AND he voices Darth Vader in the Bad Lip Reading Star Wars vids. He kills it.

Huh. It seems that you didn’t understand what I wrote. I was, during my teaching career, compassionate and approachable and personable. I mentored many students. I helped many, many kids learn to appreciate and develop their talents and abilities, as well as to acquire the necessary (and far more than) knowledge. My…

This! I taught for 13 years and it was so clear that the female teachers we rated more on our empathy and mom-ness and the male teachers were rated more on charisma. Classroom discipline was almost never an issue for the guys, which left them so much more room to teach (were they inclined to do so). And lemme tell…

So, Texas, weed isn’t a narcotic. Also, carrots? Those are oddly orange-y dildos, not carrots.

I hope Obergefell never needs to dirty the hems of his pants by brushing up against her. He shouldn’t have to breath the same air as that hateful, self-aggrandizing twat.

That’s more or less the same way I dance to this song when I’m working alone. Minus the high kicks. I don’t really have high kicks in me.

And isn’t it grand that she hasn’t plastic surgified it?

Wtf does this even MEAN?

Don’t be sorry. And you and I view it differently. Don’t tell me my view of it is bullshit. Now do I think yours it, although I disagree with it. Also, what is rape but sexualized violence? And I still think that it makes the horror incredibly vivid.

Did anyone find that rape scene sexy? Did anyone feel that the rapist was anything but monstrous? Did anyone feel that the movie failed to show anything but sympathy for Jamie? I’d say no to all of those. No glorification and a genuine portrayal of the horror and lingering pain.

Dewey is also here to provide a adorableness break from alla the fuckery.

Yes. There’s that steely Disappointment. I’d quiver before it.

Brilliant legal arcana! And so absurd.

Dang, CA. Thanks for soliciting and posting these. I didn’t know you had it in you and I’m tickled you do. Happy Monday and may you have a joyful week.

An anti-semitic wolf whistle from a racist, misogynistic douchebag? Nah. Couldn’t be.

So, did you know that the Seattle Aquarium has an asthmatic otter that they’ve taught to use an inhaler? True. During the forest fires this summer, her asthma flared up, poor thing, so they had to figure out how to help her.

The outrage and censoriousness here make me scratch my head. We live in a country in which sooo many people constantly try to undermine and erode women’s rights to reproductive health and care. It’s harder and harder to obtain an abortion if you aren’t wealthy, we don’t regard birth control as a right, and many folks…

Sometimes you think you’ve got the damn thing (depression) routed and it comes sneaking up from behind. Last time that happened to me I threw everything I could think of at it. Therapy (which didn’t do a thing), Wellbutrin (a godsend for me), and reading (The Noonday Demon, by Andrew Solomon is an incredible personal…

For those of us who tend towards depression, the hormonal changes that happen with and after pregnancy can completely do a whammy on us. I’ve been on anti-depressents since I was pregnant with my first over 13 years ago. There have been times when I’ve thought that it’s silly to stay on ‘em that long, even at my low…

And please, don’t forget, Paul Ryan at his best:
