That Brian Stelter tweet is exactly what I was looking for; proof that, as suspected, Donald Trump just completely made the whole thing up. The man is unhinged.

A few months ago my anxiety got so bad I made myself go a whole weekend without any news. I pretty much just read books the whole time. It was glorious. Honestly, I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten. I wanted to go longer without the news, but then my anxiety manifested itself in another way. I kept thinking “OMG…

Our one chicken, Yolko Ono, is seriously the most outgoing, funky chick I’ve ever met! I want to get a harness and walk her, but my husband said I’m nuts (they do sell harnesses for chickens at our local farm store!)

We got them from a local farmer when they were young pullets @7 weeks old. She picked the most docile ones that came towards her right away. The next day, she had a chicken party and 12 little girls held them, sang to them, and got them very used to human contact in the kindest way.

If I remember right, Robert Reich covers this in Supercapitalism. There was a point when the business culture was more willing to look long term, but we left that behind by the ‘80s and we’ve incentivized short term benefits over long term policy.

Politico ran a really unfair and biased piece against the SPLC today. A piece which frames itself as allowing criticism, but ends up carrying water for a number of hate groups/individuals as diverse as white supremacists (CIS), rabidly anti-gay conservatives (FRC), anti-Muslim groups/individuals (Frank Gaffney, Maajid…

The #AmazonWashingtonPost, sometimes referred to as the guardian of Amazon not paying internet taxes (which they should) is FAKE NEWS!

We just got pet chickens for my youngest daughter’s birthday (she has been writing chicken poetry, making chicken art in school, and has been completely obsessed for the past year). Watching live chicken tv is extremely entertaining! They follow her around the yard (we call her the chicken whisperer) and I can tune…

I can understand wanting the rich to get richer. It’s how a lot of them work and a part of their nature.

I don’t really have time right now, but can someone point me in the direction of why this Medicaid spending going up is not what GOP is claiming it is?

So due to the depressing crushing hell hole that is our current news cycle I have stopped watching the nightly national news for the first time in my life, and honestly I feel much better now.

That Enron pic should absolutely be the featured image. Of the whole internet. “So much for my Wharton MBA, let’s see what getting down to my chonies can do for my retirement fund.”

At what point can we just start filing class action lawsuits against Pruitt and Dow Checmical for poisoning our population? Can’t we show a bunch of pictures of miscarried deformed fetuses found to have that chemical in their systems? I mean, 55 fucking thousand pediatricians signed on to say this shit dmages kids…

I don’t know anybody who even noticed there were articles in there. xD

I went to an all-women, feminist party back in the 70's at which a thrilling round of pin-the-penis-on-the-pinup was played. With a blindfold, construction paper penises and and the obligatory pinup with limp dick from Playgirl. True story. (Other parlor games were also played, and homemade candy and tea were…

I’m old enough to have discovered it around junior-high time, juuuust in time to get horny— my big sister was in high school & still trying to prove to herself that maybe she wasn’t really gay, so she’d bring home Playgirls and even bought one of the decks of Playgirl playing-cards (which me and my little friends used…

UK Update:

My first boyfriend’s old boyfriend posed for Playgirl in the late ‘70s wearing an Aztec headdress and nothing else; never got a copy of that photo so this will have to do:

We found a bunch of issues in my late grandmother’s attic a few years ago. My favorite shot from the 5 magazines I, um, inherited:

Yep.
