Doing God’s work you are.

It’s how I maintain my sanity these days.

One vote for #OrangeIsTheNewRed

You know how utterly tiring this ghastly election has been? And you know that assuming Clinton wins (& by damn she better win or we’re all screwed), the press and the repubs will be like honey badgers trying to tear her apart for the entirety of her presidency. And I really don’t get it. The repubs are so far out of

I never saw him as a Russian plant. But what I did see is this:
1. Since the late 1990's, he has been blacklisted from American financing of his projects. Multiple bankruptcies catch up to the best of us.

Whorehouse on a hill. One guy going up the hill, one guy going down the hill, one guy inside.

You’re not american are you? The threshold for damage to trump is so high that nothing he does matter. His supporters are full on cult mode and can turn away any incriminating evidence. Even if there was a check signed by Putin, and in the Memo line said “control of america” they would simply say it was fake, a

I can’t even handle the “living with the boyfriend” thing. ;) I SERIOUSLY need my solitude.

It’s just for trading Weiner dick pics. Putin is crazy for them.

The rate of other women (it’s always women, except for ONCE when it was a guy) having meltdowns when I disclose my childfree-by-choice status has never varied, and I’m 48. And there was a period of extra hysteria among some of my acquaintances (and a couple of friends) when I got my tubes tied three months before my

Heh, yeah, those memes about how parents do the work of chefs and nurses and maids and shit, I’m thinking, you do realize that non-parents do those things too, right? Just cause I don’t have kids doesn’t mean I eat out every night and hire a maid.

Ugh, yes. I have a friend who asked me all the time if I want to meet her and the kids at the aquarium. First of it’s a Tuesday, I have to work, second, the aquarium cost $25 for adults.

Exactly. Except for me it’s a disabled parent. Actually, that’s a big reason I didn’t have kids. I knew I’d be expected to be a caregiver and I didn’t want to add more people to the mix. I don’t judge those who do though. We all get to live life our own way.

Amen to that. A big part of our decision to be CF is knowing that we will be responsible for a disabled sibling. It’s not like I was pondering reproducing and thought “Actually, more money for bar crawls would be better!”

Of course she doesn’t get it! “Work and friends and business and family responsibilities are NOTHING compared to parenthood” is the subtext of everything. Nevermind that your life is already plenty full & crammed with responsibilities— it doesn’t contain the one responsibility that SHE will understand and recognize.

I’m in my early 30s and have never wanted kids (it was a factor in a long term relationship breaking up, etc). We were talking about people’s babies at work one day (most of my co workers are older enough than me to have daughters who are having lots of babies) and someone asked me if I want kids. I said no, I never

This is what I came here to say. I’m not trying to be brave, I’m just trying to live my life.

I seriously do not feel brave . I want  people to respect my choice without there being a reason for it. like fuck off already.
