I finally gave in and watched the video for “thank you, next,” just to see all the pop culture references. This was also the first time I heard the song, and I just found it so incredibly blah. I kept waiting for it to kick in in some way but the whole thing felt like a terribly slow intro or something.

The Trump administration has defunded research for an AIDS cure.

French people and their pretentious French names, how dare they!

this the only president i like nowadays

I woke up to a pleasant surprise early this week, that I’ve been waiting to share; I believe I am out of the greys! Thank you to whoever it is at Jezebel who had the faith in me to do this, I promise I'll repay it with quality posts and be as positive member of the community as I am able.

Don’t - she has brought this catastrophe on the nation whilst being insulated by her husband’s millions. She cuddled up to the fundamentalist bigots in the DUP, insulted the millions who voted ‘remain’ by calling them ‘citizens of nowhere’ and steadfastly ignored all the evidence that any form of Brexit was going to…

The BBC is reporting that the Trump administration is actively working with hardline Conservative MPs who aim to defeat Theresa May’s proposed Brexit agreement when it is brought before the Commons.

I am not a fan.

Its 2018, i may be pregnant. If i am its great, but after two miscarriages the stress and hope is sucking a lot if the joy out. 

Thanksgiving has always been the best holiday for me, Mom and Dad. Even though it was just the three of us, Mom would insist on making a 23-25 lb turkey (they REALLY like leftovers).

I was...12, I think? And I had found, in some magazine or another, a little blurb about a “romantic phone line”. It was a prerecorded message that was basically 90 seconds of a guy with a sexy voice talking about how you were the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen, how he longed to take you in his arms and “make you…

My sister was also glutened at Thanksgiving by a well meaning aunt, who had kindly gone out of her way to make the gravy with rice flour. After eating turkey, potatoes and gravy, my sister was ill, so my aunt went to show her the flour she had used...turns out it was rye flour, not rice flour. She felt terrible, and…

One Thanksgiving, I’ll guess I was about ten maybe, my grandfather left the living room to use the bathroom. It was the half bath in the hallway between the kitchen and the front door. Me, my sister, and my cousin were in the kitchen looking toward the hallway when my grandfather collapsed, with a loud bang. I can…

You got banned even though they made you sick? That really sucks. Sorry. 

My first gluten free Thanksgiving was like that. I was forced to eat some of the broccoli rice casserole, despite never liking broccoli rice casserole or eating it before because my mom made it gluten free. As soon as I swallowed my two bites, she was suddenly unsure if cheese whiz was gluten free. (The answer is…

Okay, this is going to be wordy so settle in.

Yep. Food allergies suck. My daughter has multiple food allergies and she got sick at daycare. They denied feeding her anything wrong. Just fruit and yogurt which they were surprised to learn that yogurt was made from milk.

two thanksgivings ago was the first time i had been with my family in ten years. i have a lot of food allergies and i gave my cousin a list and asked if she wanted help cooking (i had been laid off and had shit tons of time) but she refused. she made a big production of showing me everything i could eat, how she had…

Say hey kittens! For the first time in my life I am not spending Thanksgiving with my family of terrible swfil narcissists and enablers! I’m going to Disney with friends, staying on a concierge floor at a really good place, and I’m so excited! Tomorrow I have to tell said awful relatives. By phone, because I’m serving…

Bitter AF. I’m a lifelong Georgia girl and I’m bummed. My little kids are bummed. My oldest is going through a gun-loving republican phase, so he’s happy, but he’s also 14 and dumb, so fuck his stupid opinions.
