This is pretty low. A cover letter is supposed to help you show the hiring manager what you can bring to a new job, and this woman wants to use skills she's gained in the past to be a victim advocate in the future. This is probably an entry level job for her, or she'd be talkinga bout her criminal justice experience.…

I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not one to say, but I listen to a film podcast in the UK (where my expat-ass resides) and people have frequently commented on the misogynist tones of the film, especially one particularly abhorrent joke at the end. No idea what the joke is, I've just heard that it had women fuming and…

Sometimes it's not about being indignant, it's just logistics. There was a family wedding I really wanted to attend, but it was a 3 hour flight away and my 8-month-old wasn't invited. No babysitters were provided, geographically it was nowhere near anyone we knew who could have pinch hit as a sitter or even made a…

Quick story that, I guess, shows why I love having kids at weddings and why it's probably a bad idea. A fraternity brother's wedding where it was very heavy on your readings and vows and in the middle of it all this kid, who at most was five years old, says very loudly "THIS IS SO FREAKING BORING" and then gets…

Littlefoot's mom. WHO'S CHOPPING ONIONS AND WHY IS RAINING ON MY FACE?

Oh god, the revisionist assholes. Those people can go take a short leap off of a long pier.

I am creeped by people who have weddings at such locations with the subtext of glorifying horrificly troubling times, but it's not always the case. By that logic we'd topple a great number of historic sites not only in the American South but across the country and in truth the world. The answer is not to dismantle and…

But Sondheim said that "Any Moment" is in:

How do you know it's a lady?

This language, "tricked" into an involuntary hold, is bothersome. One does not consent to an involuntary hold, that's what makes it involuntary. There's no pleasant happy way for this to happen. It sounds like the way it happened for Amanda was probably preferable to the way it happens for a lot of people (police…

As long as there's still a reference to the "DISAPPEAR! DISAPPEAR!" troll. I'll be happy. Honestly, the ride is poorly aged and underwhelming (ratty polar bears? An oil rig?) and the actual country of Norway is refusing to pay for any refurbishments in their pavilion, so I'm excited about the new ride. Although I will…

I like Maelstrom in all it's cheesiness. I hope they keep the troll on the ride in tribute to the pavilion's history.

And sadly I can't post a gif from Life of Brian, so just imagine me as Terry Jones as Brian's mother shouting, "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy! Now, piss off!"

I always assumed that stupid ruling would be overturned, but never followed up, so thanks for sharing this!

My husband and I decided he would "geo-bach"(basically he moved for work and I stayed home with our young daughter) because his deployment schedule was going to be bananas for a year or so. That year turned into three, and while it wasn't ideal, he came out to visit every few months and I thought we were okay. We…

"perform cesarean surgery on her "with or without [her] consent" if she came to the hospital."

I am so sorry you go through that and share your phobia. A garter snake was on our porch not too long ago, and I called animal control. It seemed the only sane option, and I'm sure they had a good laugh over it.

Your fear sounds a little worse than mine, but this. So much this. My coworker works with snakes and "they're sweet and harmless." No, they're not. They want to kill me. #ihatesnakes

"A MONGOOSE FOR EVERY BATHROOM"

People laughed at me when I stocked my bathroom with mongooses instead of toilet paper.

Now who's laughing?!
