Not to mention ‘Middle Eastern’ and Jewish..

I agree. I think it is artistically powerful to keep the focus solely on this lone little girl and her vulnerablity, and leave the faces of the adults to be mentality filled in by the viewer. Then the abusers aren’t “those people”. It’s you, too. Unless you are about to step from the crowd and walk with her.

This is why I SO fucking hate all this ridiculous, stupid talk of how the white middle class voters were voting to ‘shake things up in Washington’, and get rid of ‘career politicians’. They want outsiders!

We are all Little Miss Flint.

I agree with Poodletime. Take care of yourself and do what you need to do to feel healthy and strong. And if that means sticking to small acts of individual, interpersonal kindness and inclusiveness, those are more important now than ever. Those who can be at the demonstrations will be there for you, as well. I just…

Chrissy’s tweets about making laser hair removal her platform when she is First Lady (as a response to both an idiotic Trumpian accusing her of being rich and priveledged because she said she was going for a treatment, and earlier followers wishing that she or John would run for president) was the first genuine laugh…

Btw, the stroke wasn’t immediate in the chiroprator’s office. The tear became worse and worse with normal movement. My mom said the day after the appointment, my dad started complaining of blurry vision and thinking he needed to go to the optometrist. The next day at lunch he suddenly lost control of his arm…

Thanks very much for your thoughts.

A chiropractic neck adjustment killed my perfectly healthy father two years ago. He had a kink in his neck caused by painting the house. He took the recommendation of a friend to see this chiropractor for the first time, who proceeded to tear the artery in his neck and cause a massive stroke, then brain death. So I’d…

Or the horses.

But it’s still very sad. I am sorry that you can’t have the same bonding experience that I have been having with my mom (with whom I’ve clashed on many things all my life) hating on Trump and all his supporters. Even my beloved sister, who infuriated me for voting for George W.’s second term because, in her own words,…

Quentin Tarantino also tried to get Warren to play Bill in Kill Bill, which would have made those movies SO much better. David Carradine just seemed like a tacky old hippie, not someone you would kill for or want to kill.

Didn’t know that, but it is truly heartening news! Thank you!

It also sucks to be the mother of one. My ten year old daughter can taste the difference between things that taste exactly the same to me, like brands of 2% milk or dry pasta. It makes feeding her a drag, because even if I can coax and/or bribe her to try a bite of anything new, she either gags/cries (hummus caused…

Re: ‘Hello’: If your ex doesn’t ‘ever seem to be home’ the first 300 times you call them, that is called “a hint” and it means that you can go ahead and skip making the next 700 calls.

I hate these kind of “sassy chick power” songs, which really just sound like the singer is suffering from serious Cluster B personality disorders.

AND it’s also always the same assholes screaming about murdering the unborn who then fight against any government assistance given to the women who did have the babies but need financial help to properly care for them. Affordable healthcare, and/or daycare so Mom can work, making sure the school-age children have…

She was just a young, aspiring actress (who had taken a costuming class at University) when they started their affair. Harvey didn’t want her acting and was looking to get into the fashion business anyway, so he pretty much completely invented Marchesa for her. And probably retains all rights to it? So there’s that.

I’ll give Bugs Bunny a pass. Because Whoppi says it’s ok.

Right. And there’s even this thing called “changing the subject”. It can be done in all sorts of ways, including abruptly, to politely but pointedly indicate that you are uncomfortable with the current subject.
