I feel like if Trump wins the nomination (let alone the election, both of which I know are big ifs), someone is going to get shot. I don’t mean Trump either. The tone of his campaign and supporters is increasingly violent, their actions/rhetoric are consistently escalating. Even if this is “no worse” than a supporter

When he says “do you know that?”...is it just ultra condescending and cringe worthy? or is that just me...

And, playing the fiddle, what year do you guys study that? Is that like an introductory thing or do you come into the yeshiva already knowing how to play? And, is the roof added when you are more proficient in your fiddle playing or do they get you right up on the roof at the start?

dude what horseradish ever did to you?

I mean, growing up my favorite movie was Torah! Torah! Torah!

My guess is he’s working off of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat”

I think shiksplaining has a better ring to it.

whether Moses or Abraham is more important to the Jews.

Are you there, Bev? It’s all of us.


I just don’t have it in me to kill a book.

One of these days, some person will say some insensitive shit about race, and won’t include the hypothetical green and/or purple people in their sorry-not-sorry, or just not-sorry in this case, response and I’ll think to myself, “Progress!”

That comment reminded me of when GOOPy complained about living in the United States.

I bet people means Sean Penn, but he asked her, like, 12 times because he was kind of drunk and forgot he asked two days earlier.

“People always ask me, ‘Why [do] you play such deconstructed characters?’”

I feel like the graph of the amount of time you’re on the Disney Channel after you turn 21 vs your likelihood to turn to drinking is an exponential curve.

I’ve been a stay-at-home father for about 5 years now. People treat me like I am getting away with something.

Yesterdays Mindy project hit me hard too. Like seriously hard as me and my husband and trying to conceive and I worry about what the choices we will have to make will do to our relationship. We will probably be fine I’m just emotional for some reason this week. Probably the fact that I just worked 10 days in a row

I had people suggest that if I was a stress analysis engineer (instead of a project engineer) I could have worked at home with my baby. I can only guess these people have never met a real life toddler. You can hardly sort laundry with a one year old, let alone do detailed computer analysis of high pressure steam

I work at home and I get constant shit - two years in - for BabyStu going to daycare. “But you’re already at home, can’t you just work around playing with him? Why would you let someone else raise him so you can lounge around all day?”

I think one of the reasons the gender aspect is under-discussed is the continued backlash against mothers who work. You should want to stay home with your child anyway! Don’t you feel guilty letting someone else raise them? How selfish to keep working when you have to pay someone such a large part of your income to
