    I actually saw this quote on twitter regarding rape, abortion and the notion the baby would be a cursed spawn “...the baby is 100% the child of the woman as surely as if it were a virgin birth. The rapist has no claim. He has forfeit his rights and is no father”

    Ugh, yes. All the stupid comments about fearing for their sons. I wonder if they think girls are ‘asking for it’ (by being alone, drinking, what they were wearing...) will they give their sons the same warning...and then blame them if they are accused? Nope, it’ll still be a girls fault their son is in the situation. J

    when men touch the small of our backs when they need to move past us,

    The message is the same though. He’s on our side, it’s OK, put up with it.

    Great message to send to our kids. “he’s more on our side than theirs, so just let him sniff you and make you uncomfortable”. Same reason people shrug their shoulders with Trump and say “we knew what we were getting”. They like his ‘policy’ so he can be an adulterer, groper, pay hookers, whatever. He’s on their side.

    I believe it. I serve on a foundation that awards scholarships. My jaw almost hit the floor when I realized one of the letters of recommendation for an applicant was from her own Mother. 

    Exactly this. I love Marshalls. I once brought a friend and she was skeptical but we sifted through all sorts of treasures and now I text her and send pictures of all the random good finds (she lives in another town). My fave find was a beautiful table cloth.

    Ironic how they Trump was so concerned about terrorists that he had to start the travel ban, yet making sure workers that actually keep up safe are paid and taken care of? Oh, not his problem. He’s quite sure they don’t mind showing up for work while trying to get the grocery store to let them run a tab....

    “Broflakes” brings me joy out of all this “wait, why can’t I be a complete dick anymore?” stupidity. Star for you.

    I saw this photo on a billboard in Houston a few days ago, made me smile. We had a lot of motivated voters, on both sides, who vote straight ticket. I think helped for the ‘smaller’ races like these judges. If I recall correctly there were some 60 seats that were open for judges, I tried to read about each one before

    Their account is one of the reasons I check twitter regularly. whoever runs their social media is brilliant, and I’m glad they made an appropriate reply to that tweet. 

    In the healthcare field as well, I completely agree. Basics for everyone, and then add supplemental coverage. The current system is not just broken, it’s ridiculous.

    “The rules also allow schools to address more complaints through informal resolutions.”

    I’ve been so excited seeing people wearing them again! Just today I commented to a young 20something that I’m digging mine out of the closet! He asked me how old mine were...I mumbled something about the 80's and changed the subject. Yes, they are old but I still love them.

    Currently the “feels like” temperature here in the south is 101 with a stupid amount of humidity. I cannot be objective. Heat, humidity and denim? No shirt? heebee jeebees.

    Have a recipe that doesn’t leave the roof of my mouth all scratched to hell after eating Cap’n Crunch? I’d buy that

    I’d like to head the department of “can you explain what you are doing to a sweet old lady?” If the answer is no or they stumble to try, I get to stick an angry ferret in their pants.

    Grease and Depeche Mode (well, and Prince). I don’t quite remember when it occurred to me that the lyrics were so sexual, but I’m sure it shaped my mind in ways that were not appropriate....

    I had no idea! I used to love the hell out of sriracha in the mid 90's as a poor college kid and pho was a few bucks a bowl (man, that sentence makes me sound old/slightly hipster..?) Anyway, it’s good for ramen and soups, but that’s about it.

    oh man, currywurst is good. Spaghetti pie is good. I would do this...
