Oh this will be good. Southern Baptists marching in a blizzard.

I live in DC and work not too far from the Hill. Every year I see this invading infestation of assholes for this march. What upsets me most are the children I see - ones who are clearly to young to have made up their minds on an issue, who are being used as political props. And then on a much more practical level,…

I get misty. Then I get a little jealous (because my father was a garbage father and is a garbage person). Then I get happy again because my husband is an excellent father and my kids are so happy to spend time with him.

I’ve said it before but every time I see him interact with his daughters, every little in joke, cuddle, embarrassing Dad-ism, long suffering daughter eye roll, every time the pride and love he feels shines from his eyes and radiates from his grin I miss my father so much it’s like a gut punch. Lucky girls, lucky…

I’m positive this video was the reason for inventing this emoji

I’m ...so in love with him.

This broad really does the most and I don’t have the time nor the inclination to entertain her bullshit. So.

every month is white history month

New reports have said that drone operators face enormous levels of stress, guilt, and trauma as a result of their jobs. People who witness their friends — and even their supposed enemies — killed or hurt in the line of battle can be and are still affected.

Also one for REALLY MAKING SURE to not rush into any wars.

I think a case can be made that being a member of the Palin family is cause enough for PTSD

She sounds like she’s making a pretty solid argument for veterans to be denied access to guns.

Still, good on her for not dipping into the emergency fund for not-an-emergency. That takes a lot of willpower, especially when it’s not like she has to talk herself out of buying a lunchtime burrito with that money, but an actual long-term, life-changing purchase.

It is consistently difficult to explain how fervently I believe in this to my lovely, sentimental, romantic-at-heart boyfriend. It’s not that I don’t trust HIM, but that I need these sorts of things for my own sense of security/independence/wellbeing.

Yeah but that show was 20 years ago. I’d hope people would change and grow in that time. If she’s holding a grudge for that long, it’s a shame.

When I was getting a little bent outta shape about something, a cute English boy once told me, “Shallow up!”

“Bitches please, it’s not about being bitter,” she quips

Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

It’s not sexy to help out in your community/region. I’m an Americorps VISTA, and people have no clue what that is. I had one guy ask if it had anything to do with Job Corps. Now PeaceCorps...that’s a name that people recognize. It’s exciting and exotic and cool. But do that stuff locally? Not nearly as eye catching.
