As a seven year old, I raided the kitchen for my art supplies. I took some herbs, green food coloring, lemon juice, and turmeric powder to create this. My dad was so angry at me for destroying the kitchen and geting half the spice cabinet all over the floor, but he took this, and he framed it because he thought it was…

You are going to LOVE tomorrow's noon post ;)

I'm sure you have enough muscle from patting yourself on the back. No one is judging committed atheletes, but not everyone has the time or will to be one.

No, I get the same sadness! Because there's just no EXCUSE for young women to be on the wrong side of history like that. After all the work their grandmothers, aunts & mothers in the previous waves of feminism did to get them the rights they have now— it makes no rational sense for them to advocate for women having…

Honestly my first thought was that some of these young women would be doing a nasty little double take in later life, when the realised they'd either stood in support of boycotting services they needed, or had a rude awakening as to how permanent, expensive and time consuming young parenthood could be.

Some women, who haven't personally experienced reproductive hardship, have trouble seeing past their own privilege.

The younger they are, the easier to brainwash...

I agree. I also can't wrap my head around any young woman (or even any women) being Republican. They cannot make it any clearer they are against women, their choices and their rights.

My middle daughter has recently been diagnosed with extreme depression and anxiety. She has started hurting herself. She has a few close friends but absolutely hates her new school. She had her first therapy appointment recently, but I'm almost afraid to take her because I know it will take a lot of time for her to…

Probably, but at least I don't breed creatures into a shit life and make other beings suffer due to my choices.

That year, my husband couldn't fly out and attend my stepson's graduation, because we had to move instead. We couldn't afford for him to go, or to send him any decent graduation gift.

I understand that too. But I see it like this:
Buy a single car and treat it nice, rebuild it, etc. (having 1-3 kids, managable size)
or
Buy a dozen junk cars and have them rotting in your front lawn. (having half a dozen kids)
or
a third option analogous with not having kids at all but doesn't sound creepy like "ride…

A year and a half later, we were told he would be laid off in two months. I was seven months pregnant. Our insurance would end two weeks before the baby was due.

Continuing to pop out kids while in such a volatile industry/situation seems like a terrible idea as well. You know things could go south at any time and can barely afford to raise the kids you already have yet you continue to have more? Just putting more and more people through the wringer of moving constantly with…

Every time we accepted a job offer, we were offered promises of stability and plenty of funding. We were told about the "project after this one," and no offer was given as temporary, or "for this project only." Instead of companies asking us if we'd stay for the long haul, we began asking them instead.

If there ever was a time to just brush something under the rug... baseball in the inner city was capital DEAD 10 or 15 years ago. These kids did more for baseball than anything short of normalizing relations with Cuba in the past year. These kids reconnected the sport to places where ballfields were dried up and…

Not to mention in Florida, Rick Scott co-founded one of the companies used to do the drug testing. He divested himself when he was elected... by putting the shares in a trust in his wife's name. So, no conflict of interest there, obviously. In this case, at least, it's not only because he hates poor people.

Along the lines of recognizing actors outside of their films, my favorite comeback to strangers who use the "I know you from somewhere" line is almost always "Oh, so you watch a lot of porn?" and left the unsaid idea hang in the air. Usually I get and embarrassed, "NO!" or "Um, what?!" It stops them in their tracks.

You mean even women who are very accomplished are judged more on their looks than on their accomplishments?
