So, because she’s a victim of the patriarchal culture we all grew up in too, she doesn’t get to speak?

Except...she doesn’t show her flaws, nor does she accept herself the way she is, and neither does her husband.

If I didn’t know my mother’s Korean name, I would have sworn this was her. My life as a child was quite similar to the two children saved here, only when someone actually tried to intervene, they were shot down and my mother was allowed to continue her reign of abuse.

I hope that these children get a lot of…

I hate the term “comfort women” for the simple fact that many of the victims weren’t “women”, my mother’s younger sister included. She and their aunt were taken while walking along the stream near my grandparents’ farm. The aunt never returned, and my mother’s sister didn’t reunite with the family for more than two…

My 10 year reunion took place in a nightclub...where only the kids from one particular clique were invited. They had used the monies collected during high school to rent out the VIP room just for them, and hired a DJ just for them, with catering and everything.

They thought they wouldn’t be found out except that some…

I’ve officially reached my maximum level of Internet today...and it's only 6am.

Why are people freaking the eff out over 15-16-year-old girls having sex? Why the hell do you think grandma and grandpa celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and grandma’s 75th birthday on the same day? Magic?

I was an awkward looking child. I mean rail thin, distended belly, gigantic forehead, buck teeth, and ill-placed birthmark awkward. My hair was dull brown and stringy, I wore glasses that looked like repurposed windshields held together with the duct-taped arm of a Barbie Doll, and I wore boy clothes that were two…

Luke 10:25-37

When I was in the foster care system, many “crack babies” and children born to drug-addicted and (at the time) incarcerated mothers came through my foster home. There was also a foster family friend whose grandson was born to parents whom were both incarcerated for drug possession and distribution. He spent his first…

He’s right. Amateur neurosurgeon Jeffrey Dahmer never left a sponge in his patients’ skull. Professional neurosurgeon Ben Carson, however, did.

Oh, wait...

By his own admission...

If I use my Jack Black lip balm, I’m good. I don’t feel crazy or in need of help. If I use my pumpkin pie chapstick...strap me down because omg, help me!

You want inexpensive but GREAT makeup? Check out Colourpop or MakeupGeek. I’m a bitch on a budget most times so if I can find things that work, that work well, and that last for half the price of other products then I’m hoarding that stuff until death.

I have several favorites, and can do most of my makeup with just three (plus my beauty blender). I wash them with baby shampoo every other week, since I don’t really do my makeup much as I work from home, with the exception of my beauty blender, which gets washed with Purity from Philosophy because only that soap…

I’ve been there. Toddler, newborn, toddler, newborn... sleep deprivation is always the biggest culprit, and there were moments when I knew that if my husband touched me, I’d kill him dead and sprinkle his ashes on the beach. But we found ways to make it work; he watched the kids so I could nap; we took the billion…

Actually, been married for almost 20 years with four kids to show for it. ;)

That’s nice, except one, sodomy isn’t illegal thanks to SCOTUS’ ruling on Lawrence v. Texas, and two, most heterosexual couples engage in sodomy every day since sodomy consists of any sexual act that does not involve a penis penetrating a vagina, (i.e. oral sex, anal sex, mutual masturbation...)

He also said something to the effect of how people in government have less sense than a dog, thereby implying that his wife, a member of the government, is dumber than a headless chihuahua.

On that point, I totally agree with him.
