I got the same horrible feeling. Valdovinos was just a drop in his ocean of victims. I’m sure cats don’t remember all their mice either. 

I once had a student get very mad at me because I wouldn’t let him write a stakeholder research paper on why abortion should be illegal. To be clear, the stakeholder paper requires the writer to be tangibly affected in a real, demonstrable way by whatever issue is at stake in the paper. I’ve had students write great…

This is their defense:

Then, she added: “I’ve never seen people so happy to destroy a kid’s life.”

My long term plan is to get them all, hook them up, wall mount them, and back light them

Yeah, the proper way is to not have a party, but just have the invites say either “naming” or “bris” and let the guests do the math. That’s also how I plan to announce/acknowledge that I’m having a kid.

Absolutely! Children are just children, especially tiny babies! The aggressive cis-hetero-patriarchal gender-segregation is honestly so dystopian. “Aren’t you going to colour-code your baby based on its genitals, so strangers can make weird assumptions about its personality and preferences?”

I think we’ll find out the…

You know, after looking through the site, I’m really, really sad that all of those Resident Evil themed Dreamcasts were Japan only. Even if I found one now, it won’t play my collection of NTSC games.

the media has tripped over itself to prove they were not unfairly targeting the teens for their political beliefs.

I wonder about the numbers on some of the Dreamcast editions.  I have the Pearl Pink and Blue + the Metallic Silver - they weren’t THAT hard to find nor that expensive (Seaman Xmas is way harder to find).

I love console variants, especially the really bizarre stuff, like the crazy car Saturn. Too bad most of the cooler variations tend to come out so deep in the life cycle I’ve already picked up a “normal” one by then. 

Guns AND Glitter!

I want a gender reveal party with a cake. When they cut into the cake it’ll be ink black and I’ll say “Oh yay!” and then we’ll eat the cake.

That, and there’s this kind of fairytale thing that goes along with twins where people see the cuteness of having two little people at once but ignore the extra work that comes along with that. I had one woman out of nowhere come up and bark in my face “Don’t you dare call them double trouble!!” I know all mums get…

My girls (both sets turned out to be female) don’t look anything alike, and the oldest setin particular don’t even really look like they’re related, so they get “OMG you’re *twins*? Since when??” Last year they both had the same maths teacher (different classes though) and it took him almost all year to realise they…

When I get pregnant, I want to throw a gender reveal party just to reveal that all of the cupcakes say, “Who cares? Gender is a social construct!”

Lol, I knew a guy (aka partner of a friend on facebook I haven’t spoken to in a decade and never really knew) who, just before opening a box with blue or pink balloons inside to reveal the gender, and who clearly wanted a boy, shouted “blue balls!” ‘cause he’s a mature adult. His girlfriend gave him so much side eye.

Th…

I’ve seen them with cakes that say shit like “Guns or Glitter?” and ”Cowboy or Ballerina?”

Lasagna is one of my favorite foods,. but I can’t with this. It looks so unappetizing. But then I also wouldn’t touch novelty colored ketchups as a kid either. Also, I have my doubts that it’s good lasagna. The fact that it seems to be devoid of  a tomato based sauce makes it extra suspect.  Did they use alfredo…
