Oh, and y’all concern trolls can take your cries of “hypocrisy” and see if they protect you when Trump’s brownshirts have you up against the wall. Like, really, save it. People out here trying every legal way to prevent fascism and you’re tone policing and concern trolling about “optics.”

I am from the UK and I disagree. Most people’s interest in the Royals is this: do we get a public holiday for whatever event it is? Yes - great. No - not interested.

Don’t worry. This one’s a joke.

Yes I did & still am. I was addicted to pain pills for 4+ years. I have been sober for 11 months & 16 days now. Dec. 1st will be one year for me. I am just now starting to sleep better, memory is slowing improving but the most frustrating part is forgetting what I am saying mid-sentence and misspelling words. I used…

Try duolingo. I was doing for a while and it was pretty fun and effective.

Not addiction, but Lyme disease. I do this about 10 or so times a day, more so if it is a hard day at work. I feel bad for this girl.

I have it from head trauma, not substance use, but it’s to the same end. With me I usually lose one specific word, I know the word in my head and can describe it , but totally can’t remember the verbal assigned name.

I was always under the impression that Marrakech in particular too was kind of a “gay” town anyway - what with AbFab and that season of America’s Next Top Model.

Thanks for the heads-up, I appreciate it. There does seem to be an unfortunate history of poorly-written wrong-headed responses, though I try not to judge someone on anything other than what they’ve written to me directly.

I’m sorry that my life experience, and that of the countless Moroccan women I’m related to/ friends with/ have worked with/ etc, doesn’t align neatly with the ‘several accounts’ you’ve read. I’m not saying those accounts are untrue, (which ones, BTW? curious) just that they’re not necessarily representative of an…

Whoo boy. Okay. I’m gonna try to shed some light on Morocco, because while this incident is heinous, it’s rare, and I’m seeing some ignorant comments. Obviously I’m not gonna be able to speak for every Moroccan, this is just my observations.

please stop with the manufactured outrage outrage and learn humor.

My seven-year-old, who is obsessed with Hamilton, recently willingly and of his own volition purchased a children’s biography of Millard Fillmore. MILLARD FILLMORE!

Wait, are you the one getting married, or your parents?

So many good ones! This is my go-to.

‘She doesn’t even go here’ is the Mean Girls line that I use most in my regular life.

Yeah, your friend’s wife may have told you that, but odds are she never had a student with that name; black , white or otherwise.
