I must be under a tree because it is shady

We are saving forty thousand dollars this year, through various methods( eBay, Craigslist, overtime, switching to a dumb phone, cutting grocery budget, etc) to buy our way out of our goddamn underwater, too small, crappy neighborhood, shitty school system house. All last year we worked on paying off all our consumer…

You are not a half-hearted parent. You’re the mom to an infant, which is basically the hardest job in the world. It can be insanely awful and all-consuming. It gets better, though! Hang in there, and don’t be so hard on yourself.

I read 62 books last year (64 if you count proof reading someone’s unpublished novel) so my goal for this year is to read at least 65 books.

My optimistic hope for this year is that I get a little closer to my family. It’s been 5 years since they disowned me, and the past two months one of my sisters has been visiting me. Having one sibling would be amazing.

The burning down of the Burrow is just so. useless. I really don’t know what they thought they were adding to the story, other than that Harry and Ginny like each other a lot, which we’d been told, if not shown, often enough to get the point across.
Weirdly, the thing about Movie 6 that bums me out the most is that…

Jalopnik truthers are the fucking worst.

Yup. He actually kinda coined the term too, I think.

Those are hideous.

We’ve known that from the beginning, but I don't think George did. His ex-wife was a big part of the reason those movies are bearable.

Yes, but George, when you ruin your children, sometimes the state has to take them away from you for their own welfare.

The other Prince Albert,

She’s referring to Tamir Rice. The 12 yr old shot by cops for having a toy gun (in an open carry state) who was blamed for his own death because he was 5ft 7” and looked “menacing” in the words of the asshole police union. The cops claimed they repeatedly told him to drop the weapon but that was exposed as a lie since…

I think she is talking about our tendency to disbelieve all but the squeakiest-clean of victims. Putting the victim on trial is a proven defense strategy, and it is profoundly unfair.

He’s the Indian guy on Big Bang Theory, I think.

They dated for like 10 years before they got married, so she was into him enough to hang around for a decade. BUT, I think part of the rumor was that she found out about one of his illegitimate children right before the wedding, and the child had been conceived while they were very much together and headed towards…

Reportedly, Charlene tried to leave multiple times. Maybe three or four, I can’t remember.

These two giving off weird vibes? And after they looked so joyously in love at their wedding!

We are immigrants in the US. Yes, we have citizenship and we are sent to fight in American wars but our idiosincracies, our language, our culture, our music, our religion, our souls are all Latin. It’s neither right nor wrong, it’s just fact. I will agree with you in that being a “territory”, a colony, is a fucked up…

I'm 31 and unmarried but I've been slowly accumulating Le Creuset and All Clad pans because I figure even if I don't get married I deserve the good pans.
