My thing is, when parents are considering your name, they’re not thinking about what future society you’ll be in where their perfected respectable selection is somehow contextually offensive or laughable. What the fuck does Jessica or Thomas mean, anyway?

My principal came in to announce the verdict and one kid cheered. He was quickly admonished, the principal saying, “Two people are dead! How dare you?!” Kind of gave me a new perspective at that time.

I am mad right now actually and I fully intend on going to bed in less than an hour because I’m tired as hell. Eight years in and seriously, it’s not that critical anyway and we already know that. Why waste time arguing when I need to load the dishwasher and get the baby to bed? Bah!

I'm scheduling a bake and breakfast getaway to Colorado next year. THANK YOU.

What the fuck is wrong with this world?

For all those people talking about the good ole days, remember our parents were practically in the next county as we rode our bikes all over town. They were probably earning advanced degrees while we played but I want to read an article on gendering of martyrdom in music and I’m a bad mother? Go away. Don’t come back.

Might have been busy criticizing Matt instead.

In a stream of conscious, snapshot, sound bite culture like this, can you really be sure? We’re on to the next trending hashtag, Daily Beast article and PopSugar gossip like leapfrog. People are always listening, even if it is to criticize him.

It’s like there’s a list of rules we can’t agree on. If I’m excited to be an ally, reading articles, books or blogs, when do I speak up and when do I hang back? I almost think you should mentor someone like him. Approach openly and orient the ally as to the complexity of the issue, how they can help and WHAT to…

Being in long term relationship doesn’t mean we stop becoming newly attracted to people who come into our lives. We should focus on accepting those feelings, encouraging fantasies, but channeling those feeling to investing in the stable relationships. Take that passion home to your spouse. It’s more effective to teach…

To be honest, I appreciate that a straight white male is talking about feminism and gender equality. He is becoming more socially aware and expressing himself. He seems excited and eager to learn. This is a first step for him. He can continue his momentum by amplifying women’s voices: follow, retweet, donate and keep…

Even though the vast majority of mass shooters are young white males, not sure that’s the most important detail right now.

I think if I had to do autopsies on people hit by cars, who blew their heads off or were found floating in lakes, I’d want the option of petting a precious kitty on my lunch break. And a Xanax.

This is why getting away with murder is such a crapshoot. You can plan it meticulously and still overlook a minute detail or witness. You could try doing it overseas without considering extradition laws or strict jurisprudence. Then there’s the murders where someone gets popped sitting at a stoplight and the killer is…

It’s like there’s an absence of logic.

Lack of research, methinks. They probably assumed the opposite.

He does look like a shrunken apple in that last post.

She can have eight years being cock-blocked by a Republican majority or 20 years whipping up politics to mirror a progressive populous. I’d take senator.

There are so many compelling life perspectives on movements in both the average life and history. It’s so damn lazy to be a white male telling a white male story... when you weren't even the center of it. All the resources in the world and people choose the same tired perspective. Good. Hope it hurts.

Thank you for sacrificing a bit of your sanity to write this post. Those opposed to these views really need to take a hard look at what is being espoused. It’s tough work but as a community, we must do it. My husband and I frequently say, based on comments like the ones above, that they are not interested in a…
