Please get over the plasticity of language. There are tons of vernaculars within American English and they’re all equally valid as languages.

It is not correct. Let it go. 

As a History teacher, I’m kinda loving this.

I’m biased (librarian!), but your local library should have reliable resources and information sources. And it’s free, with no pressure to buy anything. :)

SUPER WEANERS!

You just described my exact mindset, except I have a husband (also no kids, very happy never wanting them) but no horses. Everything in my life - job, husband, living situation - is very much how I want it (except I want horses), but I’m so sick of myself. And my grandmother just turned 101 and people are like “you’re…

Just be happy you were able to get numb (not to downplay the struggle)
-_- my body has some crazy ass tolerance where I have to notify the dentist in advance so they can special order...whatever it is they have to....because the local anesthetic doesn’t work.

Hi Jezzies, I’m doing slightly better emotionally since being mugged. Though it’s a struggle having had my money stolen, when I get paid next I’m going to be behind because I have to make up bills I should of paid out of stolen money. On the plus side my shoulder doesn’t hurt anymore. And on the bigger plus side it’s…

What’s up Saturday Socialites? I’m super psyched because it was a pretty badass week! Celebrated my 45th birthday on Tuesday by getting my new counters installed and then Wednesday the sink/dishwasher/garbage disposal went in! Kitchen is DONE! Well, some appliance upgrade will come later, and some cosmetic/lighting…

Hello from hospital! After a week of throwing up violently, I finally drove to ER, where i immediately threw up all over the floor. So far labs, CATscan, sonograms all look okay. No big problem revealed. However, this extreme nausea is not abating, and I'm really suffering. I'll take some thoughts and prayers, please!

We had to put our dog, Doodle-Bug, down today. He was just old and sick and there was nothing we could’ve done for him. We had him for 18 years and I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. He’d been with me since I was 8 and was the first dog I ever owned.

So serious life stuff here- On Thursday I’m getting a full hysterectomy and endometriosis excision surgery, I ‘ve wanted this surgery for years and dont need the parts with my gender identity and thought I was super calm about it. Then the 1 week until surgery mark hit and I’m really starting to panic. I’m just plain…

The askfeminists sun on reddit is full of whiny men asking questions which they pretend are about feminism but are actually just pleas to be told how great they are.

When I was a wee lad lo these many decades ago, my uncle (long haul truck driver) brought me a surprise gift from Florida. A tiny lizard. Very cute.

Watching the video of those Catholic School boys taunting Native American demonstrators, and that kids smarmy face is stuck in my head. It’s driving me crazy, because I know what I’m seeing very clearly. The kid looks so pleased with himself, even though he’s making no point and hasn’t even come up with an argument of…

This is truly enheartening to hear, from a Michigander who watched DeVos singlehandedly destroy public education in Southeast MI.

Pretty much every Louis CK-critical article is like a bat signal for angry guys.

“I like to masturbate. And I don’t like to be alone.”

Yeah man, lots of projecting in your statement, none of which really applies to what I said, but that’s okay! If you like Louis, you’re allowed to. I honestly don’t think he should be banished from doing stand-up ever again (never said that), but what I am more disappointed in is that I think that now that he’s back…

The main problem here is that his supporters keep framing their defense of him as people are attacking him based on his material. That’s not the case. They are criticizing his material, but that’s because they are viewing it within the context of his actions. And he and his defenders are going to have to get used…
