I feel like it’s probably the same kind of people that talk about what a “spiritual” experience parenting is and how they didn’t know what love was until they had kids and make placenta muffins, blah, blah. Which, look, it’s fantastic if you want to have kids, but one thing it doesn’t do is make you special. Literally…

“This intimate piece of me was taken,” said Lorraine Neil, a customer who never received her order. “And it can’t be retrieved again.”

This! Michael Brown was a “thug” something something “strong-armed robbery.” Yet I’ve seen Roof described as a kid more times than I can count. Fucking outrageous.

Yeah! I think, with kids, it can be important to remember that they’re not fully mature yet and, in a lot of circumstances, you might want to focus more on rehabilitative measures than you would with adults. But you can do that without dismissing the serious threat they’re posing.

Of course, the kid excuse seems to only apply to white kids. Michael Brown, you’ll recall, was a MAN at age 18 when he allegedly stole a cigarette or whatever the fuck it was that apparently justified that piece of shit ferguson officer murdering him.

This is what rubbed me the wrong way about the Confederate flag thing. I mean, it’s great that the Confederate flag is finally coming down, but there’s this creepy element of “let’s solve racism - and pat ourselves on our collective back - by dealing with the symbols, while the things the symbols represent continue…

illegal immigration leads to a “bad element” coming into the country

They all have to have a “sponsor,” someone who agrees to house and provide for them. Unless they have that, ICE will not release them. Most people know at least someone who can provide for them. In the past, immigrants would show up at Ellis Island clutching a piece of paper with a name and an address. Now it’s a…

THANK YOU for posting about this. The people who have been fighting for this are incredible, and the advocacy community is extremely happy this morning. I came in very late to the game and got to witness this policy beginning to go into action, and there is nothing better than seeing a small child eat a good…

really brave of them to let all of those dangerous children go

It’s almost like women are humans who generally know what’s best for them and their lives.

“He didn’t inherit fame or fortune from his parents, but what he did inherit was a big heart. He’s always welcoming to family and friends.”

Oddly, the first Shirley Temple film I can remember seeing wasn’t one of her early films, but rather The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. I didn’t see her in child roles until sometime later.

In Seattle doing so right this second. Ha! Also, that lady is adorbs.

The weirdest porn I ever saw was just some middle-aged bloke masterbating while crying. Then I realised I’d not turned my tablet on.

Sherbie came from a shelter just a month ago. Now he has a pillow that is exactly the right size.

I lost my marriage, my job, and my home in one week. Things could be worse, I have the bank of mom and dad to fall back on, so I’m not destitute. Just in shock. My husband decided it wasn’t worth getting clean to save our marriage, so he’s leaving me. I got fired for missing too much work taking care of him. Without a…

Awwwww. One of my pups, Buster, is absolutely amazing at sensing when I’m upset. He’s not at all a lap dog and he hates being carried (he’s only 14 pounds, but he’s a BIG DOG, and he will thank you not to forget it), but he can always tell when I’m upset, and he always comes running to curl up on my lap. And sometimes…

Where’s the best place to sell (unused) makeup besides eBay? I collected a massive amount of makeup and I realized that there’s no way I could use it in a lifetime. I’ve been selling it on eBay, but something about makeup brings out the worst in people and I’m sick of dealing with scammers on eBay.

I’ve said this before, but my disdain for Franzen became burning hatred when he wrote that NEw Yorker article about how Edith Wharton would have been a better writer if more men had wanted to fuck her. I still can’t believe more people didn’t call him out for that. Edith Wharton is 1000x the writer he will ever be.…
