As a historian the conflation of Irish immigration and (voluntary!) indentured servitude with chattel slavery MAKES ME CRAZY. As does dummies who talk about what Republicans and Democratsdid in the 19th century like they’re the same parties today. How convenient to forget the 20th century realignment that was based on…

private Christian school

Imagine being her kids. Oh hey - normal life? Never going to have that.

It’s Lysistrata time, bitches.

Take heart. Russian Conspiracy Twitter says that the FBI is having preliminary talks with Mike Flynn. They would only do that if he can serve up This Asshole. And FinCEN has shit on not only his whole goddamn family (Tiffany and Barron excepted), but a lot of GOP leadership, too.

Kathy Griffin tweeted a photo of herself holding an extremely bloody and realistic (though extremely fake) decapitated head of Donald Trump, people got mad and accused her of promoting violence

You must be new here.

Ok what is really upsetting to me about the Joshua Jackson article is, HE CAN’T FIND A DATE?!?!? Why am I married...

One of my best friends left her husband with her small child when he beat the shit out of her. She called 911 while speeding away in her car with her child in the backseat. A few hours later I was with her, and it took me 7 hours to convince her to call the police back with the details so that they would criminally…

I think the body of evidence presented that she IS letting him back in is far too minimal to even raise an eyebrow at.

And if he does get worse and take actions that would constitute endangering a child or child neglect or what have you then I’ll rejudge him as a parent.

Can you explain why being next to the child while he does it makes it wronger? I mean, it sounds just like a symbolic problem.

Yeah I’m not saying he isn’t a vile piece of shit for what appears to be knowingly effectively grooming underage teenagers, just that he doesn’t seem have done anything with the child that would warrant him not being allowed to be the sole caregiver for so long.

Does that go to his parenting ability? I mean, it’s not like the child saw it.

Maybe, but maybe not.

That’s what I thought. My husband had Stage IV lung cancer that went to a vertebrae (and likely beyond based on his pain). His radiation treatments were palliative.

exactly. sometimes, modern medicine can’t save you (especially with metastatic cancers).

To be honest, what she can receive now is simply palliative as by definition, she has stage IV breast cancer.

Not sure how much difference it makes once you have bone mets.

I definitely see the appeal of an arrangement now, in a way that I couldn’t have even 5 years ago. It feels freer to not have so much of my emotional life wrapped up in one person. I have room to breathe and look objectively at our problems now, and they’re soluble for us in a way that my ‘in love’ peers can’t fathom.…
