This was the first chapter book I ever read, and this movie looks nothing like what I pictured in my head--it looks a thousand times better! I am so excited! This is gonna be so rad!

My sister’s legally has the accent on the first e, too.

Despite being home to a half a million people, Fort Bend is the worst of small-town small-mindedness and Houston’s virulent hatred of its own growing diversity.

Last night I was informed by my 6'3" mister that the rice packets were at eye-level when lying flat on a shelf that is exactly as high as I am tall.

Yeah, I read the article first, but watching the video I was thinking, “There are so many people who would watch this and think ‘Good.’” Because the answer to that rhetorical question at the end is unequivocally “Yes”

Let me just be clear: economics is so not my thing. I was just trying to summarise the explanations I’ve been given when asking the same questions.

Basically, corporate taxes would have to go up as well as the taxes on the wealthiest brackets (ie, the people who are currently making more than a million dollars each year). This would allow people to be able to buy the goods and services corporations and businesses sell (because they can’t profit if nobody can…

Wait.... why do they want pregnant detainees to have babies? I thought “anchor babies” were some Terrible Evil Plot to Destroy America (TM).

What? WHAT?!? Texas, get your shit together!

Easy. A bunch of people with power over your career tell you that you need to look a certain way to succeed for literally your entire life. I bet you that she has never looked in the mirror and thought, “I look great today.”

I’m willing to give Taylor the snakes if it becomes socially acceptable for everyone to have coats of arms and house seals and mottos and freely carry swords.

Unfortunately, telling someone to kill themselves via poster is not likely to count as inciting violence, and I’m pretty sure most hate speech is protected speech in the US. That’s not to say this poster isn’t disgusting; we do way too much to protect hate speech in this country. And until laws are passed to…

Until I was like eight, I thought I had a cousin I had never met named Sean (“seen”) in addition to the one I had met named “Shaun”. It wasn’t until I was writing my own thank you notes one Christmas and my mom saw I had addressed the card to “[Cousin], Sean, Shaun, [Cousin], and [Cousin]” that I learned the truth.

And it’s like, no we’re not harpies for going off on people for “you should smile” comments. I know the difference between a well-meaning friend/acquaintance trying to cheer me up vs. an absolute creep.

When I had my wisdom teeth out, my oxycodone script had two or three refills. I was 14. I think I took a grand total of four pills (two days) before switching to an otc pain reliever, and the rest of the bottle sat in a cabinet for years. I’m glad my mom’s a nurse, because I don’t want to know what might have happened…

Adderall would never be legally available online. It’s Schedule II, so it’s subject to extra rules. Prescriptions can’t have refills, so you can’t even get them from your health insurance’s mail-order discount pharmacy thing. You also can’t fill a prescription unless a certain number of days have passed since you last…

Oh my God, did you just say that the Spanish aren’t white? Have you ever actually met a Spaniard? Unless you’re defining “white” to mean “people who can’t dance” Spanish culture is white culture, and historically, the Spanish are “more white” than the Irish OR the Italians.

This is the second time in two days you have mentioned sugar on grits, and now I really, really need to know two things: a, who the fuck puts sugar on grits? and b, is putting cheese on grits also a terrible sin for which I must atone?

The string of responses you’ve gotten of people saying no one helped them in various situations made me realize how lucky I was that when some drunk grad student pinned me to a wall at the first house party I ever went to freshman year of uni, another guy just ripped him off me and threw him out of the house.

I hope you guys and any family you have in the area are safe! I’ve got family camped in the living room, and I’m going to be working with the libraries on recovering damaged materials.
