If I were on the Warren campaign, I woukd suggest Sheryl Crow’s “A Change Would Do You Good” catchy, immediately recognizable, a subtle call back to Obama, and also letting people know that you are here to fundamentally change American politics. Plus Lady Prez for the c-c-c-c-combo breaker

For me, personally it’s Disney. I was raised on a steady stream of Disney and Disney-esque (shout out to Odette from the Swan Princess!) girls who were smart and capable and all that jazz but who had all their hardships wiped away by becoming royal. Now, I’m a pretty strident feminist who need a man like a fish needs

There are literally DOZENS of us!

Chernobyl gives me the HIGHEST hopes for His Dark Materials

Eh, I actually think it’s the opposite really. A population whose imaginations are fired up by “plausible” science fiction do amazing things. Make space fun and inspire kids to want to explore and discover aliens. Get them interested in STEM because of science fiction and let them write the science papers of tomorrow. 

I’m not a sewer of any stripe, but I caught my husband CLEANING WEED with my steeking scissors. I got a new pair and some fancy yarn in recompense.

How badly has she pissed off the makeup people? Every week she is more and more ham colored. 

Now, he might not be gay or bi. The pictures could be something awful. He MIGHT be a Furry. 

Yeah. I only skated with a lecture and a huge reduction in my grade on that paper because I was an undergrad and the rest of the paper was completely cited and foot noted. The professor could tell I wasn’t trying to “get away” with anything- I just made a bonehead mistake. Bonehead mistakes are things that undergrads

Yeah. I nearly ended up in front of the honor board as an undergrad when I turned in a research paper with a missed citation. Colleges generally aren’t keen on plagiarism  

I met Buzz Aldrin during a meet and greet type thing after he gave a speech. My entire introduction to him was “Colonel Aldrin, I’m a huge fan...of space" I must've looked like a complete nutjob.

If you haven’t been to his website, I encourage it. He’s got a lot of great ideas, and a progressive platform I can get behind. Even simple stuff that should be discussed more- like getting rid of the fucking penny.  

Cajun fillet biscuits and Bo-tato rounds for ALL!

If you like Bacon Jam- you should try my Mamaw’s tomato bacon jam. You chop up tomatoes, and in my family we always fancy it up with the heirloom striped ones from the farmers market(if we didn’t grow any.) It’s basically the same recipe, but after the onions, you fry the chopped up tomatoes and she didn’t use coffee,

I just cannot fathom the level of pbsession people have for CFA. It’s not that great, it is just decent fast food chicken, but if you say you don’t like it people react like you punched their baby. You want some CFA chicken? Marinate your breast in pickle brine and add powdered sugar to your breading. Boom. 

And, don’t forget Ok Computer and Aenima for the tween/teen who was hellbent on appearing smart and jaded at 15. (* I still love OK Computer with a lasting and deep conviction*)

Well, thank you for that but you are unfortunately very much in the minority. And that’s where a lot of people are coming from. It’s not: “everyone always keep your children at home all the time!” It’s: “they are your children and if you let them disturb other people by yelling, screaming, running, etc you are an

Ok, so yeah kids ARE loud, and I am very sensitive to really high pitched sounds, so I don’t go to family oriented restaurants. It was AMAZINGLY unfair when for my 5th anniversary(so, a nicer than average dining out trip) my husband and I were subjected to a toddler who didn’t just scream, she *squealed* at a pitch

I generally really like you as a commenter, but this is a bad take. I don’t have kids, and I don’t want a childfree experience, but I also think it is HELLA unfair if your kids ruin my dinner. If they are well behaved,  awesome! If not, keep em at home or at family friendly establishments. 

I'm sorry for your loss.
