I grew up in a church that was very focused on serving the community* but I have never, ever realized that this kind of need existed. When I think of all the food drives, toy drives, and time spent sorting and serving at outreach programs it actually infuriates me that this was never mentioned. The thought just breaks…

Thank you so, so much for sharing your experience and your advice, and I'm glad that you no longer have to go through that.

um dinosaurs are very real fuck her right in the ear

My cousin believes that the earth is 6000 years old and that dinosaur fossils were put here by God to test our faith. Because the Bible cannot be wrong about how old the earth is or something I don't understand because it makes my head hurt.

You are a kind person. Thank you.

Forever grey, hope y'all will see this: Having been homeless, please let me attest to how very shitty it is to have your period and no supplies. Homeless teens have it even worse, because usually going to a shelter means someone calling CPS. For the first month, I had supplies I'd taken from home. The second month, I…

I feel like these people were incredibly idiotic and insensitive because one thing that homelessness takes away is dignity in keeping your person clean. That guy on Instagram who gives people haircuts every weekend on the street in NYC really drives it in that many homeless people have no choice in their appearance…

Food banks are another location that can distribute feminine products! We always try to include some feminine products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc when we donate. Food assistance programs vary by type and location, but in a lot of places you can't use those funds for anything that's not actual food,…

I suggest the kid go after a new market with a sequel to his book, "Maybe Allah Ain't So Bad After All".

Dangit, someday I'm going to get out of the grays. Maybe I need to post more clever animated gifs.

I try to make a monthly run to the dollar store and stock up on tampons, pads, shampoo, razors- all the basic cleanliness supplies. and then I take about 30-40 worth of that stuff to the local homeless resource shelter. Join me, people! It boosts your spirit and if a broke ass person like myself can put that money…

So this is funny. Every year my husband, who is a Dj, hosts and DJ's a food drive for our local women's shelter. Two or so years ago we were going to focus on women's hygiene products (tampons, pads, deodorant) and made a flyer that we caught flack for from a few women (via Facebook, of course) saying that doing a…

Well, of course. If I go out in a blaze of glory, I want it to be as literal as possible. Fuck subtlety.

Isn't reading Chicken Soup for the Soul the adult equivalent of reading Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul?

I love this so much. That kid deserves a ton of credit for coming forward.

"ALSO, THE KID'S NAME IS LITERALLY MALARKEY"

No one thought to check his facts? His name is basically Alex Liar Liar Pants on Fire....

Wait, let me get this straight. Do you mean to tell me that people actually intentionally deceived other human beings with a theological pretense for personal financial gain? I'm not buying it Kelly that just seems ridiculous.

The Bible is the only source of truth. Anything written by man cannot be infallible.

17 and still paralyzed - therefore, still a minor and reliant upon his parents - and says it was a lie. You know what, kid? You're good in my books because that takes a lot of guts.
