I have always wanted my own hair castle.

I hadn’t read that you were kidding yet and I started laughing and then I was like ‘Oh, shit, what if they aren’t joking?’

No! You can stream it from PBS Online in the Masterpiece Theater. Or directly from PBS. It’s one of the few times you can stream it/watch it both in the US and in the UK at the same time!!! 9pm Eastern, 8 Central and so on.

OOOOoooooo. It looks like it can be streamed from the BBC, but... ugh not in the U.S. Why does the BBC hate the U.S.? Why?

Dr. Ruth is reading something I’d be interested in reading, clearly.

I was a lector and Eucharistic minister at my old parish. The pastor was very sociable and chatty and would talk to me during Mass up on the altar. During Mass one day, he wished me a happy birthday.

For a real life comparison to Leia’s conflict with the first order see what 7 years of dealing with Republicans has done to Barack Obama.

The thing is, with the old type of authoritarian asshole boss, there was a felt limit to their control.

the best part of my whole day is when i take off my bra. because i am a barbarian, i embrace the savagery and primitivenss of it all and roam my house grunting and eating with my hands. it’s glorious!

I used to hate getting undressed as a child because I was afraid that angels were watching. If elf on a shelf had been a thing back then, I probably would have burned it and buried the ashes in the woods.

I feel so horrible for these kids growing up in this cult and its shitty ideology. I hope that, somehow, they all can see through the bullshit and escape like Megan Phelps-Roper did.

You have to find something you like if you want to stick with it. For me, that’s martial arts and metal yoga (what it sounds like, lol). If you’re already interested in yoga, that’s probably a good place to start! You may feel self-conscious but I guarantee that in a good yoga studio, no one will be judgmental. Look…

The gender pay gap is the result of women choosing careers that pay worse, women working significantly fewer hours (about 28 on average compared to 40 for men here in Germany, similar numbers will apply in the US) and finally, women preferring salary models that yield both lower risks as well as lower financial return…

I’m just tired of swimming against the current all the time, my boss is a real clownfish, my kids are always cutting school, I just want one last splash where I spend a little time to myself, ya know?

so i run scheduling and programs at a very hippie-esque non-profit and we do one of those adopt a family xmas trees where you pick the tag and buy the present on it for an area family in need at xmas. one tag says 17 y.o. boy: axe body spray and i just want to pick it and get him something nicer and classy.

This can't be stressed enough.
