Will not register for a lot of people, but man was I devastated when they cancelled Teenage Bounty Hunters. From what I saw, it might have actually been a pandemic casualty as especially shows featuring ‘teens’ were difficult to sustain over that period for multiple reasons. Yet man I was shocked how much I loved this

Rather obvious on who was the driving force to keep the marriage age limits out of that Tennessee bill. The thing is all the voters in his district all knew about this and still voted him in.

I can! It’s a small village just outside cottage country, in an agrarian community. The kind of place with Thanksgiving hay rides, a dog sledding festival, and an opiate epidemic.

This happened when I was around seven and living in a small farm town outside of Chicago. Each night I’d go to bed and from the ceiling above me a little girl, in the shape of a shadow, would watch me. I recall she had this curly untamed hair and no facial features, but she definitely read as a little girl around my

Years? Try decades on foreign relations alone.

I have over a thousand stories about my last neighbor Crackhead Keith - CHK henceforth- including how he initially thought I was a cop for wearing business casual every day (nope IT software), but I will share just my two favorites.

This is why I think that Covid-19 should be called the Trumps (like the Mumps). He needs to own this disease. He likes putting his name on everything anyway.

Maybe you should stop writing compliments -- you’re bad at it.

This might be the kick to get some action on climate change.

All I did was make a list of the key points from the man’s plan. I think you’re angry at the wrong person. 

I travel at least three weeks out of the month or work. I have seen things that make me hate people. (That coupled with people actually voted for Trump, make it difficult to leave my house if I don’t have too)

I once sat next to a filthy man who thumbed through a stack of Asian porn mags for the entire five hours.  Interrupted only by shouting “TOMATO JUICE!” every time a flight attendant passed us. 

When will we get to a time where people stop panicking over media hype of bullshit viruses like this... jezus fuck... the basic flu kills 10,000+ people every year and because this news stems from China and is blown up by our mindless media outlets people freak out. If they had stated “the flu” and not added a coole

She should be immune to it by this point in her career, and IMHO, it is pretty sad that she’s not.

She also should be very aware of the potential consequences of her calling out something like this on her Twitter and called, texted, or DM’d a friend instead.

Of course, Dessen and other authors are humans and can be

I’m a YA author, and I’ve been hurt by reviews, too. But *they’re not for me*. They’re for readers who might be curious about my work. If I need to, I vent privately to friends and then move on. I would never publicly set my huge following on a stranger for having an opinion about my work. Does this person from the

The link to condoms means it’s probably to discourage people from using them, so they can make more Mormon babies. 

Fuck it, activate the national guard. These retrograde shitbirds had to be dragged kicking and screaming into desegregation, it can be done again. 

Watched this with my youngest daughter over the weekend and immediately felt quite a bit of truth in it. I stopped growing at 6' 3" and received endless shit about it through high school and college. “Why don’t you play basketball?” (Because I wasn’t that good.)Why aren’t you on the volleyball team?” (Because I

When I was 12 my parents went out for the night and left me and my 6-year old brother with a babysitter. She was very nice, maybe early 20s, and we’d had her before so we were quite happy. I think her name was Lauren. My parents weren’t coming back that night so they’d made up the guest bedroom for Lauren to stay the

You can read everything you can and still not know what style you’re going to be. Kids trigger all sorts of shit in you that may impact your parenting style.
