I feel like this a lot sometimes, but as cheesy as it sounds seeing how people in times of crisis act selflessly and do their best to help others gives me a little bit of hope. It also helps that I’m a teacher and I get to see the literal faces of America’s future and those kids are pretty great.

I think he sprained a scarf.

Had to google what that was and now I’m jealous.

It’s true, and sadly its not just your country. As much as everyone thinks we have it great up here in Canada, we have our problems as well. I work in a rural area, and I promise you that many people are squarely in the demographic that would vote for a shithead like Trump.

Good Grief, you are right. Good Grief!

He thinks he’s Monty fucking Hall (RIP, btw). He thinks a desperate crowd of hurricane survivors are an audience. He thinks he is the benevolent game show host, and that giving out “prizes” will win him the adoration of his loyal viewers. This is actually a horrifying tableau reminiscent of feudal times. The people of…

I’ve got no shock left for anything Trump says at this point - he was always a dim-witted narcissist and asshole who I now suspect must be suffering from some sort of serious cognitive decline - but....the government refused to lift food stamp restrictions...?

So my senator (Lisa Murkowski) voted against any possible gun control bills that have surfaced in the past few years. In the last year, she has taken approximately $4,000 from the NRA. I want to contact her and tell her that if she will rethink her stance on the gun control issues (and I mean REALLY rethink it; I’m…

The message I’ve gotten from democrats: We want people to be treated equally regardless of sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, etc., and we are not actively working to kill you. Maybe not super inspiring, but it’s a good message.

No, honey. A very tiny number of people who have a bunch of money have a bunch of Congresscritters in their pockets. It’s not about the American people at all.

Yeah, but listen, then they can crack down with impunity on anyone who doesn’t toe the line. It’s almost like it’s some sort of plan to destabilize our democracy and install a fascist state.

The cynicism in this country has turned me into a shell of my former self.

To all my normal, rational American friends, I am so sorry you are being held hostage by a bunch of gun nuts who are opposing every simple solution to a malignant problem.

because this tends to be something to come to understand, not something that just is. We are (still) indoctrinated into marriage-kids-monogamy-fairytale from a yoing age. it can take some time and experience to understand what works best for you. Honestly, 31 seems like a reasonable age to figure it out.

Me too. <3 Hugs to you, my friend.

I’m so sorry. My dad has NPD, and it’s only been recently that I’ve been able to set boundaries and accept that he’s never going to change. Your comment is dead on, and is EXACTLY why having Trump as president scares the ever living shit out of me. Trump terrifies me because he is exactly like my father, and my father…

Oh I am DEFINITELY in the occasional glass of wine camp though I still wait until after the anatomy scan.

It’s a boy!!! Name to be determined, but he is the cutest, most cuddly, most ridiculously adorable shitten in the whole world!! Newly adopted, and fully adored.

Not to be obnoxious or anything...but I’m getting married tomorrow!! Eeeeeeeeeee!

I love that pie-pie! So cute! I have been painting a lot lately but also got motivated to do some stitching. The weather is finally changing a bit here in Arizona and that usually gets me inspired. I finished the stitching but have to frame it up then I’ll put it in my Etsy shop-
