THIS

I say this to my husband every winter. I don't understand how men can resist constantly pissing their own names in the snow. I'd absolutely have a penis for a day just to write my name in the snow.

Ok, “that person”

RIP Anonymous Iraqi children, women, men. I’m sorry we, as bystanders, are not able to know your names and stories. I’m thinking of yous here in the western world. I cannot imagine living in a place where this is a real, constant fear. RIP.

That’s the name of that position in the military. It’s the intermediate position between “attention” and “rest”. The kid isn’t technically at parade rest, though; if he were, his hands would be right on top of left, thumbs overlapped, in the small of his back, not clasped loosely over his butt.

If you call ahead they can usually send you through a different line, staffed with people who are better trained to screen people with medical conditions or disabilities that would make going through the normal security procedures difficult OR they can assign you a TSA handler to guide you through the process.

My favorite line (thus far— I’m still reading) from Breyer’s majority opinion: “We add that, when directly asked at oral argument whether Texas knew of a single instance in which the new requirement would have helped even one woman obtain better treatment, Texas admitted that there was no evidence in the record of…

I am fucking ECSTATIC that our elected officials are taking a stand (sit) against this bullshit. It irks the hell out of me that they need to adopt the tactics that those outside government use to urge government to action, because more than half of congress is basically a bunch of spoiled children.

Holy shit. People maybe aren’t backing down this time. I know the Senate vote got scuttled but this gives me hope that we won’t let this stand this time around.

This is amazing. I don’t recall anything like this before in my life. Might have missed something but I’m in awe.

My father’s an alcoholic, and seeing what it did to him, I vowed to never drink alcohol for fear of becoming him. But I’ve noticed that’s not a valid option when you try and tell people why you don’t drink in the first place. Which leads me to my question. Do you find that the people around you treat you differently…

I agree. I don’t even have an alcohol problem and I still find these articles so inspiring

This is really great. Happy for both the letter-writer and for Sarah H.

Thank you so much, snugbug.
