I feel like “I want to be surprised” is a recipe for disappointment like, 95% of the time (and not just for engagement rings). Most people aren’t surprised by a proposal these days, and lots have a preference on a ring. I mean, I’ve known my boyfriend for years and if you told me to pick him out some highly emotional…

And most importantly, you get to be self righteous in comment threads about engagement rings. And who can put a price on that?

You’re going to (hopefully) spend the rest of your life with this person. Have a conversation with them like a goddamn adult and get her exactly what she wants with an agreed upon budget.

Did he really say that? But that’s like...all the policy. I’m going to tell my next boyfriend that I’ll handle all the chores, as long as he takes care of the ones inside and outside the house.

There’s an entire country in Europe where millions of white folk speak flawless Spanish almost from birth.

My 3 month old son was in TEARS yesterday when he realized only women can be president and that Hillary Clinton hates him. I’m 95% sure that’s why he was upset. Of course I drank his tears to regenerate my power.

I’m not blind to color. Orange is my least favorite color and it clashes with my most favorite color which is not being an asswipe.

Yeah!

YEP

Clarification is important. It is a vile act in any case, but the distinction (“Syrian refugee kills woman” vs “man murders partner”) makes a difference in the lives of other innocent people.

No. Not the same.

I don’t care whose side you’re on, dragging a toddler into this fight is disgusting. If you think being an adult means getting back at someone by ‘looking out’ for their kid, then you’re doing it wrong.

no one should get death threats. let’s just make that clear off the bat.

Angels for Satan

If this whole thing doesn’t spawn some sort of fantastic epic crossover diss song with Mayer, Perry, Harris and Kanye, I just might die of disappointment.

...a secret mean girl??

You’re right, but the point is that TSwift and her people denied that the conversation even took place. Tay has been caught in a lie and her “poor me” narrative is starting to bite her in her perky 25-year old ass.

Let’s compare that photo with a recent photo from the Mayor of London. Diversity the one thing that scares Republican party and UKIP, they can unite on that.

I went to training this week to explain the math common core standards. It was full of teachers and I was one of only three people of color there. The other two women were in my carpool. There is something wrong with that. Students need to see people like them as teachers.

Yep. No one’s gonna have to serve that sign pizza in Indiana.
