Gee, I wonder why these women didn’t come forward sooner? I wish I could smack every single person who thinks that if you don’t report something immediately, then it didn’t happen or “wasn’t that bad.”

Exactly. Montgomery had a hard life, and I think she idealized things a bit in her books as an escape. Not to say that her books don’t have tragedy (death, dysfunctional families, bullying, etc), but the feel of the books overall is hopeful. Not that life is perfect, but that life, overall, is full of beauty if…

Ah, how lucky for you that you only have one! I live in a red state, and though I have plenty of progressive friends, most of my relatives are “red hot Republicans.”

Her mom went in for an abortion and they used a procedure that isn’t used anymore. She was born alive but has suffered permanent damage to her health because of it. So, she really is an abortion survivor.

I feel so free now, ever since a friend told me that I could hide posts from certain sources. I knew I could hide people, but there are people that I care about that I also deeply disagree with. So, I was trying to decide if I should hide them entirely or not, or maybe just up until the election and then unhide them…

It really is just a bit too obvious. Did you like the recent TV show? I didn’t care for it.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen Ghostbusters that I didn’t pick up on the reference! That makes more sense than a randomly gross name.

Most surreal moment of the week so far: discussing the Muppets with mother puss bucket.

I’m going to assume that you’ve never seen Muppets Treasure Island because if you had, you would know that it is a CLASSIC.

“When You’re a Professional Pirate” is probably my favorite part. My brothers and I are all in our 30s and late 20s, and we watched it again last year when we were all together for Christmas. It doesn’t get old! (First we watched Muppets Christmas Carol, naturally, and after that we were in the mood for more…

I still say his finest role was as Long John Silver in Muppets Treasure Island.

I mean, even if they meant it as a joke, it’s really dumb. “LOL, she knows the leader of ISIS’ name!” Yeah, she really, really should know it, since she wants to be president and all. HOW IS THAT FUNNY? But yeah, they’re pretty proud of their ignorance. My family is really depressing me right now. At least my…

I need to vent: three (that’s 3) of my family members have posted some version of “LOL she said ‘Bagdaddy’” on Facebook. I am BARELY holding myself back from telling them that if they weren’t so ignorant, they’d know she was talking about the leader of ISIS. You know, the reason why they don’t want Muslims to enter…

Yeah, studying the trope of the tragic mulatto in literature paints a pretty interesting picture of how people can try to help a cause and end up just perpetuating all sorts of racist assumptions. It’s fascinating! And also sad! But using “mulatto” in casual conversation? NO.

See now, if you’d said that with a sheepish yet endearing smile and offered to get her a basket too, I bet she would have been quite willing to give you her number. Screwing up is not necessarily the end! It’s all about how you react to screwing up.

Yeah, at first I was cheering Johnson on because the people I know who usually vote Republican were talking about voting for him instead.So yay, fewer votes for Trump (those people would rather set themselves on fire than vote for a Clinton, so a protest vote/staying home was the most I could hope for). Then I started…

Two by two, hands of blue.

I always just keep clicking “Load More” then I wonder why I’m having trouble sleeping :(

That’s great! It’s pretty cool that your boobs make a miracle cure, right? :)

Aw, you’re reminding me of that time I took horseback riding lessons and I was paired up with a horse named Ralph. He had a skin fungus, but was very patient. Poor Ralph.
