God, what a surprise that one of the biggest advocates of the charter school scam is such a terrible scumbag in other ways as well. Jesus, there are few things in politics these days that make me more enraged than the going along with running the public school system into the ground, claiming “see, they don’t work!”…

As someone who grew up in Phoenix, I'll never get over how he never was charged with taking a shower with a high-schooler.

So basically this article is about resignation. Or really, what people like to happily refer to as “acceptance”. If it doesn’t really matter, defer to your partners wishes. Over and over and over. Because how many speeds you have on the blender isn’t really important, so giving up what you think is right (basically…

It has to be an ad. But as for all of the emotional crap - is that just to make her seem more relatable to her fans? I can’t imagine droning on about my self esteem on any social media platform. It’s so self indulgent.

Another day, another reason for me to love Rihanna.

Nurses in my area make 6 figures. They're not poor, at least in my area.

Maybe, maybe not.

Yup. My parents are nurses. My aunt is a nurse. Cindymoo is going to get her masters and be a CRNA. I’ve spent a lot of time in hospitals, and very rarely have I had an issue with the nurses. When you’re crying, alone and scared at 3:00 AM and your nurse comes in and sits with you to help calm you down, you realize…

I could have told ya that (mom’s a nurse.) Those tough birds have to routinely face down screaming doctors, who have more money, more prestige, and usually more power than they do, even though they do a lot of the every day patient care (patients are also sometimes screaming.)

No hate. I’m a critical care nurse (a good one and a “good one”) and I recently spent almost two months in the hospital. There were many times when I had to be my own nurse. Once, I had my husband call a rapid response because my call light went unanswered for an hour (they kept turning it off at the station) and I…

So many nurses are saints; they literally do the heavy lifting; they catch errors in combined perscriptions; they are the ones to whom patients turn for emotional support and actual understanding of diagnoses in the face of distant/rushed doctors. And they are paid next to nothing. There are many and varied reasons…

Every nurse that I know is a) stronger than I; b) very loyal; and c) not to be fucked with.

“Who knew the nurses of America moved like the mob?”

Too bad targets of racism and rape survivors don’t have corporate sponsors. Because even a fraction of the apologist bullshit that’s been on that show this past year would have been enough to bury it for good.

That Oprah series following her around was sickening. It felt like watching A Famous Person That Will Not Eventually Die of Natural Causes.

i like to imagine oprah opening up her instagram account, seeing lindsay’s tagged her in a post, and loudly saying, “What the fuck”

She can’t even see the wagon, anymore. The wagon has already cleared the mountain pass without her.

When I managed a Borders we were also responsible for this small calendar kiosk on the other side of the shopping center. I was there covering someone’s lunch break and this crazed woman came over demanding why we had no bichon frise calendars. The dog calendar people were always the weirdest.

I was way more of a smart-ass when I worked in a bookstore, since my manager was always job hunting and couldn’t have cared less. During the height of the “Twilight” craze, right when the last book and the first movie had been released, we were sent a metric ton of merch, including those SweetHearts chalk-flavored…
