I’m just here to remind everyone that you should use mayo on the outside of the grilled cheese instead of butter. Yes, I know, mayo is gross, I hate it too. However, I learned of this a few years ago and I will never, ever, EVER use butter again. The mayo is magic and can’t be tasted. 

Right? When I am stuck on a flight and some baby is crying nearby (or even if one is just there) and some parent does the whole “I’m sorry” I make a point to actually just say “I don’t care. It’s a baby. We will all live. Have a nice flight.”

One time I flew on a 15 hour international flight with a very unhappy 11 month old. She finally passed out on me after I sang her to sleep. I didn't think I was so loud but the lady sitting in the aisle across leaned over and said, "I love how you just kept singing to her while she was crying. You were so calm, it…

THIS. I have travelled with my babies and I felt like I was managing a time bomb. Even if the baby isn’t crying, there is a palpable judgement and dread from some other passengers. A smile for me or the baby really helped me not to be a ball of nerves the whole time 

Honestly IME adults are the fucking worst. The worst flights I’ve spent have always involved entitled asshole adults being rude and annoying. And adults seem to be the ones that start fights after being asked to stop doing something, I’ve never had a 7 year old curse me out or threaten me for asking them to put their…

Thank you. I promise to not let my children kick your seat or scream in your ear and I promise to change their diapers only where appropriate and do what I can to reduce the chaos but for the love of god, don’t expect me or anyone else to not have children or for them not to do the shit children do (giggle, talk too…

Some insight from a local - He lost Texas because he had to build an infrastructure in a state where Democrats previously had none outside of metro enclaves.

No sirree, I don’t want my government getting in between me and my healthcare. I’m perfectly happy with a private corporation that has a clear profit incentive to deny me coverage.  

Seems like they...

It’s their cognitive dissonance at work.

White people are just lazy. Look at all the coal miners. They could move to a state like Georgia that has a severe shortage in agricultural workers and make money. Do they go? Nope. They just cry for their handouts. Obama gifted them job training programs. Did they take advantage? Nope. Just demanded welfare.

My wife and I went through a very similar experience, but we are in Ohio. Went in for a routine check up at 20 weeks. The doctor came in and told us they suspected he had bilateral renal agenesis, meaning he didn’t develop kidneys and likely wouldn’t be able to develop lungs. Told us they have only ever had one case…

Do none of these white supremacists know that if they fled corrupt USA to the lands of their vaunted pasty ancestors they’d be barraged with national health, 6 week annual vacations, $20/ hr burger flipping jobs, large trade unions, excellent public education, free college, corporate boards that are 50% labor by law,…

Exactly. The counter-message should be “the GOP are just trying to scare you. Ask any of them to define socialism off the top of their heads and explain why it’s bad, we’ll wait.  And as we’re waiting: do you want to make sure you’re not buried up to your eyeballs in medical debt? Would you like to not have to worry…

I went to a conference a few years ago, like three weeks after returning to work from maternity leave. And work conferences - they’re always like “let our coordinators know if you need anything!” But they couldn’t seem to figure out how to accommodate my need to pump and their coordinator (who was a woman) suggested…

It’s amazing that his positions galvanized a new generation of activism and have pushed the Democratic field to the left. He is demanding many things that we sorely need. I also agree that responsible adults must compartmentalize to some degree when it comes to political candidates - you won’t like EVERYTHING about…

I hope those little shit-eaters are terrified by the silent certainty that this is the most relevant they will ever be.

The funny part is, Bezos wipes his ass with $250 million.  I hope WaPo wins, then counter-sues and obliterates his family’s entire net worth in one go.

I approve. The kid (and probably his entire class) will have every last one of his private messages and emails related to the incident subject to discovery now.
