My step family used to try that on me. My anti-theist mom told me to scream ‘it burns’ if anyone ever succeed in baptizing me.

should see its followers spit on in the streets.

The pope is not a dictator. He faces a lot of opposition from pretty much every interest group - the bishops and cardinals in Africa, Southeast Asia and Southern America hate his relatively liberal approach to homosexuality, women’s roles in the church and contraception, the bishops in Europe and Northern America…

Flying Squid don’t got time for ya logic.

Don’t try to mask your ridiculous comments by calling it “humor.”

Yes, I wept. Thank you.

I think Salma could be a GREAT villain. Did you see Savages? Dreadful movie, but she’s fantastic in it. So satisfyingly vicious.

I wish he and John Madden would have a draw-off. PHOTO SUBJECT: Ikea media center, catalogue picture. MEDIUM: Crayola markers. OBJECTIVE: Most comments with at least 40% relevancy. PRIZE: Turducken onesie.

It really is one of the most eloquent victim impact statements I’ve ever read.

I almost quite literally gave her a standing ovation at my desk. What a strong, powerful, deeply personal statement. I simply cannot understand how a living, breathing human being can stand there listening to, “ I had to force myself to relearn my real name, my identity. To relearn that this is not all that I am.” and…

I actually had 5 minutes with her, but I spent two of them just repeating “it’s SUCH an honor...”

And scare the ever loving shit out of women too, look at the homicide and victimization rates along with the anecdotal events.

If you are thinking of executing a murder/suicide, just reverse the order. I promise it will still work.

Well, at least we had Wednesday, I guess.

Poor guy. But Legal Aide Society lawyers are underpaid and under-staffed—-I don’t think suing them is the answer.

The awareness stuff is deeply unsettling. It feels like glorifying something awful (cancer, shootings, the marathon bombings) for money and attention that doesn’t benefit those who are victims or those trying to stop those things. Every year Boston rolls out the marathon shit and I just want to hide under my bed until…

I think sometimes parents forget that people have been having kids for a long long time, before all the high dollar BS to get people to feel bad because precious isn’t like ideal.

I’ve nannied/managed other nannies and yes the job is primarily being paid to look after children but arguable a big part of the business is telling parents “it’s o-fucking-k.” The fact that often times telling parents (yes, 90% of the time mothers) that is a business practice and not a societal standard is kind of…

The shift in women’s identities that went along with joining the workforce brought yet another rich zone of maternal self-doubt, and attachment parenting was right there with some zesty data to make you feel extra shitty about all the time you spent away from your kids.

Are you me? I’m so sleep-deprived I can’t tell.
