OK REAL TALK: what are your guy's thoughts on the "i'd rather you drink in my home" thing? because i'm a 20something who feels woefully under qualified to answer this stuff.

on one hand, i think it's enabling the behavior. on the other, i drank at some SHADY as places as a young teen. (i'm talking 13/14 drinking with…

Ok, so I'm from washington, lived here my whole 23 years and I love it. But I've lately been feeling really restless, and I've got it into my head that I should move to New York, (because I'm single and young and I love urban environments and I might as well while I can)

I used to be really tight with my family, like…

exactly. so why are they broadcasting this for people who don't have ethics?

ok, but aren't you just handing people a how-to guide to lifting by making this news????

people who might never have thought to shoplift will see these blogs now, (having never thought to search for them before), and think "whoa that's how easy it is to lift $1000 from urban outfitters and bloomingdales?"


i remember…

I feel you, but if it's particular cafes thing, than hell yes I'm brunching with a hippo. That toy was so cute.

ehhhhh, I think you hit the nail on the head. It's just a parent thing.

You learn to stop being squicked out by normal stuff because..well you have to.

pre chewing the food is the least weird thing on that list.

my mom would pre chew things like steak, apples, hot dogs, and things that her grandson could choke on and then put them in little bitts on a plate. (usually like 6 or 8). it was never a soggy gross mess, it was just shredded. (you just nibble with your front…

how did no one notice it? did you trade the textbook back after the year was over? did anyone think you wrote it?

It's called framing. the murders and slavery and rapes and tortures are never painted as good things or anything less than what they are.

The director is trying to say the rape wasn't rape.

yeah i was getting war flashbacks too.

My mom beat me over the head with a dictionary once. Fun times XDDDDDD

Real talk: I worked at Mcdonalds through my highschool years and everyday on my lunch, the hispanics would have the break room tv tuned into spanish telenovelas. Sometimes they'd explain what was going on, but mostly I just watched bewildered.

They're all like this and they're terrific.

whooooooa that's vintage internet right there.

Yes she knew her bio-dad and her bio-mom. They were all living there. The other adults who she didn't consider her parents (didn't call mom or dad) she referred to them as Aunts/uncles and other kids as cousins. If I remember right, no adult/family had been living with everyone under 5 years. It seemed pretty…

I knew a girl in High School named Valkyrie who was raised in a polyamorous home, and is poly herself. (or was, when she was 16)

She was a great person and she was my introduction to atypical families.

My question is: Have you interviewed adults who grew up this way? what was their experiences? How did it affect their…

Feminist blogs tend not to talk about it (weirdly enough)

I'm talking about young people and their fandom blogs. I see them post stuff al the time.

I don't know how old everyone one here is, but i'm a young 20sumthin and I have to say that the internet is amazing at frankly discussing sex.

If your kid is on tumblr, they know all about jerkin' and how to do it right. It's pretty amazing that these young girls, like 12-14ish, are getting tips on self empowerment…

What if you just buy her an electric toothbrush and hope for the best?

That ironic moment when I wasn't paying attention when freddie told me too.

[seriously. I completely missed that.]

I learned a new word! yay! now I can sound fancy at dinner parties.

"Oh sure, the president and all that. but truly what this country needs *delicate sip of wine* is a triumvirate."

[serious]

If they were her babies, why was it wrong for her to kill them? What about abortion? wouldn't that have been fine?
