Go hug your mom for me.

It used to be a real thing, but it seems to have disappeared. When I was a kid in the 70s, some organization gave out these printed cards with a large yellow star on them, and it was supposed to denote that the house was a safe harbor, for kids or women. Again, I was a kid, so I don’t know who was running it or if it…

glad that person is the ex and that you’re still here.

I don’t know how to feel about this. On the one hand, yes, she is awful and definitely has some responsibility for his suicide. On the other, based on the description of Massachusetts law, it appears that all of the time and money spent on bringing her to trial has no chance of actually resulting in a conviction.

My father is a retired police officer. The first time my mom ever saw my dad cry was 13 years into their marriage. He was the first officer on the scene of a murder-suicide; a father killed his 2yo daughter and then himself. My dad came home that day and she found him in their bedroom crying.

Our County Department of Community Mental Health recently put out a call in my daughter’s school newsletter for volunteers to provide respite foster care for families that are overwhelmed, maybe because one of their children has a developmental delay, for example. Usually, the caregiver watches the kids for a few days…

It’s hard. Really fucking hard. I had PPD with my oldest and there’s so much shame associated. Now I have two kids and its fucking draining and exhausting. All give, all the time. And confessing that you’re not enjoying it or that you desperately need help is often met with extreme judgement or trite comments like…

$100 grand seems too low of an amount to sue for considering they slammed a girl suffering from brain tumors head to the ground. Here’s a photo of her during arrest:

Tell her to keep a close watch (she can’t, she’s blind, it’s a figure of speech) on those drugs if they’re any good. Those TSA agents can have sticky fingers I have found out the hard way. We are flying in November and I don’t know how I’m going to keep my medicine out of their hands.

This. So many people have medical conditions that security should be trained to accommodate people with various needs.

They caused a head injury to a deaf, partially blind teenager with a brainstem tumor. GOOD JOB, ASSHOLES.

Seriously, she was basically robbed.

I hope she was able to call the credit card company and get the charged dismissed. that’s bullshit.

Jesus fucking christ, dude, they are culpable for unlawful imprisonment, theft, fraud...this goes way beyond a civil suit. When are criminal charges being filed?

Macy’s reportedly detained more than 6,000 people in one year.

As much I hate to admit it. She has some points. Feminism has caused women to be unhappy because we’re actively ignoring some of the fundamental differences between men and women. Now before you beer guzzling, gas pumping, plant eating lesbians jump down my throat-hear me out!

“If women want to be taken seriously in the workforce, looking feminine is a good place to start.”

This woman wins the “I was late for work because.....” game for the rest of time.

Good for her - she’s hilarious and definitely too good for the current iteration of TDS.

Meh. Saying something ugly and regrettable in the heat of the moment kind of pales in comparison to murdering your children.
