I’m HOH, so much that living in the hearing world is so difficult sometimes that I don’t want to get out of bed. I was mainstreamed to read lips only. No sign. Thanks parents and teachers! I was raised to please your hearing world. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my eyes right now reading some of the…

I don’t think hiring scabs is the answer to getting more POC and women in jobs. Unions are the only bargaining power we have. Undercutting them is a race to the bottom.

You know why my daughter gets amazing grades? I only dress her in neutral colors. If she would go full grayscale, she could be valedictorian but I pick my battles.

I work in a museum that has a large clothing collection and you can definitely see a difference in skill level in the clothing. With the wealthy, you have these beautiful garments made by professional seamstresses. For the middle class, you have home-made garments, some put together well, and others clumsily…

Well, if this is your main takeaway from this story, yeah, she might be speaking about you.

Also, wouldn’t it be normal to at least try and learn your partner’s language? Especially when it’s Spanish, which is so widely spread across the globe. Like, you learn fucking Spanish, you asshole (he’s such an asshole).

I’mma go out on a limb here and interpret the “classless” as a dig at the Spanish language, which is considered by many prejudiced white people as ugly-sounding and inferior to English, as a metaphor that is an extension of what Hispanics are considered to be. He seems to be kind of asshole who would have that stance,…

Why the fuck would you marry someone who speaks another native language, and then expect them to never speak it again? That computes...how?

Clearly you haven’t lived.

Same... I also wish he’d just married Camilla to begin with. But I imagine the pressure exerted by the monarchy (and the public) is probably extraordinary. Diana fell victim to the same pressure. She didn’t love Charles either and she knew he was in love with CPB, yet she went through with the marriage. It was a…

Misandry! I really don’t understand how they can justify this before every man in Britain has his own statue!

Whenever there is some creep on tv getting arrested and they have a gf or wife it makes me yell “COME ON” in my head, that they can find someone but I can’t.

The guy could be just unlucky in love. It is possible for a man to have a whole host of positive attributes, but he just can’t put it all together at the right moment. I am handsome, charismatic, and I have a decent job, but conveying those things to women can be pretty daunting. So I am chronically single.

RAGE when they say “What? You won’t like anything with a protagonist that doesn’t look like you? That sounds like your problem! Lawl!” Because they always throw the biggest bitch fit when the protagonist is not a gruff white dude.

And as a single-by-choice 42yo, now I know what everyone is saying behind my back.

I don’t know that I’d call it weird or gross, but I think it says something that a 20-30 year difference with an older man and a younger woman is very common, while the reverse is rare— and that we as society don’t blink at the former but treat the latter as scandalous if not outright disgusting.

Fact: I once had a customer whose name was, no shit, was ‘Tequila Sunrise’. At least we know how she was conceived.

seems like you could have just named her Elizabeth and called her Betsy.

A child in my class had her own surname. Her name was Heaven Earth. We cracked a lot of jokes about what her middle name could be. Heaven Anne Earth. Heaven Helen Earth. Turns out we weren’t far off. Her full name was Heaven N’ Earth. Mom named the next baby Seven. No idea what surname he got.

There go my dreams of naming my firstborn “Dreamslayer Bonerhitler”. What’s great about this name is that it’s unisex.
