Yeah, I don’t think I ever spoke to my guidance counsellor. What I did do, though, was focus on colleges that I knew I could get into and that were right for me. All these people were so focused on college as a status symbol that they neglected to think about what would be the best fit for their particular kid. Life…

I’ll be really happy when people stop fetishizing Nancy Meyers Kitchens sufficiently to stop asking me to build them one. :/ In a 12'x12' room. On a limited budget. But with quartz tops and a 48" Thermador. And an island you could play table tennis on. Maybe it’s the glamour cast by things Hollywood, but these sorts of…

Thank you. This is basically my sister. She was already the one doing all that when they were just living together pre marriage. Of course he’s an unequal partner and a shitty co-parent. And yet she still had a 2nd kid with him and is now angrier and more miserable than when she had just the one. I could see putting…

Yeah, it’s not a great solution as is. From my experience (for whatever that’s worth), a few of my peers from law school got a job as public defenders to try and take advantage of the program and almost all of them burned out after a few years and were stuck with experience in only criminal law but now realizing that…

I wish I was at all surprised by this. Instead, I’m just very, very tired of trash men. 

If only people didn’t judge others for wanting to live closer to work, and wanting a higher paying urban job to be able to enjoy a comfortable life. 

Oh, that comment was about my school district’s free in-school clinics. They will see kids for free and write scripts. It was a reply to a reply. I’m in Florida.

Probably for the same reason the superintendent needed to come over and clean for the child. My guess is the grandparents can’t (or can and just don’t) take care of the kid. They probably never even applied for that kind of aid. Maybe they didn’t know it existed.

Judy GREER, not Grier ! I try not to be a pedantic asshole on these things (and admittedly often fail) but she’s been a longtime favorite of mine.

If I was a god, this video is what I’d base all of creation on.

Suffer!?! This is on my playlist of songs I never get tired of!

Now that the song is stuck in my head, we can suffer together

*Luther Vandross voice* Never too much.

Just to be clear, I am critiquing the ridiculous cost of higher-ed in the United States in my comment. I think that these two are doing a wonderful thing here. It’s just a damn shame that $1m covers so few these days. That amount should be able to put 20 or more through 4 years of college. Not a measley 11.

Men shouldn’t have sex if they’re not prepared to accept that the woman may get an abortion.

Brutal - adjective - savagely violent; punishingly hard or uncomfortable

I know what - in Chicago as well (formerly in Los Angeles) and am giving serious side-eye to someone who is struggling on 120K in Chicago. Perhaps it’s my inherent comparison to eight years in LA but...not sure what you’re doing here to be struggling on that salary. Maybe move out of West Loop...

My Love is Your Love never gets any credit (song and album!). I saw Sandra Bernhard’s show last fall and she sang at the end. I was floored.
