The baby will just be crying for those ten minutes, nonstop. A baby’s needs and its wants are the same thing. Crying is their only form of communication, and they don’t understand waiting because they don’t understand time. So the baby won't starve, but you can't explain that to him, because he's a baby.

Also, an optional nice bit of gear to have is of the 4-legged canid variety. Ours was most efficient when it comes to disposing of stray Cheerios or peas that my daughter gleefully tossed on the floor as she transitioned to solid foods. Barkuuming for the win!

There’s gotta be a German word for it.

Welll it’s just not fair. And bros, I’m with you. I don’t think it’s fair either....that women are so afraid of men because violent crimes against women are overwhelmingly committed by men, and as a result of that we have to create physical safe spaces that segregate the genders. But ok, let’s fix your boo-boo first.

Dear Mr. Perry,

I think what we’re discovering now is what percentage of Bernie supporters actually understand and care about the issues Bernie discussed in his campaign, versus the folks who got caught up in rhetoric (or anti-Hillary hate) and are now happy to transfer those vague feelings of anger and resentment to Trump. It’s a…

This is actually a serious issue. The Dems have gone pretty damn far left in an attempt to pulling Bernie supporters (which has largely worked, between 73 and 90% support Hillary now depending on what polls you look at). But what a lot of the diehard ultra left seem to not realize is the message the Dems would have…

I think the reason they cherry pick the assholes is because there were enough of them showing up at the DNC acting disrespectfully and disrupting speakers. And it may have just been these few loud cherry picked assholes - but they were disrespectful enough that they deserve to be called out. Also that is Samantha…

Are you a woman?

What needs to happen, besides better avenues to justice obviously, is that these private institutions with insane archaic rules such as no dancing, etc. need to have their accreditation, Title IX, and Pell funding yanked.

I’m 66 years old. I became a feminist when I was 5, and my older sister was told she could “join” a model airplane club my father belonged to. She could pay dues, but not attend meetings or meet because she was a girl.(My father promptly “unjoined” that club!) I’ve been waiting 61 years for today.

Idk that much about DWS. Feel kind of bad for her about the pile-on, esp. the extra hateful misogynist angle Sanders’ crazier friends have given it, but I’ll take your word for it that she’s not great (since I don’t feel like reading about it, tbh).

Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s going to miss her much. She strikes me as largely not all that helpful for the overall goals, being basically the embodiment of the party existing power structure, rather than someone working to advance the party’s political goals.

ok but

In science, 99% of the testing can only be through observation. They are asking clinics and hospitals who treat people with Zika to share their findings. So this is their first confirmed case.

I can understand why you would think that, given the nature of some comments about Castile and Garner and others deaths on these forums.

“Look at this expensive funeral! How can black people afford this without fundraising” jesus LOOK at how you are speaking and what it implies your thoughts are.

I’m actually surprised by how much snark she is getting for this. I thought it was super cute. She reminded me of my mom, who happens to be a) a terrible/adorable teller of jokes and b) a total badass you would do well not to cross.

It’s particularly poignant that this procession took them right through the old Rondo neighborhood. It was Minnesota’s largest and wealthiest African American community until it was demolished for the construction of I-94. Just another reminder of the structural racism that helped killed Philando Castile.

I’m fortunate not to have any addiction issues, but I relate completely to sometimes wanting to dive into a wine glass to escape my inescapable parenting duties. For me it’s more the symbolism of the glass- an ADULT glass, filled with an ADULT beverage- than drinking itself. I’ve had times I poured the glass and just…
