To balance out the relief of such a “win,” I always feel additional exhaustion.

To make up for my tardiness, I bring you a full meter of furry naughtiness and zoom, a.k.a. Nosey Parker, captured recently in a rare moment when she isn’t an embodiment of the doppler effect.

Came here to say specifically this. POC are not permitted to have emotions.

If you’re naked, drunk, and stoned, I’m not sure manners are at the forefront of your brain... which is, presumably, burbling nicely somewhere in the vicinity of the conflagration that once was a kitchen appliance. But I don’t drink, smoke weed, or go in for kitchen appliances, so this is all speculation on my part.…

From now on, should I ever refer to someone as “the mayor of Niceville,” you can assume it is the equivalent of “oh, bless your heart;” a deadly insult.

Dear Jared and Ivanka,

If you somehow manage to not be executed by an enthusiastic civilian after committing petty theft, I can only assume the official response is to cut off a hand. Or do they jump right to public executions? 

Ah, I remember my mom doing “72 hours on, 12 off” shifts as a resident. Fun for the whole family.

I wouldn’t have made it to the lobby. Throwing up? Throwing elbows? It’s anyone’s guess which urge would’ve won out.

Thank you. That is not the response I anticipated. Learning every day is a fine goal and one I aspire to myself. Some days go better than others.

How did The Dome end, anyway? I didn’t make it past the first commercial break on ep 1.

It’s been a while, but I don’t remember my books covering “really sad coups.” Some day, we’re going to have some seriously epic writing work to do on the new social studies books — assuming we survive, are literate, and there’s still a school system...and f*ing Texas doesn’t quash any mention of about a decade of US…

I regret only having one star to give; this made me giggle.

I’m going to guess that you identify as male. My guess is based on this: I have continually been astounded by how male acquaintances are completely unaware of just how “alert in certain situations” women already are, where “certain situations” is pretty much anything that involves walking out the door.

Is it really a coup if the leader is too stupid to notice?

That sounded delusional to me, as well. Spending every other weekend in the woods, drinking and fetishizing historically inaccurate remembrances of war or Rambo movies while wearing camo print tees doesn’t count as “training.” That someone would try to pronounce it otherwise is laughable and yet another metric of how…

I cannot imagine the pathological cruelty and callousness required to set out to purposefully do this to children, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Dead and starving children is the goal. “Well, maybe they’ll think twice about coming here!” — said some callous asshat in response to a policy designed to result in de…

Growing up poor made me socialist, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve got wacky notions about human rights, education, and equality, too. Practically makes me a devil-worshipper.

OMG!!!! “NASA is going to lie to us. But, Trump, he’ll tell us the truth!” The mind boggles! Actual science vs. the guy who’s racked up...how many known lies...wait, there are multiple news agencies keeping a tally. Google, what’s today’s number? 4,229 as of August 1, 2018, averaging 7.6 lies per day (again as of…

I had the option of just leaving a pair of NB shoes in the closet, and so I have. But if I felt the need to be rid of them entirely, I’d donate them to a charity shop. That is, ultimately, what gets me about these “protests.” They’re stupid, sure, but when so many have so very little, the fact that people feel the…
