Agreed; I didn’t have a ton of money when I had my kid, but I had a plan, and a ton of energy, love, support, and determination. Those things will get you pretty far as long as you’re relatively balanced.

Yeah, if pussy- grabbing is okay for the President, I can’t imagine what they’d need to dig up on Flynn to disqualify him from the job, seeing as sharing intelligence with Pakistan clearly isn’t a bar.

Yeah, but what about the rest of us?

There was a woman dressed up as a Mary Poppins- style suffragette at my polling station this morning, complete with a big, silly hat, holding her daughters’ hands in line to vote. Oh, my stupid, sentimental heart.

I’m not the original person making the critique, but what I’m reading there (and mutually feeling) is that this is already ugly & painful enough without somebody popping in and saying, “Oh, hey, are we all talking about blackface? I’ve got stories about BLACKFACE!” Rounding it out with pictures is a particularly nasty…

Yeah, PTSD is weird and super- specific to each person and their trauma. The mechanics of the illness are pretty much the same, but the things that trigger each patient are completely different. PTSD here too, and I love horror movies but to hell with gore porn/ war movies/ slashers for me—— I can take it in real life…

You have no idea how badly I want that to be true, I honestly do. He got into that leadership position somehow, though. That needs deep and systematic addressing.

Shit, Jack Chick just passed this week, too. Timely.

Awww, I want to hear more stories like these. We have a 13 year old rottie mix and we worry a lot about her, these stories give me hope.

Blowtorching my neighbors’ Trump/ Pence sign or stealing thirteen Trump signs (especially the one that was 10- 15 feet up in a tree) all seem like the sort of things that are super fun to talk about with my partner when I’m really frustrated with the election, because we are all not- so- secretly still 12 inside, feel…

I doubt keeping it fresh is a high priority when you’re struggling to survive in fucking Peshawar.

Or spotlight. That’s pretty intoxicating, too. :(

Editor here; love you for this post.

That’s not even half relevance.

As long as he keeps feeding her bits and pieces of approval, though, she will almost certainly stay enmeshed to some degree. She works really hard and he does feed into that, playing up what a savvy businessperson she is- you know, just an ultra- fuckable one that he, of course, made. Her entire life and family are…

Did Trump just say “nothing but money”

Muslims are responsible for solving islamaphobia? Did Trump just say that?
