If you’re looking for evidence that women bear more of the emotional burden in life, look no further then “Oh, Mom’s the one responsible for keeping track of Dad’s secret kids.”

Ah Christianity!

He had two choices.

Mommy blogging is one massive circle-jerk. 

This ‘family as performance’ shit is angering in ways I cannot reasonably put into words using my mushy quarantine brain.

I don’t have kids, and I live in an apartment. But I’m seriously considering that dino pool.

It’s ridiculous to lay Kate’s burdensome extra workload on Meghan. Meghan’s only been in the family two years, and much of that time was while pregnant and then on maternity leave. Isn’t the bigger problem that Kate and William are getting saddled with all the duties from which Andrew has been dismissed?

What needs fixing in Amy is that she needs to realize that she brought this on herself. She doesn’t need to be taught anything by or about black people! She needs to be taught that she can’t weaponize her whiteness or her femaleness to disadvantage and harm others. Amy is a spoiled, entitled woman who got told ‘no’ by

Without the lens of race? She called the cops and said a black man was threatening her. She inserted the lens of race and she was in the wrong to begin with.

I feel bad for the dog. But not as badly as I do for black men against whom the police are weaponized. 

I want to hear your mashup album. SO curious right now.

As an American, I’m outraged. As a white woman, I’m embarrassed. As a responsible dog owner who has had numerous unpleasant encountered with offleash dogs and their scofflaw owners while I am walking mine, I’m pissed. Amy Cooper, WTF is wrong with you? (Rhetorical question.)

Watch the news, local and national, where most Americans receive everything they ever hear about this guy. They never report anything like this. Nothing about deranged tweets. Maybe a benign quote here and there. They are failing us spectacularly.

My strategy, if I feel threatened by someone, is to run while screaming for help, not to start yelling at them and standing still while calling the police. Because no cop is going to show up faster than that person can assault me, especially in the Central Park Ramble. She wasn’t on a street corner. The Central Park

we can care about both... 

I just feel bad for actual people named Karen. My cousin is an elementary school teacher just living her life and being a good person, but now her name is equated with these assholes.

Even more off topic, but I sat next to Carol Channing on a flight from Philly to Boston in the early 1980s. She was glamorous, funny, and wise. Phyllis Diller would have been an amazing famous person experience, too.

Planning to do the same. I live here and worry about the women that have a need, but can’t afford to take care of this need.   My pro choice daughter is getting to vote for the first time this year. One more blue voice in Texas. Hope there are many more. 

I just sent a donation to Lillith Fund even though I live in WA, because fuck that guy.

Glad to help motivate you. Surely it's happy hour now!
