Just use baking soda. Nothing cleans a sink better. Wipe all the surface goop off, moisten the sink, sprinkle in a half cup, hit it with a sponge and some elbow grease, rinse off. Done.

People can bitch about not “resorting to violence” but part of making the world a nicer place for marginalized people is shutting up racists and other assholes. Punching Richard Spencer in the face, tossing drinks at Tomi Lahren, these aren’t just things that give me a warm fuzzy, they’re laudable actions that…

It used to be that crashes and deaths caused by driving while drunk was just considered a part of the inherent risk of driving. People drive; people drink; sometimes bad things happen. Such is life. It took a concerted effort of pissed of moms of dead kids to say that conceptualization was fucked up and it’s not only…

YES YES YES. That’s the real story here- the guns. WTF were they doing with guns within reach of their weird kid. Or any kid. All this bullying and loneliness stuff strikes me as a distraction.

Just keep at it - bring them into our horrible world as wisely as you possibly can for their age/cognitive level, with reassuring hugs afterwards. They need to know.

The fact that you care enough to be scared is a good start, though. It’s the parents who dismiss the severity of issues like these that frighten me the most.

The media may be reporting that, but people in this area are not buying it. My whole office has nothing but contempt for the shooter’s family trying to play like he is a victim. Most people want the father arrested too- for failing to secure his firearms. People are pissed.

Great writing.

I too was a quiet loner in school who got bullied by students and teachers, and I owned several trench coats over the years for what it’s worth. I also love video games and have gothy tendencies, but I never had the urge to inflict harm on others. Granted, I’m a woman and grew up in Europe.

That was really nice of him to state. I am surprised, because so few men really make any statement supporting the right to choose. And he doesn’t explicitly say, “I support women’s right to choose,” but at least he says he doesn’t support the anti-abortion campaign.

So, I guess I’m a more private or reserved person, but I feel about doing MDMA with my friends the same way that I felt when my friend asked me to be in the delivery room while she gave birth: I don’t really want to know you that well.

While us plebes are still doing whippets out of the cheese whiz canister.

I’m a sex worker and Trump absolutely 100% gives me the vibes of one of those hideous dreary clients who either refuses to use condoms so only sees sex workers who don’t insist on them, or pisses and moans and makes the booking a huge psychological ordeal for you by endlessly pressuring you into not using one all…

Don’t be the idiot that insists Vaping isn’t smoking and start puffing away mid-flight.... f’er even blew it into my face when I mentioned he shouldn’t.

Never cut “f**k you” letters out of aluminum foil and tape them to your stomach and go through the body scanner. It might get you into trouble.

9: Don’t force a conversation with the person next to you if they are trying to ignore you and everyone else.

Don’t get TSA PreCheck. If everyone gets it, you’ll ruin it for the rest of us.

And I want to make clear that I think it’s possible to have sympathy for Green as an incarcerated mother, while not having sympathy for her role in her crime. The same goes for all incarcerated mothers. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

It’s extremely frustrating to see how much you downplay/diminish Green’s crime here, especially because it’s totally unnecessary. This article is incredibly compelling and seems well researched. But seeing her crime described as Green unwittingly being a part of a murder for “giving him a ride,” it does a real…
