Being a parent doesn't make you a good person. And physically making a child doesn't make you a good parent. Forcing kids to be around individuals they view as toxic is really shitty, doesn't matter who the person is.

When a kid doesn’t want to see them, any “encouragement” feels like coercion.

Again, no. Kids don’t have to spend time with a parent if they don’t want to and if that person makes them feel uncomfortable. And they are most certainly old enough to make those decisions. My father moved out when I was 12 after he finally got caught cheating. I did not want to see him, made that known, and my mom…

Yeah, no. Forcing a kid or coercing them to visit someone they don't want to see is not good parenting.

Well fuck. Where am I going to get my equal parts trashy and informative news now?

North Carolina is the only girl who looks even vaguely like a teenager to me.

Not a question, but I just really love deviled eggs. Christmas isn't complete without them.

The idea that a president needs to be a good orator is silly. President Obama is wonderful at giving speeches, but what other president truly has been? It's just a cheap veneer over sexist criticism.

I don’t really get what you're trying to get at here? Colourpop products are really great; people are just mad that they switched up the applicators. The applicators are actually better for picking up metallics and glosses.

She definitely did, and it made me get choked up too.

They also chose to change a lot of important plot details from the books, which kept me from seeing them at least.

This show was amazing. It was such a nostalgia trip without being corny. Honesty, it's the best thing Netflix has put out, and probably the best new show of the year.

I appreciate that he committed to the key he started it with, even if it meant the high note was wonky.

The fact that they killed Poussey really pisses me off. There can’t be that many white people watching the show that need to be taught a lesson on black deaths by the police at the expense of actual black people. And making the “nice” guard do it made it feel extra cheap.

That was ABC.

Fuck CBS. And for that matter, fuck all other networks for being stuck in the 50s.

They canceled the Muppets too :( And yet they keep dreck like Once Upon a Time on the air.

The show’s not dead yet! Maybe Lionsgate can sell the show to CMT or Hulu. /superindenial

I'm excited! I think they're focusing a little too heavily on the single gender aspect, and not the unregulated havens of the filthy rich aspect, but hopefully this will create some positive changes on campus.

I’m the fifth girl to the left of Obama’s head in the third row. :) I participated in a program called Girls Nation run by the American Legion Auxiliary. Two girls from every state went to D.C. for a week where we had mock Senate and mock presidential campaigns. At the end of the week we met up with Boys Nation and…
