I thought it was like in Game of Thrones, where if you give that coin to anyone from Braavos and say “valar morghulis” they have to take you to the House of Black and White? If you want to meet with the CBC just ask any black person, literally any black person, and they’ll arrange it.

I mean... i’ve done 10 years as an EMT. Another 10 in Child Protective Services. Currently working with drug addicts. I have seen enough “reality” for my lifetime, I don’t need to see it in my entertainment too. So yes. Blockbusters to let me forget the horrible things in the world, please. THe more unreal the better.
I’m gonna get pedantic for a minute here because...I’m sometimes a pedant.
The full quote is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” and means the complete opposite of what people use it for. It means that people joined in holy covenant (it’s a verse from the Old Testament) are closer than…
Word. My “Dad” was barely around when I was a kid but when he was around he was terrible. He disappeared for years then came back when he got a diagnosis & was going to die. Just said that sucks for him then moved on with my life. Everyone said I was horrible for it, I told them that man was dying, not my father,…

The actual wording is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” so feel free to thank those idiots for proving your point for you. Isn’t it great when ignorant assholes don’t even read what they’re quoting?
I agree completely. I was raised by an alcoholic, abusive mother but she tried to be better, went to rehab, apologized, acknowledged that she was a shitty mom a lot of the time. She was but I never doubted that she loved me and she always tried to be better than her addiction and mental illness made her capable of.

It’s a bit labor-intensive but soooo worth it. Here’s the recipe: http://cleobuttera.com/cookies/nutella-therapy-cookies/
That flour sounds awesome. Last week I baked Nutella therapy cookies - chocolate chip cookies with nutella inside. My kids’ teachers got them as Valentine’s Day treats :D
My 10 year old daughter was told by her teacher that she could not wear her pussy hat at school. She didn’t wear it during class, only on the play ground at recess since it was cold outside. Her teacher told to take it off and put it her backpack. I checked the dress code for our school district and there is nothing…
Woah, Kinja’d.
A couple of months ago I asked for advice for grad school applications. You guys were so helpful. I just found out that I got into Columbia University!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to go so bad, but the cost is ridiculous. I am still waiting to see about financial aid and some scholarships. However, I am still so so excited!
Any bakers out tonight?
Thank you, she does and it drives me and my more practical mom (her daughter) crazy! I take more after my dad’s unforgiving harpy of a mother, I work on softening it.
I briefly* ran a parenting group for people who had their children removed from the home. Many of them were ‘decent’ people with substance abuse or mental health issues (who) were willing to change and learn positive parenting and discipline techniques; often having learned violence or hurtful behavior from their own…
My grandmother drones this as my uncle, her 65 year old little boy, robs her blind and continues to ruin her life as she enters her 99th year. It makes me want to punch holes in walls and make her listen to a list of the blood relatives I have no problem declaring my lack of use for.
People need to remember: even the worst human beings in this world fuck and pop out babies. Sometimes, inexplicably, on purpose. Does having a kid suddenly redeem you from being a shitty human being? Does it entitle you to automatic love and respect? It sure as hell shouldn’t.
My father was/is not an abusive man in the technical sense of the word, but he’s an alcoholic who’s shown very little interest in his children’s lives for most of it and Ihave very little to do with him unless one of my other siblings initiate it.
