He spread office gossip as gospel and attempted to obstruct justice.

all that sweet sweet rape money...

I would never spend that much on a belt, but I bet a lot of people wouldn’t spend what I do on (insert random crap here).

I’m not a huge spender and I wear fake diamond earrings but bags are my thing and I have a collection of designers bags (Celine, Prada, Chloe, Balenciaga Etc...). It’s not ridiculous and wasteful, it’s my personal splurge and something I love to treat myself too. But I would never ever spend $350 on a belt. In my…

Yup, and a $2500 bag?? I freely admit to buying pretty things that aren’t necessarily cheap (never have and likely never will buy the big name “designer” stuff though, it’s a scam!), but come on, I don’t care how rich you are, that’s ridiculous and wasteful.

It's incredibly frustrating to hear people argue that those receiving welfare are lazy— these women were working their asses off, working multiple jobs, juggling day care and getting their kids to services for their needs and often neglecting their own. Women who worked so hard and were offered promotions because they…

As someone who has worked with survivors of domestic violence and as someone who is below the poverty line (because I chose a career that works with survivors of domestic violence), these articles feel like such a heavy “should” that so many can't accomplish. I appreciate your acknowledgment that this is a pipe dream…

It is consistently difficult to explain how fervently I believe in this to my lovely, sentimental, romantic-at-heart boyfriend. It’s not that I don’t trust HIM, but that I need these sorts of things for my own sense of security/independence/wellbeing.

Never be entirely dependent on any one person or situation, ever.

Totally. My son had some weird formula after I stopped pumping— it was free of everything, like some sort of hypo-allergenic stuff because of his silent reflux (ask me about what a good time his first few months were!). And now there’s organic. Almond milk says right on the label not to be used as infant food or…

After 6 months you can start feeding them anything that isn’t crazy hard. There is a new theory about food for babies, which I actually really like, where you feed them chunks of actual food (so slices of avocado, or oranges with the membrane off, pieces of apple with no skin, beans, etc) rather than baby food so that…

Clearly. But what about the Almond Syndicate?

I bet he’s pretty adorable and cuddly in person, but no, he’s not like “OMG, I DIE” for me. However, I have fairly “eclectic” taste in dudes, and am currently nursing a raging LB for Adam Driver, so.

He seeps, he doesn’t cry. Like a rotten orange with mold hair.

BUT IF I DID CRY, THEY WOULD BE THE CLASSIEST, GREATEST, MOST DELICIOUS TEARS YOU WOULD EVER TASTE

Instead of weeping liquid tears, which requires replenishment of the body’s water supply, he simply lets out a constant stream of hot air and whines. It’s far more efficient.

I agree, but I also think the problem is more complex than that. Just paying for healthcare isn’t going to make people seek it if they have (often valid!) reasons to worry that doctors aren’t acting in their best interests, or if they don’t have the education to understand the basics of how medicine works and what…

part of what freaks me out about this story (and did when i was dealing with TB treatment myself) is that it’s so hard to treat active TB correctly even for a diligent person in comfortable circumstances — i had to take four medications every day for like nine months, couldn’t drink, had to go for tests all the time,…

You know, imagine if there just was some way for all people to receive proper heath care, (hint: with a single payer system).

It’s not a bad life, truth be told. I rather enjoy it.
