Lana- anyone-if you’re really interested in this concept of social contract and space and emergencies, read The Unthinkable by Amanda Ripley— SO SO interesting.

OH GOOD THANK GOODNESS

Like, where’s that guy GOING?

wellllp, considering your 18-yr-old work buddy is probably not looking at getting married for YEARS and is most likely not abstinent (just percentage-wise), I’d say good luck with your fertility, there, hun, for the next DECADE. Hope you’re not one of the millions whose birth control fails, cause that tends to make…

Brilliant. So much in this, where to go first? Hijacking others’ narratives speaks to me, as a writer of social justice/race topics...As a white woman who works often in a Latino community...As an immigration activist-slash-writer...

This reminds me of how FB’s escalation into EVERYBODY’S EVERYDAY happened to perfectly dovetail with the Obama 8 years . . . So not only did it happen as you’ve described, but we all ALL got to see it happen . . . And we all ALL—even the crazy @ss racists—had a platform on which to play it out.

My daughter is 16, raised with these values from day one. YOU NEEDA SLOW YOUR ROLL OR YOU’RE GONNA BURN THE F* OUT. Trust me, I got 12 years on you with this shitstorm, and you will deplete yourself into a stain on the sidewalk if you don’t pick and choose your battles.

This this this. She was a hair and a half second from LOOKING BEHIND HER AND SEEING HER ONLY CHILDS HEAD AS SOUP. I mean can you fucking imagine? Like, my stomach heaves with that scenario and it’s not even my kid. I just can’t. I hope she goes nucking futs with that in her brain her whole life.

She kinda looks like a sicko. I wanna kick her in her bumblefuck mouth.

Young kids will hurt your brain. Literally, my brain would just shut down from the boredom. An adult is not made for or meant to do some things, I’m sorry! But, we do it anyway, and safe “supports” help, yes. And if anyone judges you, just remember THEY SERVE WINE AT FUCKING PLAYGROUPS NOW and the hubbies aren’t even…

I’m going to have my 15 year old daughter watch this movie, she seems ambivalent about abortion. I want her to understand this need, especially because she’s so privileged: access to all the BC she wants, non-judgemental parents, the income/class means that she has...

“I wish I could just transfer the feelings me and my friend felt when we were young in a country were abortion is illegal to everyone in America. I wish people could understand how terrifying it is to live with no access to abortion.”

Write it and submit it. Pleasssse.

“Through good luck and having respected, important parents, she escaped the harm that evangelical churches regularly inflict on other people.” <Oh thanks for this, I couldn’t make it THROUGH.

“What’s the point of this tho?”

I dunno about a “good” story. . . little boring, sorry. I mean, tell us something we don’t know.

As my teen daughter gets older and older, yet continues to wear two different shoes out the door in the morning, or leave her glasses in the refrigerator, I think Dear Lord The Pill Is Not Gonna Work For This Girl.

Great & interesting question, FluterDale. But the cynic in me says that social media and viral-ness has so moved the line of what’s professionally acceptable that the shitty show probably has not much bearing on their career at all.

So, are we absolutely certain it wasn’t that Becca chick from The Bachelor?

ahh yes you are one of those women who don’t.freaking.age. YES WE NOTICE AND YES WE ARE JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!
