Sure, because we ushered in the American Revolution Part 2 (electric boogaloo) when Actual Dumpster Fire (tm) Trump was elected in the first place, right?

As the late, great George Carlin said: “If you’re preborn, you’re great. If you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”

My father died of metastatic small cell lung cancer. The first place it spread to was his brain, and we had to watch him just... disappear as it ate his brain. Near the end, he didn’t recognize any of us, not even mom. Fuck cancer and fuck the people celebrating McCains illness. No one deserves to suffer like that.

What the actual fuck is Trump banging on about in his tweets? They make even less sense than usual.

Almost everyone who knew him liked my dad. He was a genuinely good person and an excellent father.

Ugh. I am constantly reminded that DeVos was the only person my father ever swore not to work with. He advocated the ‘kill them with kindness’ approach to interpersonal conflicts, he tried to find the best in everyone, but he could not stand her. IIRC, he actually called her a bitch.

I heard that on Michigan radio as I was heading out of the Walgreens parking lot. I actually pulled into another space so I wouldn’t be crying and driving. I hope Michigan State and US Gymnastics get nailed to the wall for their complicity in this.

I’m fine - the hysterectomy was precautionary because I had endometrial hyperplasia and couldn’t take the medicine that controls it. My terrible tension headaches went away on hrt, and I no longer dread the random week of cramps and misery.

My niece was in the NICU for three months. She’s gonna grow up thinking her middle name is ‘thank god for TriCare!’

Damn my uterus for trying to develop cancer! Had I but known that I would be called upon for such a sacred duty, I would have... Well, still had my entire reproductive system removed. I’m so selfish!

Tyr 1? Cute. Cute but obvious.

My family got so many horrible diet suggestions when dad was diagnosed that I basically had a facebook tantrum - he was dying, and if he wanted to eat nothing but candy bars and cheetos, that’s what he would fucking well get, and everyone else could take a long walk off a short pier.

Dear gods, the article title makes me think of a reeeeeeeaaaaaallllllyyyy skeevy Mary Sue RPF.

It bears repeating that my father, one of the kindest and most even tempered man I’ve known, called Betsy DeVos a bitch after working with her on some committee or another.

Given that her mother in law paid for a truly amazing children’s hospital in Grand Rapids, she might have at least had the announcement delayed until after Helen’s funeral...

Wouldn’t you be?

An important reminder.

Shit, that bitch lives in Holland? That is WAY too close to my house for my comfort. I thought she lived in Grand Rapids. Ew. Plus that is one of the ugliest houses that I have ever seen.

The color’s pretty boring, but I like the hexagons. Takes up less space in the drawer/on the shelf.

She guards my access to my nephew and niece. I bite my tongue and we don’t talk politics.
