Add in those who’ve lost people to suicide. After losing several of my fellow veteran/ war friends to suicide, I keep finding myself drawn to suicide blogs in a horrible effort to understand what my friends went through before they died. I don’t watch videos, but I do read articles like these, and I guess if I valued…

What’s the relevance? Why would it matter if she had a mental illness? She should still have had easy, clear, and safe access to abortion services. (Falling doesn’t equal an instant miscarriage, contrary to popular belief. Pregnancy makes plenty of people quite clumsy, and falls bad enough to induce a miscarriage can…

It’s sort of sad, isn’t it? Really small and petty. All Trump’s money and power and still, here he is in Russia, taking the time to pay some strangers money to piss on a bed because another man slept there. A person has to be some special kind of insecure to set up and then act out that sort of elaborate, very private…

I grew up in New England, moved to the South. In New England, white people “believe” racism is considered low class and impolite and they’ll hide it, but behind folks’ backs, they say (and do) the most unbelievable things. In the South and Midwest, it’s casual but up-front. At least in the South, sometimes you know…

Bullshit. Everybody knows you meet the Weed Guy at the fancy/ weirdly clean McDonalds in the suburbs.

Don’t bother with this one. Deep down, the folks spouting things like this ascribe to the belief that if rapists were getting more sex, or the sort of sex they wanted, or if these poor, misguided rapists only knew how to ask for what they wanted, how to find the kind of sex they wanted, or maybe if we had sex robots,…

“A couple of my very best guy friends, the guys I respect and love just as much as anyone, are still kind of romantically tortured because their first love didn’t work out. Like from 15 years ago! I think without knowing it, they are so hurt because they felt they deserved those women.”

My vote is for the child-kitten hybrid, at least that shit will be cute.

I grew up in New England seeing the Confederate flag on back country roads. It’s all over New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Southern Connecticut and in Massachusetts, too. I don’t know where people got the impression that white folks are less racist up north, but that’s not true. They just don’t talk about it; they…

The first thing my partner said to me was that Bannon looks like Healy’s alcoholic cousin.

Can I be a different kind of asshole for slightly less money? I want in on this. I’ll stop using my turn signals for $15k.

People are really ignorant about this difference, actually. I worked at a place that required background checks; info given during that process was also given in “strict confidence”, but potential hires would admit to felonies in interviews thinking as long as they disclosed things would be cool. A+ for honesty, I…

I’m pretty certain there was an expulsion process. $65k tuition doesn’t seem like they wouldn’t have bases covered. It was likely detailed in the admissions packet, like pretty every other school does; private, public, parochial. My guess is the parents didn’t like it and were looking for loopholes.

I got drunk for the first time at church camp. It was actually band camp where all the wholesome stuff happened, according to my friends.

We were readers of the comic and so stuck with TWD longer than I really wanted, but this season it just sits on the DVR for days and days. It’s as if we need to steel ourselves to watch each episode.

There are enough websites that endorse this viewpoint, sadly, that you might be able to convince them. (I’m a MMJ patient and huge advocate, but false and exaggerated claims make the whole thing look bogus.)

I’d try spaces more invested in heavy feminism and social justice issues (Jez is more pop culture with a feminist slant and frequently passes on issues that don’t deal with white feminism or issues popular with white feminists). Bitch, Bust, and Autostraddle might be awesome alternatives for that kind of tip in the…

Are you sure? In those overalls?

Mine too: cooking, 9os hip-hop, weed, crafts. It was a letdown, man. Martha jokes about not letting the “ghetto” beat her, and there’s more not- so- subtle racism throughout the whole first episode. It sucked. I could have gotten into basically my three favorite things- music, food, and maybe crafty shit- all in one…

“Delightful premiere,” really? I watched it out of pure whimsy and found it cringey and worse, occasionally racist as fuck. Hate that it is already going into a second season.
