If you google Jeremy Perkins, you can find a pretty good amount of detail on the story. He was a few years older than me, and we were part of the same social group- so, friends, but not super tight. According to the reporting, he showed signs of schizophrenia around 24, which would have been about a year after I…

I can only hope that if Quiverfull gains any kind of size, it will collapse under the weight of its own idiocy.

Quiverfull drives me nuttier- which is a hell of a feat, considering a friend of mine was one of those Scientology horror stories- but IMO Scientology is more scary in its ability to isolate people because they do it despite being huge. Quiverfull adherents are a pretty fringe group, plus they’re really just the…

Even better, he’s started to say the immigration issue will be solved with management. As in, he’s going to “hire great people who know what they’re doing instead of political hacks who don’t know what they’re doing”. So he’s not just being vague, he’s straight up saying he’s just going to delegate rather than figure…

She said the show is less nuanced. Which is true.

If someone’s just a casual friend, I might pick my spot, but I will call them on this type of bullshit.

How sad is it that I’m surprised they wrote it into the script at all?

If my daughter grew up without a mother because I flatlined on the operating table, at least she’d know I had my priorities straight.

No, people in Buffalo are so jaded, they can objectively recognize something like this in their moms and still love them anyway.

“A rape joke is a joke where rape itself is somehow an object of humor.“

And the dress.

I always wanted to see a post before anyone had replied to it, and it’s the one I can’t possibly find anything to say about. Other then jesus fucking hell I want his exercise regimen.

The U.S. of A: Now striving to be on Cambodia’s level!

Minnesota has different minimum wages based on the size of the company you work for. There’s no reason mandated kiddie leave can’t be scaled similarly.

Oh yeah, the boy with the pink Pikachu shirt would have gotten off scot free. I don’t like the idea of school uniforms, but shit like this does make me mull it over.

Well then, let’s just give the fuck up. Right? If parents’ ideas about gender roles aren’t going to change, why bother trying?

Which is just a pain in the ass. GIVE ME THE THINGS FOR MAKING COOKIES.
