My father actively prays for the end of the world and the second coming, every night. When I told him that he was asking God to kill his only child and grandchildren, he honestly got this look on his face that told me he hadn’t really thought about that part before.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

MARTHA: “I made this adorable blue paisley muzzle for you, and it comes with a zipper so you can smoke, but you have to zip it back up when you’re done. Simply shutting the fuck up: It’s a good thing.”

I have my issues with Oprah but I’m sorry who did she drug, hold hostage, sexually assault or was accused of sexually assaulting? False equivalency , do better.

You mean Snoop Lion the Rastafarian who said he was the reincarnation of Bob Marley?

I will vote blue no matter who of course. But I will always hold a grudge against those who brought this woman down because she dared to tell us the truth that M4A will not be done overnight and will cost a lot in both money and massive job displacements.

-Having daughters doesn’t mean you’re not a misogynist.

I’m not at war with black men; I love them very much. I’m at war with misogynists. If you think the two are automatically synonymous, that’s on you, but that’s not a belief I hold, nor is it a generalization I’ll accept having projected upon me.

Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.

Don’t deliberately touch people at all without their permission. It is on fact, the law.

The Girl Scout motto is “Be prepared.”

That’s always how I treated my kids, especially my youngest who didn’t read much on his own. But I finally found the trick- at about 7, I got him 2 or 3 Goosebumps books, and suddenly he loved reading! Comic books led to illustrated novels, and so on. And one day I looked up, and Saturday morning found my kids…

Agree. Although Sanders never should have run again and just endorsed Warren from the start.

She’s going to need a strong January. I still feel like she’s probably the second most “electable” of the candidates, but she really needed Sanders to cooperate. And he is not cooperating.

Clearly we know which side of the schism The Hollywood United Methodist Church will be on. In fact, this is how it has looked for >30 years now (that ribbon is part of its architecture at this point; they were actively welcoming to LGBT parishioners before any mainline protestant congregations in LA). But of course,…

My image focused, “Karen” of a sister stole one of my teenage son’s Christmas presents at my parents’ Christmas Eve gathering. He was in that awkward, angsty stage and this really bothered him. She thought it was super funny and refused to return it, even when I quietly took her aside and asked nicely. Nothing says…

she also allowed anti-vaxxers on her show and said all that stupid bullshit about Michael Jackson earlier this year, so honestly I find it difficult to give a shit about what Kid Rock says about her(if he was spouting racial slurs that would be one thing, but this sounds like more of a personal dislike) especially…

Good for you. Distancing myself from my mother has been one of the most difficult yet rewarding things I have ever done. I second-guess myself all the time about it, but I also don’t have to deal with that emotional Russian roulette very often anymore.

I’ll see your VAWA and raise you his handling of Anita Hill.

Hildy Johnson was a hero. Sure, she spouted some anti-woman propoganda, but who among us hasn’t bought the Cool Girl BS at one time or another? And at the end of the day, she’s a born journalist and a decent shot.
