Yes. The answer is always yes to the question “is (fill in the blank) a good mom.

This has been truly a shit year.

OMG this made me laugh so hard at work the person in the cube next door was asking about me...

Such a relief! I’ve been so worried about him and how this will impact him and his glorious future. I am hopeful that with time he can heal from this ordeal and find his zest for life and love of steak again.

This makes a lot of sense. Fear of change and fear of the other are powerful motivators.

I’m so excited for this movie! Can’t wait!

Holy shit! What a horrible way to talk about killing a child!

Yeah, but being the person who was not in an abusive situation, I think he should of helped her come up with an escape plan that didn’t involve killing her mom. He could have picked her up while the mom was sleeping and contacted the authorities or something. I think he is much more culpable than her.

I would take it a step further. I think she was so completely gaslight that she probably isn’t even clear on what is true and what is false. When you are a kid, your parent really is god like. If they say you are sick, and have a limited mental capacity, it must be true. I bet it will take her years to sort out what…

I agree. My mother had a lot of mental issues. I think they transferred to physical issues, she would doctor hop until she got the prescriptions she wanted, and would cherry pick advice to present herself as someone needing sympathy. I. E. she would ignore comments that she was addicted to pain pills, but would lap up…

YES! I love this. In addition to being a lovely color, it really has staying power. It won’t feather and is difficult to smear. I never get it in my teeth. Just a wonderful product all around.

I don’t think gender is as binary as many people think. What makes a woman a woman and a man a man? Chromosomes? There are XY women. Genitalia? If so what to do with people who have ambiguous genitalia? Is it testosterone or estrogen levels? Is it the gender that someone was raised? That which they feel they are?

Yeah, in the HBO special I thought her point was that the joke was about rape and not OK...

Excellent catch and good point.

I don’t know how I missed this lovely article when it first came out. I wanted to add to Mami Wata’s story. I did Peace Corps in Benin, West Africa. Voodoo was still quite prevalent when I was there (2001-2003). In Benin, Mami Wata is a Voudoun, basically a spirit that is eternal, a kind of demigod. Many people there…

That is terribly tragic.

HAHAHAHAHA this is insanely cute. The dogs’ reactions are killing me.

Dogs are so weird.

I thought about getting my husband a Roomba when it was on sale as he’s the one who vacuums and he is lazy. But then I saw the price and worried how it would deal with dog vomit...My lovely boxer has a sensitive stomach. And I thought better of it. Sounds like I made the correct call on this one. Smearing dog turds…

I agree, I noticed that as well. It’s all about how it impacted him not anything about her.
