t be here on Saturday because I’m going to the swanky beer fest at the art gallery. I’m going to taste beers for charity. Hard work, but somebody has to do it.

Thought about saying that I hope everyone had a great

My DVR is set, I took the weekend off to be home with the Mrs. while she recovers from surgery, and neither of us have anywhere to go but the couch. This timing works out just fine for me, thanks!

This is some petty shit and I am living for it.

Counter point - she is a beautiful tropical fish/musk-ox/land mermaid who’s ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot.

Thank you for this. A woman isn’t lacking in agency just because she’s making decisions you don’t agree with. I might concede that she’s in over her head, but to cast her as someone so blank that she can’t muster up the power to make her own decisions is a disservice to both her, and other women like her. Just because

...“the more repellent side of feminism: the vile, crude, man-hating, violent, nasty side”...

She’s so amazing

Saw this on Instagram:

And appropriately, this was the scene outside Trump Tower last night:

This is Marble. A cat we lost 6 years ago. She was found and trapped a week ago and is back home with us.

Babies wear fedoras, too. But I don’t think you’d be criticizing those, because they’re traditionally associated with males, and male=power + respectability. Babies wear everything people wear. (Knit hats, hoods, baseball caps, etc., etc.)

I mean....me. I’m in my mid 30s, college educated, succesfully self employed, married, have a child, pay all my bills, am an active member of my community, vote in all elections, call my elected representatives often, participate in protests, and wear goofy shirts and (*gasp*) hats with animals on them. I am a

Google “animal ear hat” and feast upon the multitudes of pictures of babies in hats...

I had a coworker who would needle me almost daily about how i should really buy a home/condo, if he could do it I could! and about every third time I would remind him that his fucking parents are real estate investors and paid his entire down payment & then some, and they paid for his college outright so he started

THIS THIS THIS So much this.

I’ve received considerable help from my parents and I’m always up front when people ask me questions in those areas but it comes at a cost. I live in a incredibly expensive area where many people struggle to get by. Mentioning that my house was a gift, that my parents pay my kids private school tuttion, etc. is very

Whenever I talk about college with other people, the first thing out of my mouth is “My parents paid for it, and I am so fortunate.” No fucking pretending that I am anything but privileged because I know my parents are the ones that saddled themselves with debt to give me a debt-free start to life, and for that I am

This is relatable to someone like me who has significant (in my less positive moments I use the term “crushing”) student loan debt because I too didn’t have financial help starting out. It also gives me hope that I won’t always be struggling. I wish more people who received that down payment from their parents etc.
