Filler. Too much ‘tox just makes you look perpetually surprised, or totally emotionless.

You lost me at the part where Trump has a vegetable garden

Any animal would fall under the most definitions of “life” or “alive”. My point is that we can find language and the definitions of words to mean different things. You can find your meaning and I can find mine and Supreme Court justices can find theirs.

Parasites are living organisms, but based on the literal definition of “life” they don’t necessarily meet it as most parasites are incapable of reproduction without a host. Admittedly I am being super literal about this, but my point from yesterday (which I didn’t make very well- horrible day at the office) is that…

Which, as I said, is debatable based up “reproduction” and “functional activity.” What I define as those things and what you define them as may be radically different. Semantics.

I said “doesn’t exactly meet the definition” because, depending on the definition you are looking at, life can be:

Because for more than half the gestational period a fetus is (for lack of a nicer way of putting it) parasitic. And by definition a parasite is an organism that lives in another organism and is dependent on their host for survival. Obviously an unborn fetus and a tapeworm are far from the same thing, but an unviable…

I think there are a lot of “sheltered” republicans out there who truly believe that the current state of racial issues (and BLM) are by Obama’s design. What they are about to find out is that the architects of this climate are people like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey. People they can’t get rid of.

Ha! I feel like the people who use the word “classy” wouldn’t know the actual thing if it were breathing down their necks.

I think you’re right.

And it’s more fucked up because poor women are way less likely to be able to afford to keep a child, to which the right says, “no problem! Give it up for adoption!” Which is a) despicable and b) not as viable an option as it once was since people have so many ways they can become parents these days.

So, so many questions for white dude coworker. Is he an evangelical? Ever had premarital sex? If no, does he believe sex is purely meant to be had between married (heterosexual, of course) couples in the singular pursuit of conceiving? And if so, does he plan on continuing to have sex with his wife when she enters…

And yet I don’t recall the tea party being up in arms whenever Sarah Palin quit. I mean, I recognize the difference in magnitude, but I think many of those people are just dumb enough to believe that he “got a glimpse inside and the system is too “rigged” for him to deliver on his promises. And he wouldn’t want to…

And I salute you for it, friend.

Yes I can!

Sooooooooo close! It’s Mary Ann. Two words.

Thank you so much! We are very lucky to have insurance, and a doctor that agreed I could use progesterone suppositories (tmi?) during all of this. I work in news, am a serious needle phobe, and the stress is just starting to settle. I am hopeful but realistic.

Oh I know. My mother sent me a chastising email about my “foul” language in an anti-Trump insat post I put up and I was like, huh?

It’s ok. I quit a massive 17 year smoking habit over seven years ago and I haven’t missed it at all until the last week. We will be ok. We’ll find our places in the new world order. Until then, hang on. We need you.

Unfortunately I am in the middle of a miserable IVF cycle and can’t enter any Zika zones. The world is obviously against me.
