Damien here was the best cat ever. My son has aspergers and having this cat did so much for him. Son used to sleep with Damien like he would a stuffed animal, arms wrapped around him. Damien got sick and died at 2.5. My son never could understand why other cats we've had didn't like to be held like Damien....

Of course, he went with repression. He can't exactly make the "sanctity of traditional marriage" argument.

There are no LGBT+ clubs, at least as far as my own experiences go. There are no Gay Straight Alliances or PRIDE groups.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but her daughter didn't do anything other than passively be conceived and grow in the womb. If you consider that body "ruined" (I don't), you could say that pregnancy ruined her body, or that she ruined her body by choosing to become pregnant and carry the fetus to term, but…

Kid doesn't have a right to express his views by making a scene. Kid didn't make a scene, kid sat there. Teacher made a scene by harassing the kid.

I actually do regret having them and it feels horrible to admit, especially when no one else in my world has ever admitted it to me. I will say this, though: my oldest will be 15 in a couple of weeks and man, he is actually a pleasure to be around. As in, I genuinely enjoy his company and don't in any way feel like…

My comment is hardly a "rant." Not in any sense of the word. It's almost like using "literally" to mean "figuratively."

seriously. she was very obviously taking the piss and it's obvious she wasn't implying that slave women enjoyed being in that position - that's the whole point - but unfortunately comedy and a stupid audience don't mix. anyone who thought her joke was disrespectful to the plight of black slave women is a fucking…

That's just the nature of bullies. If you stand up to them they scream that they are the ones being victimized. Because victims daring to turn tables on the bullies are disturbing the order in nature..

Oh, there are tons of ways to report bullying. Too bad the parents, teachers, and principals are typically useless and uninterested in stopping bullying.

oh man, I remember being 11 and my little ginger boyfriend coming round to my house for like a date. We literally didn't talk all day; we hung out, played cards and basketball, went for a walk together ALL WITHOUT SAYING A WORD! That age is awkward as shit.

Well, I look at it like just a bit of karma. Males remind of me schoolyard bullies that go around pushing everyone, and then when just one person pushes back to give them a taste of their medicine, they start crying and run to a teacher. It's funny how they can dish it out, but start crying immediately because they…

I like to believe that these are things he says in real life to the vast discomfort of those around him. "Hey Colton, how's it going today?" "GOD HAS A FIRE SWORD."

Did he at least get to change his last name while he was in Heaven with the forever babies and God's Fire Sword?

If I want to not eat GMO foods, I should be able to do that. I see it like putting 'vegetarian' or 'vegan' or 'kosher' labels on food. I also just fucking hate Monsanto and everything they do and have done to our nation's farm families and rural communities, but I imagine we don't agree. So! Just Label It.

GMOs are one of the single most dangerous technologies for food security—and it has nothing to do with their alleged "safety."

I had a customer a few weeks ago who was sitting at the VLT's when I got in for my shift, she decided she wanted a drink and did that noise people use when getting a dogs attention and then in a rude tone told me what she was drinking, after bringing her drink she waved her hand imperiously and turned back to her…

As a child who was beaten, I wish there had been photos taken of me as proof. I have had many people in my life (close family and friends) who disbelieved what had happened to me because my dad seemed like such a "good guy". I think it needs to been shown what people do to their kids. His face isn't shown, he is…

Oh yeah, I was lucky enough to be a server before everyone was not eating gluten, but boy was it fun when someone would come in and say they were allergic to garlic. Because inevitably, I would very carefully explain to them which things contained garlic and therefore weren't safe for them, and they would order…

I loved this book. I read it probably a dozen times when I was 10-11 yrs old.
