In 1968, my 8 year old mom would tag along with my grandpa to get gas on Saturdays. She had an obvious crush on the teenaged pump boy, and told grandpa she was going to marry him.

I was hoping to do this, but I am discovering that there are now laws in place (at least in my area) that make it harder to let your kids have a little freedom.  In my state, you can’t leave a kid home alone until they are THIRTEEN.  And don’t even get me started on school pickup - its basically a whole chain of…

Attended - and its AMAZING.  I work with the librarians at every meeting and let me tell you, they are all remarkable human beings - real everyday heroes living the their truth and spreading real truth.  I got nothing but love for them <3

This is party-sanctioned domestic terrorism.

Except when she’s clapping back at Taylor Swift haha

As a fan of both shows and both actors...no. Just, no.

Oh my god you’re my fairy grey-mother thank you so much!

My dad is a polio survivor - he was lucky enough to just have it in one leg. He does live with post-polio syndrome, but even scarier to think about is the PTSD he has from the polio ward. He doesn’t talk about it much, but I remember him saying once that some of the children called the nurses mommy, because their…

That’s terrible! I’m so sorry you went through that.

Good to know they’ve already processed their backlog of rape kits so that they have time for something important like this. /s

Agreed except for Firecracker Pops because they are essentially 3 flavors of Italian Ice on a stick and they taste like FREEDOM, OK?

Oh 100000% agree to that.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like it. It just doesn’t do it for me. I feel like a bad feminist admitting it haha...

Just here to comment on how relatable this title is <3

Agreed. The Sac Bee quotes the lead detective saying, “He is 72, ‘but he’s moving around like a young 50-year-old man,’ [Paul] Holes said.”

Came here to say the same thing about the trial. But also agree that there’s still a great deal of hubris in him saying that McNamara had nothing to do with it. Ugh.

You know, I’m really surprised Jez hasn’t covered MFM and the Murderino cult following, considering its this perfect intersection of pop culture and feminism.

See I love sanitation but I’d poop outside if it meant keeping my furbaby. I am that person.
