Wait I’m confused. I read this as Means (the victim) was the one that crossed the street toward Pulliam (the shooter). I’m also reading this as BOTH men were armed and acting aggressive.

This is fucking tragic and Pulliam is clearly a POS so please don’t read this as me excusing shooting ANYBODY but let’s at least get…

I’m sorry <3 My mom has Alzheimer’s too. Early stages so she’s functional for the most part still, but my grandmother had it as well so I know what’s coming.

She already cannot remember what state I live in no matter how many times I tell her. Her kitchen is a Memento-esque array of Post-It note reminders that she…

We will gladly trade you in for the almost half of New Hampshire that voted for Trump and the 52% of Maine that voted against universal background checks for firearms (really, Maine?!)

Thank you so much for this. Sorry I didn’t reply sooner! I don’t have Twitter but if it gets bad enough you’ll be the first to know. The chances of me getting a Twitter account are much greater than me ever going back to Facebook, anyway :)

Fair warning though: I’m a Red Sox fan

I feel you. I thought my life was over at 30. I’ve done A LOT of shit since then though (I’m 38 now). At 36 I traveled 22,000+ miles of North America on a motorcycle in 4 months. All the way up to the Arctic Ocean in Alaska. I’d never even ridden a motorcycle until I was 35. It’s probably the best thing I’ve ever done…

It’s more like “TODAY I WILL SHOWER! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!” but yeah. Thank you <3

You are definitely not alone in this. I’ve been unemployed since last December and even then I was making less than a quarter of what I was making in 2010. I made near 6 figures back then. Now I’m on SNAP (until January) and Medicaid and despite crippling and debilitating depression (Medicaid currently pays for my…

I deleted my Facebook back in August of 2015. I couldn’t even, even then.

Guh. Joanna is so fantastically adorable I can’t stand it.

Honestly? I think he’s the type that just assumes everyone (read: white people) thinks the same way he does. I fear that my lack of pushing back is just a sign of encouragement though and that makes me feel terrible. It feels like I’m cosigning his bullshit. But you’re right - I’ll try and think of it as…

I ended up finishing it last night anyway before I got your reply. “Meh.” was exactly my official review upon completion. Pretty disappointing. Though I’m also rather psyched to see her cast in B&TB so I’m gonna go ahead and say your taste in movies is pretty sound.

I only made it 9 minutes into Colonia. Is it worth giving another shot?

If a braid crown were horns.

It’s slightly better, thanks for asking! I’ve been away from the house working for friends of theirs/less exposed to blatant racism so that’s been good. Though they took me out to (a fancy) dinner two nights ago (they’ve never done this before) and I felt oh so awkward. I was all “No really, that’s TOOOOTALLY not…

Listened to this on NPR today. Man I’m gonna miss such thoughtful, articulate, and genuine answers to questions from the press. The contrast to this conference versus Trump’s 60 minutes interview last night was like listening to, well, a President Obama vs. a drunk sixth grader giving a book report on the summer…

you two sound like a fun couple! :D

Is it safe to assume your friend’s boyfriend also thinks of ~himself~ as a good person? How’s her appealing to him with logic and reason going?

I’ve lived in Connecticut, Massachusetts (favorite), New Jersey, and now New Hampshire. Between NJ & NH was Arizona. It’s.... okay I guess. It is definitely not the Northeast. Upon coming back I could literally SMELL the green. Don’t get me wrong, AZ is absolutely beautiful. Knockout gorgeous. But the culture is just…

And yet I’m somehow single. huh.
