Chateau Meowmont. Or hell, make it even more pretentiously French: Chateau Miaomont

Any system that values hierarchy instead of equality does this. See religions, ‘family values’, scouts, the list goes on.

I’m sure some do. But when dealing with corporal abuse, or radically inadequate home schooling, one hears a lot of: the government should keep its nose out of my damn business!

I lost my sh*t watching this episode last night. Between the parents not GAF and the other “adults” BLAMING the CHILDREN for the bad behavior of other ADULTS, I was at a loss for words. I just made choking noise while my husband held my hand. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse/assault/misconduct (that went hand…

What is it about religion that cultivates the abuse and exploitation of children?

what. the. fuck.

Why are there so many organizations in this country that make me feel rage? I’m going to rage stroke out one of these days because people can’t just be fucking human beings and in no particular order: keep it in their pants, keep their hands to themselves, and stop worrying about differences in people that literally…

When they said “ Pick someone else” I thought: ‘ how about you?’

Law enforcement turns a blind eye to sexual abuse happening in hermetic communities: this is true of Scientology, of the Amish, of Hasidim, and surely others. Sometimes, it is a misguided attempt to allow communities to monitor their own, and sometimes the reasons are far more pernicious: political power, fiscal…

“The seven-year-old who shudders because a man kisses her is not computing ... at seven she should see nothing wrong in a kiss, not even a passionate one.”

My beautiful girlfriend’s name is Dorian. Don’t need to make it an “iah” to be female...

Have you never heard of Dorian Lord, the matriarch on One Life to Live? ;)

St. Vincent directing a female Dorian Gray. This is beautiful on so many levels. Even (as I am) forgetting the ‘version’ part of it... it’s so beautiful! Will she be a Dariah?

It sounds like you’re telling me I shouldn’t have adopted a panda after seeing Kung Fu Panda. How very wrong you are.

Here’s my moment to say: you don’t “need” a special dog breed to be a family pet. If you have allergies, or have sheep to herd, or need a hunting animal or whatever ok fine. But if you just want something to love and be loved by, there is no better place to find that friend than your local shelter. Every pet we’ve had…

I grew up with Huskies and Malamutes, and they are the best, most pain-in-the-ass dogs ever. My first Husky liked to eat cash. Twenties, not ones or fives, even. So smart, so busy, and so much fur. Your Georgia is a beauty, I’m glad you found each other. I still miss mine, and it’s been 30 years.

I happened upon a husky mix 5 years ago and after several weeks of searching for her home with no luck, decided to keep her. She is the sweetest dog but Jesus is she hard work. They’re escape artists and runners and will not stop. After an entire year of obedience school and a real-time GPS collar, we’re a lot…

PETA has some nerve telling anyone about animal adoption given their tendency to euthanize adoptable animals in what they refer to as “mercy killing”.

Girl...it was like the dragon called him, “papa.” I’m just going to skip next week’s episode so I can have a satisfying 2 1/2 hour viewing of GOT because I know there will be a cliff hanger. Game of Edging, I swear.

Who needs a unified front and winning the larger argument when you can nitpick buzzwords and ignore intent? Richard_Cream is every service industry manager bully-policing allies is his pinnacle
