The lifespan of an outdoor cat is approximately five years. The lifespan of an indoor cat is 15-20 much healthier years.

That is awesome. I wish someone in my husband's family was having a baby, they have a whole thing about poop in his family.

I buy kids books when in foreign countries. I was in a hurry in the Oslo airport and found a little book with a mole wearing a funny hat. So I bought it. While perusing it on the plane, I realized that it wasn't a hat. Someone had shit on the mole's head and he was in search of which animal pooped on his head. It is…

I got to:

Well obviously, you care, a lot it seems.

Have the other men authorized you to speak on their behalf? I really only take fashion advice from the official delegate.

Please consider including this bit in your online dating profile, because the women checking out your ad need to know this about you.

Thank you so much for that mansplain. Everything we women do is geared toward the male gaze after all. You have provided a service, sir.

That's for mansplaining what we should wear to impress the mens. We care a lot about what makes your boner sad.

The only way for us to collectively fight back is to DOCUMENT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. If you live in a state with one-party consent rules on recording, get your phone rolling ASAP when a situation like this arises. Hell, most fast food places record their employees on video in case they need a reason to fire them, so it…

I am a smug jerk who loves almond milk. That shit is delicious.

This is what gets me about the food service industry. There are all these extremely strict health code regulations and in restaurants you get surprise health department inspections all the time. They are pick about the temperature of holding areas, refrigerators, sell-by dates on packages, on and on, all of it…

Your first 'graph. We're fucking doomed.

It's not just food service employees.

Health workers are inundated with lectures about their great responsibility to their clients and keeping them healthy, but try to call off sick as a health worker. My employer has actually told people that they couldn't call off. Employees who tried to call off were told that they…

This comment is everything! I want out of the US too, but where to go?

That's the thing: it ISN'T deliberate malice. It's something much, much worse: de-sensitized apathy and a ground-in tendency to turn off your basic empathy for your fellow man.

The Bush years. This definitely was not the common thread during Clinton's presidency, when I was a kid. During the early 2000's, Republicans waged a horrifyingly successful "the poor are to blame for their own poverty" propaganda campaign. Then when the collapse (that they caused, because that's what always fucking…

That's what you get when you live in a country with no mandatory paid sick leave. That vomit smell? That's the smell of freedom, buddy. 'Murica.

One of my kids was sick and fainted at a retail job. Her coworkers stepped over her. When she came to she was expected to work the rest of her shift.

This is why people with chronic illness find it nearly impossible to hold down jobs. I once had a very similar situation when working in retail (I was in the middle of a flare and ended up fainting in the women's room and being taken to the ER) and while my boss didn't fire me, he did tell me if I called out again I…
