LOVE that the judge put in the opinion that the state’s concern trolling about women’s health was “pure gaslighting.” How wonderful. Thank you Judge Reeves for calling a spade a spade.

I heard this explained once and it’s always stuck with me. Basically, everyone kind of has an idea what it’s like to be rich, because we’ve all thought about it. All poor people are acutely aware of how many things in their lives would be easier if they had more money. They see its presence and absence all the time,…

I read a theory recently (on Jez somewhere in the comments?) that rich people have such a skewed perceptive of what money is worth that they cannot imagine having less than $10,000 in the bank or whatever because “$10,000 is nothing, it’s easy to get $10,000 with little to no effort” - that is the only reality they…

Ocasio-Cortez has $7,000 in savings...experts recommend she have between $8,750 and $30,000 put away for a crisis

You can tell how scared the establishment is of AOC by how hard they’re working to tear her down. 

This is so weird, but when I was an archaeologist in Connecticut, I found artifacts dating back about 8,000 years, which sounds older!  Almost like there were people living there before.  Strange!

Obviously the oldest town is the town of Bedrock. I mean, it’s a page right out of history.

I am one of those parents who would give anything for one more day with my kid, and I hope these parents die alone, screaming, and in agony. Fuck. Them. 

I have to admit, this article is hard for me. I was never disowned, but when I came out it was met with a solid wall of denial and was kicked out. I’m now financially independent, but I still just...don’t talk about my LGBTI identity with my parents. We operate under a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy. And it kills me.…

Her mother works in the registrar office of a college. She really shouldn’t be allowed around students if she holds these extreme views. I wonder how many gay kids she made so unwelcome  that they decided not to enroll? Or were shamed into staying closeted at school? 

No,no. You are falling into the sunk cost fallacy trap. You can definitely disown your child as soon as they turn out to be an abomination to prevent further losses.

There is a group I heard about in the Unerased podcast called the Mama Bears. They are Christian moms who support lgbt kids (usually bc their own have come out and they had a change of heart). They even walked a woman down the aisle after her parents disowned her. 

Weird how bigot shitheads seem most concerned about being outed as the shitheads that they are. 

As far as I'm concerned, you didn't throw enough fucks out to her family and the rest of the numerous assholes who made her road rockier. This poor kid.

Oh her parents are worse. After they learned of the go fund me page they reached out for reconciliation and therapy. Guess they got scared of being outed as evil bigots and tried to make nice.

Happy to coparent with you. 

The parents are probably the ones who alerted the NCAA.

We do such a great job with our kids, eh? Her parents disown her. The school that’s supposed to be leading her through the last stage of becoming an adult tries to fuck her over. And the only organization that could theoretically protect her from the asshole Jesus freak fuckwads at the school sees what’s going on and…

Line to take this girl in, adopt her, feed her, and go to her cross-country meets (runs? competitions?) forms next to me.  

Same!!!! It’s so exciting and so needed and I couldn’t be more proud of them for kicking ass!
