My husband was like “Well I mean ... it’s ok, but I don’t like hip-hop.” Then I made him listen to the WHOLE thing. He cried.
That was my very first taste of Hamilton (I know, I know).
When my husband heard people at the Broadway show sometimes sob during the entire performance, he couldn’t understand why. Well. I cried watching this. This is one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack, and it’s not like there are many video clips out there of it. If I ever get lucky enough to win the lottery for…
It’s all about the Hamiltons.
Sigh.
I’ve worked in both the private and the public sector as a primary school teacher and will be sending my child to a public school. Considering the cost I don’t always find that private schools have the best teachers. The private school I worked at did not pay that well, had longer hours and less resources for the…
Those pearls aren’t going to clutch themselves....
A couple of months ago, I was worried my 4-year-old had concussed himself, so I had to wake him up and ask him questions every 2 hours during the night.

This, Hillary got until 4 days after the last primary, if Bernie hasn’t essentially conceded a week from Tuesday I’ll be upset but until then he should play out the string.
Ben Franklin would be DM-ing allllll the ladies.
I think staying in for this long has probably done a lot more good for party unity than dropping out, tbqh. The fact is that Sanders’ only hope has been “flip the superdelegates” for quite some time, even if it wasn’t until more recently that it was literally mathematically impossible for him to win without them…
Your original comment summed it up perfectly for me, but I always kind of knew (in the back of my head where I could ignore it usually) it was a symbolic gesture. But I still think it was a good thing.
I don’t disagree, but I also must sympathize: if you’ve spent your entire career essentially being a full-time squeaky wheel member of the fringe (I tried to find a non-dismissive way to but this but I couldn’t! No tea tho), it has to be hard to adjust to having a plan beyond “get my ideas heard”
