Also, I’m pretty sure this is very new because your story is very similar to a friend of mine with an American mother.

As an American living in Canada, my child will be dual. I actually don’t have a choice. This is according to my lawyer, but he said that the U.S. is one of two countries in the world that does this for the child of an expat woman. It’s not because they’re just super generous with citizenship though, they just want a…

“I *know* he’s not lying because I watched all of The Apprentice and that show is real. Reality TV shows are real.”

Oh, I can definitely see that happening. Some other dickhead was once like, “oh, are metal shirts trendy now?” Ugh. I’m pretty jazzed about telling kids to stfu as well :) or that, no, I wasn’t dragged to the blind guardian show by my husband...he joined me because he’s very sweet.

Yeah, does anyone have other websites that they go to five to ten times a day with great comments sections? Any recommendations?

All I know is that any douche who wants to quiz me about my Death shirt can prepare to get his ass told. Or just ignored, because I shouldn’t have to waste my time proving myself to some jerk off. Saturdays are about finding new bands to get into, all by myself. I also know how to drive a car! (I’ve only been quizzed…

“Making policy based on this fear mongering is wrong for two reasons, it is factually wrong for blaming refugees for the very terror they are fleeing, and it is legally wrong because it violates our laws and the values on which our country was founded.”-Cecillia Wang of the ACLU, on point. I saw this in a PBS article,…

Wow, I’m really sorry this is happening to you. His response to your situation was super hurtful. My dad is somewhat like yours, although he can keep it in check for the most part. My sisters are pretty liberal too and he knows that, so we just avoid most polarizing topics. I’ve taken to just saying, “well, you know…

I was thinking she would maybe feel bad about how shitty she was behaving and back off once you started crying, but no? What the hell.

I couldn’t finish reading “The Legend of the Bluebonnet” to my second graders without stopping to cry and get my shit together. They looked at me like I said the F word or something, and I’m pretty sure that’s the only thing a few of them will remember about the entire year. Also, we watched Bolt and it makes me cry…

Damn, that’s kind of terrifying.

When I was a teacher’s aide, one of the other teachers was talking about how her step son still had to live at home, and just needed to grow up before he became a loser. It was one of those “ugh, kids these days are so lazy, unlike OUR bootstraps generation” rants. I kindly reminded her that I was still living with my…

Yes. As a Title I public school teacher, (federal law mandates that we come “highly qualified”) I’m so annoyed that while she has no background in early childhood education, she can still somehow open a private preschool.

You are living the life.

The X-Files. I started watching it in 7th grade, and it was my first step into sci-fi. It sort of opened the gate for all the books I’ve read later that also had a huge influence on my thinking and friendships. I was pretty lonely and beginning to not fit in with the girls in my neighborhood any more, but there was a…

The lack of compassion is astounding. Jesus was not cool with the Pharisees’ placing more importance on the law than with helping and loving others, but many church leaders actively ignore that story. I don’t understand it. I’m sorry for your pain.

Right? They could show her footage of a thing happening and she would deny the thing happened. How anyone could watch the same show and still be on her side (and hate Melissa) is beyond me.

At least she sort of owned up to it. Watching Teresa constantly lie through her teeth and never, ever apologize for anything was ruining reunions for me. Andy loves her (ugh, why???), and he won’t truly call her out on it.

I wonder if the sin of pride also applies to Donald Trump?

I too hate to be “that guy”, but I’m disappointed with the encouragement of bullshit stories associating the homeless/ mentally ill with demonic possession.
