Honey, yes they are. That’s why if you live in an even marginally rational place, the guys parking the cars at the hospital INSTALL THEM FOR YOU when you check out to bring your baby home. They climb into the back seat, press their backs against the shell, and pull those straps extremely tight. Then they get in…

Stories of kids in peril push my buttons. As another commenter posted, maybe this was a one-time mistake and the odds went agin ‘em. I’m a gramps of 3 little ones. I get riled up and make no bones about it.

Its the paper ballots that really need recounting - and provisional ballots.... the voter suppression this election was astounding and you can chalk it up to the gutting of the Voting Rights Act by the Republicans. It’s minorities that were purged from the rolls and turned away in all those swing states, not rural…

Last year I had two vegetarians, one vegan, one celiac, and one guy who is allergic to all things cow. I had to make a goddamn spreadsheet.

Jewish people have been warning everyone about this for the last decade, and literally nobody listened. This shit has been happening across Europe out in the open for quite some time. Now it’s out in the open here, too. But everyone just wanted to stick their fingers in their ears and tell Jews that our problems…

I’ve told this story here at Jez but I will repeat it again. And I’m calling my former rep in PA and telling them and anyone who will listen the same story over and over again until they vote this 20 week ban down when it comes up again.

At our 20 week ultrasound we found out our son had a condition where he…

It’s infuriating.

Agreed.

Like sands through the hourglass, these are the fucked up days of our lives.

Here’s why this matters. I am 32 years old. I still have very distinct memories of my second grade class celebrating Black history month February 1993, and wondering to myself how much longer this month would go on- Because at 8, I did not understand the importance of taking a moment to single out Black American’s…

Were we always this stupid? I’m getting close to wrapping up my fifth decade on this rock.

Yeah. When you’re not worried about being a target/victim, it’s really easy to put things on a back burner.

I’ll never forget this article from last year about Kentucky’s surprise election of governor Matt Bevin, who ran on a platform that had a main plank of dismantling the extremely successful health care system the state had created under the ACA. It foreshadowed this election perfectly. Look at this quote:

All I know is, in every photograph Steve Bannon looks like he just took a schvitz with his clothes on.

The fact that this acceptable to a majority of the country...

The fact that this acceptable to a majority of the country is frightening beyond belief. It’s equally frightening and depressing to realize that a large percentage of the population of this country support this kind of shit.

On top of everything else I’m not sure what bothers me more.........that a large percentage of…

so does someone have to give it to you or do you keep the cyanide pill on your desk
