yes. yes.

‘Yeah, just don’t change anything’ said no victim of racism ever.

“I am a conservative, I like to keep what we have.”
Like slaves and racism.

If you like small people, this is my 1-year-old watching the river otters at our local science museum. If you’re not into kids/not into redheads, know that the otter startled her and she started crying right after this. Otter beats baby. Again.

Non-celebrity and non-religious. Most of the “good news” sites and lists are of the “ain’t God grand?!” variety. No offense intended, but I’d like to read about good things that *people* do for each other.

Is anyone else tired of being a member of the female sex? Anyone else tired and depressed and disgusted by these continuous and never-ending stories of men doing inexplicable things to girls/women simply because they can? Is it affecting you to the point that you can't interact with people anymore? Because I am about…

I know, this stuff deserves to be news too. We need it. Also there should be like business hours for heavy crap. I’ve read some pretty grim shit on here at like 8 am and I was “whoa, NOT a good way to kick things off”.

So, my mom gave up, all those court dates taking its toll on her, and just busted her ass working 1, 2, or 3 jobs at the same time sometimes to take care of four kids. Now, she’s got Social Security and a pension.…

Seriously. There are no words for how disgusting and inexcusable that is.
