If you were so perfect and well-adjusted you wouldn’t be on websites telling other people how to parent.

So you’re just a judgemental dick then. Carry on. 

Let me guess, no kids? 

As far as I can tell, the only problem our current crop of Republicans has expressed with government overreach is that it doesn’t reach as far as it can into my uterus.

People always forget that religion is a choice. There are a zillion brands of Christianity in this country alone, and no human is born trademarked to any sect. People say their religion forces them to believe that gays are evil or vaccines are toxins and public education is gubmint mind control because they choose to…

It’s called Everlane, Uniqlo, or Muji.

All of this (plus wanting POCKETS IN EVERYTHING) is why I started sewing again. As a lady of a certain age, I want clothes with a nice shape, lots of pockets, in nice fabrics.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Good point. Makes me think of that time I tried a marijuana brownie but couldn’t keep the damn thing lit. 

I’ve been known to mix alcohol and weed together and put it in a dark place for a few weeks. The resulting infusion is a delight.

Well if you mix alcohol and cannabis its either impossible to smoke because the weed is too wet or its difficult to drink because you keep choking on the inhaled chunks of weed in your drink.

Shocked I tell you.

good god i miss old-school gap from my high school and college days. so many of my favorite basics came from them, from plain ordinary straight-leg jeans (not tapered, not flared, not wide, not skinny, just goddamn straight), basic short and long-sleeve shirts in any number of colors that could withstand many a…

i’ve lived in WV for 15 years. i met my wife here and there are many truly wonderful people.

One of the most aggravating styles out there for me (as a guy) is the tapered leg in jeans and running pants, even in 35 and 36W. Shoot, 35W is a relic anymore.

Strangely, until California joined them a few years ago after repeated outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases, West Virginia and Mississippi were the only two states that required vaccinations for all children. These bills would just make these two states like the other 47 states in the union that allow religious…

Even most religious leaders endorse vaccination. Why are we privileging a crackpot fringe? 

“I’m not a religious leader, and I’m not a scientist either, so it’s my job to weigh both sides,”...

seriously, the “I’m just asking questions here” anti-vax line infuriates me more than just about anything that comes out of their mouths.  This is NOT a debate, this is SETTLED SCIENCE.  I bet when Salk invented the vaccine he never realized they’d be SO good that people would question their value because they’d never…

I have a genuine question. Is the current GOP strategy literally to just disagree with whatever is said by people on the left?
