“You don’t stop being a parent when your child dies”

She’s actually called Teen Talk Barbie, and her spoken phrase is really ‘math class is tough’, but she will be recorded in history as Math Is Hard Barbie.

A Jezebel reader provided RECEIPTS on Twitter!

And in those days, their hate still carried enough weight that, when she was criticized for her remark about not making cookies, she then went on to do damage-control by MAKING COOKIES. That had to sting like hell! But she never gives up and she didn’t give up. And now, thank glob, she’s getting her own back now. <3…

Somehow Lucy annoyed me a lot less than Margaret did. I felt like Lucy was confident, but Margaret was trying too hard.

Yep. This is why we old broads keep harping at the Youngs to keep history in perspective & not rest on any imaginary laurels because “we already have feminism and equal rights, it’s over”..... This kind of shit was happening while we were teenagers, young adults, college students. The 80s & 90s were the Backlash…

My friend went into a Target yesterday, and saw a bunch of onesies that said “Future President” in with the boy baby clothes. There were no such onesies on the girl baby clothes side. She took half of them off the rack and moved them to the girl side, which is why we are friends.

No. The candidates almost never make an apperance before their acceptance speach. Maybe you catch a glipse of them on Wednesday, but they are almost uniformly hidden to allow the convention to grow and grow until you finally see them and they accept the nomination on the final night.

It’s general tradition at conventions that the nominee doesn’t show up in person until the final night to make their acceptance speech. They’ll sometimes poke their head in and wave the night before, just to get the crowd going or to congratulate their veep after his/her speech, but only appearing on the final night…

I agree, though I think the NY Times really nailed it.

Yeah, I definitely understand the conflict these newspaper faced. The top news was that Hillary was officially nominated, but nothing really happened that represented that news photographically. I like the route the New York Times went.

I loved when Hillary said there are also young girls out there who will be our President in the future.

Hello! To clarify: I was not being snarky—quite the opposite.

I believe it was sincere.

“People were amazed at how insightful I was”: not something an actually insightful person would say.

I apologize for not considering the Canadians. I am so sorry. I am so so sorry.

No, No, No! I have a better idea. How about Americans put up a stink about how long the god damn election cycle is. I’m a Canadian and have to suffer the pain of our news sources reporting on this 24/7.

This is my grandmother’s story as well! She’ll be 102 by Election Day and she’s still as sharp as ever (and liberal as ever) and she can’t wait to vote for the first woman president ever. So proud of her :)

Like you, I don’t fuck the anti-choice. But Kaine is pro-choice,even if he personally opposes abortion. He recognizes that it’s not his decision to make. He is also against the death penalty, but enforced it when he was governor of Virginia, perhaps reluctantly.

this is some deep narrative analysis, and 100% plausible. a+, seconded.
