Once Americans decided that the slaughter of children was less important than an amendment made before semi automatic weapons were even conceived, and consciously voted for (or chose not to vote against) lawmakers that held with the idea I honestly gave up hope.

I get it, Matthew Mills. I too cannot believe that it ever happened. I can’t believe that someone killed twenty first graders and 6 school employees. I get that it’s impossible to accept that all that happened and still not a single thing has changed in our gun laws. I further can’t believe that the gun lobby and…

It’s real and it’s awful.

It is here in East TN, but 99% of the time it looks like they primed it and then gave up.

I kind of like seeing someone commit to something that much. Good luck, Santa!

Tinseled Mafioso, new band name, I call it

NO NO MINE ARENT

I really appreciate this, and she’s right. Happiness and peace is possible, post-eating disorder. After over a decade of self-inflicted emotional and physical torture, I entered ED rehab. I worked hard at it, and I came out on the other side with a new appreciation for my body and new perspective on life. I still have…

I worked for the main newspaper in Rhode Island when we had a terrible nightclub fire that killed 100 people. It was absolutely horrifying and because RI is so small and close-knit, almost everyone knew someone. The guy who did the obits had to do the one for his best friend (of 30 years) and couldn’t work for six…

You could also just ask them to pay for one or two items on your list of Things! Like, The Bar or The Bar and The Music. Then it’s a fixed number and it ends once the contract is signed, and if you pick these vendors but have them deal with the contracts etc, you don’t even have to know what they spent. Just an idea!…

Years from now people will earn their phd's writing dissertations on America and its mentality with mass shootings, pages will be devoted to these kinds of reactions and our weary acceptance.

It’s sad that the frequency of mass shootings has created this tradition among hospitals. No one is criticing the solidarity or camaraderie.

Yesterday’s tragedy was in my hometown. Suffice it to say that my level of rage that gun violence occurs so frequently, and is so seemingly acceptable to a large proportion of the U.S. population, is palpable today.

“traditional wooden long-tail boats”

“Michelle and Ryan’s nups, which took place on a remote island in Thailand that could only be accessed by “traditional wooden long-tail boats,” had everything: escort cards calligraphed atop “foraged river rocks,” hand-dyed silk flags for no reason, food poisoning, bridesmaids that knew how to sing, and macaque…

On Sex & the City, when Samantha made a scene over her stolen bag, Hefner nodded to security in a subtle way and these two big guys came and escorted the ladies out. So she probably meant Kylie gave her the finger and she nodded to someone and had them thrown out. ‘cause reality is the same as Sex & the City.

From what I understand, there was a risk if we did not approve the deal of a push at the UN for sanctions against the United States.

What I continue to find lacking in the coverage of this is the fact that the “deal” is not just between Iran and the United States. This is a multi-national agreement that has already been approved by the UN Security Council and the other nations participating. Congressional “approval” is mostly pro-forma and not the…

Fuck yeah!

Look, let’s face it. Men are far too emotional to be trusted with the power of governing things.
