“She told us her dad worked in a tequila factory when she was born.”

Her dad *woke up* in a tequila factory

I used to have a pet goose. He just chilled in the pond and shit on the porch. He was just tall enough to look through the window and liked to stare at us when we ate. He also played w the cats and followed us around the yard, but never let us pet him. He was a good bird.

‘some asshole I have to work with’

Gun laws and measures like buybacks work. Do you seriously think there were less guns owners per capita in Europe and Australia before they adopted stricter gun laws? Nonetheless their laws have curbed gun violence.

It’s really weird to invoke Spacey and House of Cards about this. Spacey was an adult who was sexually assaulting minors and sexually harassing crew members on the set of his show. That’s not remotely comparable to a television showrunner deciding that a scene calls for two characters to kiss. There’s nothing…

Germany, also (at least in the East German city where I live). The only way we can tell that it’s spring is because the hippies are *hey presto* shoeless, and it’s never indoors - always outdoors across the filthy sidewalks lined with cigarette butts and loogies and dog shit. Those same people are almost always white…

Also, I think it’s totally okay to dress up as people of other races for Halloween if it’s genuine, specific, and doesn’t involve any kind of ethnic caricaturization.

If someone in my office walked around with her naked feet for all to see, I would be the one PLACING the tacks on the ground, not offering her luxurious slippers that she would likely not wear!!

I’m baffled how Liane Balaban never blew up after that movie came out; she’s great in it.

I just watched the trailer. I’m down. Thanks for the rec. Have you ever seen Whatever? It’s a good teenage girl trying to get out movie too.

I went to school in Halifax and saw New Waterford Girl at the Oxford. I HAVE ALL THE FEELS NOW.

AHAHHAAHA emoji face! :\

It was so scary. I took my daughter in for an early meningococcal booster after that, and her pediatrician said that even with treatment, 10% of kids die within 12 hours of first symptoms.

God, that’s awful. Poor baby, and her poor family. They couldn’t have gotten her help any quicker.

I’m down with Hugh Grant in most of his iterations but I cannot FUCKING STAND ANDIE MCDOWELL. And what makes her so infuriating for me is that she always plays this elusive, precious, golden vagina’d goddess that some male lead finds sacred - even though she’s shown no sign of a personality other than looking at…

A girl in my daughter’s school caught meningitis two years ago. She was in perfect health otherwise. She came home sick from school about noon. Her parents took her to the ER at 4 pm the same day. She died at 2 am the following day. She was nine years old. Meningitis progresses very quickly.

Care to elaborate what you mean what you mean with that it doesn’t sound like Islamic Terrorists? This does sound similar to the attacks we have had here in Europe with drivers going over civilians.

I’m not a physician nor do I play one on tv, but that looked worse than a mere faint.
