It blows my mind that people were allowed to jack up rents like that. I’m sure someone will have a defense for it, but it just seems like a shitty way to treat people who are already in a shitty situation.

This is so fucked up. I’ve been listening to the Death, Sex, and Money podcast’s series on this and it’s stunning* to me how this country can still turn its back on entire cities of people while they suffer and then try to scrub their existence clean once the citizens attempt to make their homes habitable again.

I should have refreshed before replying :/ my bad

The day that the Oxford Dictionaries release their new additions is MY FAVOURITE DAY OF THE YEAR. Oh my god you guys, it is THE BEST. It’s like word-nerd Christmas only so so so so much better because you get to watch the spasms of outraged sphincter-clenching from people losing their tiny minds over the fact that…

There is something attractive about bitchface that I can't properly articulate. If you see where I am coming from perhaps you can help me?

The day Oxford adds “irregardless” to it’s lexicon is the day that I officially give up.

We could just combine the Urban and Oxford dictionaries and call it a day.

Honestly, this makes me sort of like him. Like, not enough to follow him on Twitter or to listen to his music or anything. Just enough that when I hear his name I may not taste bile at all.

This makes me much, much happier than it should. The idea of Ed Sheeran randomly living his entire life just to irritate you is so much better than the idea that he’s doing all of this because he thinks it’s a good idea.

Lfind the concept of having to pay out the ass to adopt so ludicrous. We keep hearing all the time there are tons of kids who need home, or crap about how “you don’t need money to have a baby, just alter your lifestyle/cut your spending”.

ETA: Didn’t see you’d already responded to posts about this. Sorry.

Yup. Turkey bacon is an abomination.

nature is trying to tell you to eat normal bacon

She said “I’m lucky I looked good enough on paper (and I suppose in person) to qualify for an adoption...”

Agreed. I am totally willing to adopt or have a kid out of my lady hole, but we’re gonna try the biological way first because it is way cheaper and we live in a state in which unmarrieds can’t jointly adopt. Pretty good reasons, in my opinion.

I wish people would stop with the adoption vs birth thing. They’re not at all the same and one is not a substitute for the other (and neither is a superior choice for everyone). Personally, I don’t want to have kids, but even a childless shrew like me knows that decision is waaaaaay too personal for me to impose my…

Don’t let those early numbers scare you. Usually, it’s nothing. If you’re above 35, they consider you at higher than normal risk anyway. You’re gonna be fine. My tests showed the same thing and my son is perfect. Don’t lose hope.

Did you read the article? Or did you just want to judge someone? The author began the adoption process and then finally conceived. Adoption is neither cheap nor easy, especially for single people.

Watermelon gum. Apparently bears will walk miles to eat watermelon gum.

- Dude who one day walked out of a bathroom* in Sequioa National Park and into a bear’s ass who was licking the watermelon gum that someone had stuck under the fountain spigot.

*Yes, thank god it was a bathroom since I crapped my pants.

And the…
