lordy. the cynicism here is amazing. 

More proof that mint chocolate is disgusting.

I don’t think it has to make sense to you.  It is about integrating and processing her family story.

Right?! STOP FUCKING APOLOGIZING TO THIS WOMAN FOR SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED. The jokes weren’t about her goddamn appearance, and I don’t believe that she doesn’t understand that. Fuck her.

Can we scrap the new Nicki Minaj album in favor of a new Tracy Chapman album?

“I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies,” Moretz wrote.”

It was either cheating or making Friends with Benefits.

Is there any good song that is 20 minutes long?

Probably just the ghost of an unvaccinated child.

No, Meghan doesn’t have to do anything regarding her family to make you or anyone else feel better.

I have such a real man/celebrity crush on Patrick Wilson. Basically, he seems like a normal dude who happens to be incredibly talented in a field where any amount of success means you get at least a perfunctory level of fame. But he’s just a guy in Dad jeans who picks his kids up and forgets to get half and half at…

Both of these guys are standup members our NJ town. Patrick’s sons go to my kids’ school and he’s one of those dad’s who takes his turn at after school pick up, attends events, helps direct the school musical and even performs by drumming at the holiday concert. It’s incredibly cool to see a celeb so obviously a big…

My dad is a polio survivor - he was lucky enough to just have it in one leg. He does live with post-polio syndrome, but even scarier to think about is the PTSD he has from the polio ward. He doesn’t talk about it much, but I remember him saying once that some of the children called the nurses mommy, because their…

I used to see a mom quite a bit at my son’s different activities. I found out she had a pox party — yes that is a thing. Then she asked me if we could carpool. My answer was no.
Another mutual acquaintance told me I should respect other people’s choices/beliefs. When your choices threaten my family I don’t give a fuck…

As a parent of an autistic child, the idea that it’s better to risk your kid dying of a completely preventable disease rather than risk them turning out like my son is the reason why I absolutely fucking hate anti-vax people. It is a hurtful, dangerous, and pathetically uneducated way of thinking.

It should be illegal. It’s straight up child abuse. You’d have CPS on your ass faster than light if you, say, told your kid to jump in a snake pit. Not vaccinating is basically “get in there, hope you don’t get bit, kid.”

I think a lot of schools/states allow personal exemptions. I know there was a Mumps outbreak at the university that I work at. My OB’s office was worried (and preparing) for a measles outbreak. I lost my measles immunity after a miscarriage and couldn’t get the MMR while pregnant the second time. My OB told me I would…

My mother went to school with children who were part of the last wave of Polio in the US. They’d survived being in an iron lung. Those who could still walk did so with leg braces. Many now face dealing with Post-Polio Syndrome.

I wish it was illegal to do this. You are endangering others and your child. Your child didn’t have a choice to be born to someone who actively rejects science.
