Yes!

Me too. I wonder if it’s that I can’t unlink the story from the picture of his face, or if it’s some buried detect-a-serial-killer type instinct kicking in.

But the reason defense attorneys do it is because the strategy works. If a jury looked at the blame the victim approach with even the same pinch of salt as political attack ads then the strategy wouldn’t be such a sure winner.

Changing the narrative and believing in body diversity and renaming things so that the stigma will be momentarily removed — yeah, that’s all great. I’m not looking for a revolution, I just want a comfy sweater that doesn’t have anything cowl or asymmetrical about it.

He might just be trying to get the top google result for ‘Santorum’ to be something else.

“Respect for stay-at-home mothers has been poisoned by a toxic combination of the village elders’ war on the traditional family and radical feminism’s misogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect.’’

Be prepared, that first set of grades is going to be lower than you’d expect (though not to the point of failing!) just because of the adjustment crap. Probably saw that when he started prep school too.

Ugh, the first set of grades. No one does as well in their first semester as they expect. Too much adjusting going on. Pretty terrifying when it happens though, I thought I was going to have to drop out and work at Walmart because I got a C for the first time.

My mom said she actually worried less when I was away at college than when I was in high school because there wasn’t anything specific to worry about. It’s harder to pin your worry on something when you don’t have the details of someone’s schedule. So maybe that’s something to look forward to? Good luck.

Classes are only part of a college schedule. There are extracurricular obligations (anything from chess club to political activity), friends, the only time to catch the history professor actually in his office, another prank fire alarm, the best time to get into the gym without fighting for a treadmill. The only…

Anecdote ahead:

Mom here is being a bit of an ass venting to a third party rather than writing an email to her daughter saying that she values their relationship but feels like she’s losing touch, understands Daughter is busy so would like to set up a regular time to talk so that she still feels included without interrupting busy…

It’s disappointing not only because they faked being afraid of something in order to harass a child, but because they faked it so poorly that anyone with a basic grasp of logic can figure out they were faking.

No one in this situation believed it was a bomb, because no one initiated an evacuation. The teacher, principal, and police were willing to bet their lives that it was not a bomb — as evidenced by them moving the clock, leaving it in the office without a bomb tech securing it.

Where are our friendly, neighborhood Satanists? Aren’t they the ones who usually humorously defeat the small minded local twits trying to squash free expression of religion? Dang it, Satanists. We are counting on you!

Because small children are intrinsically creepy.

For celebrity children everywhere, how old do you have to be to legally change your name?

The premise that women are powerful only in the realm of controlling men through sex is a concept that ought to have stayed in ancient Greece.

Doxxing anyone isn’t appropriate for a journalist, regardless of whether they had some connection to a crime or not.

My father asked me which republican I would pick to be in the white house if I had to pick one. I think my brain actually blue-screened and reset.
