This isn’t going to a popular opinion, but my husband works for Jet, it’s a cool company and on the whole is pretty good to it’s employees. To be honest from what I’ve been told nothing has really changed since they were taken over by Walmart.com. If anything Walmart.com (which is separate from Walmart the store) has

About five years ago, my husband Adam and I decided that it was finally time to start looking to purchase a house. We had always talked about buying an older, fixer upper home because we’ve had the idea that they hold more charm and character. Plus we can appreciate a place that has it’s own quirks and we love the

This is my favorite post of the year. I only wish Kinja would make it easier to save my place! I want to read aaaaaallllll the scary stories. I tried keeping the tab open, so I can use a scary story as a reward for working, and it reset the page. The horrors.

I’ve never posted, so this might live in the greys forever. But!

Uhhhhh there’s nothing okay about telling someone about your violent fetish after you’ve isolated them in your home. If he was really in touch with his kink in a healthy way, he would have known that.

This is a bit of a long one, sorry.

When I was, 7ish, my mom ran a small in-home daycare. My favorite was a little girl, we’ll call her May. May was probably 3 and maybe a little developmentally delayed. She almost NEVER spoke and had a lazy eye that her genius parents thought would go away if they just ignored it, but all of this just made her cuter.

Minimal (if any) support for mothers, no affordable childcare, and the burden of care placed on women.

Voting is ultimately an act of choosing outcomes, and not an effective instrument to express personal views, convictions and personal ideology.

Ask us Nader voters how that worked out. Better yet, ask everyone. Including the maimed and wounded from Bush’s wars or the families of the dead. Nevermind, it’s all about you.

Then actually fight for change. Stepping into a voting booth and not voting for one of the only two people who have any chance of becoming president isn’t fighting for change. Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is going to be the next President, period. Voting for Hillary Clinton is not mutually exclusive to fighting for

“I am indignant at the use of this overly bombastic misleading shaming rhetoric! My word!”

It’s fine that you don’t want to vote for a candidate that you don’t think represents your ideals, but it is also fine that Bee lives in the real world and recognizes that: (1) there are only two candidates with a chance to win this presidential election and (2) if you refuse to vote for the one that most closely

Sam Bee is not obligated to support your quixotic dream of remaking our democracy at the expense of our actual democracy.

As an idiot who works in state govt, I think I have to add in my experiences with mosquito spraying. Yes, Naled should be sprayed either early in the AM or late at night to mitigate possible non-target effects. Unfortunately, this requires pilots to be experienced and trained for night flying and aircraft equipped

I fell in love with Dylan in high school and never looked back. Man is a straight up genius, even if he’s also a bit of a weirdsmobile.

I think it depends on how you view his music. I’m a writer so to me his voice and music were always back seat to what he was saying. I wouldn’t listen to Dylan if I just wanted some good background music but his lyrics are just so memserizing. His voice grew on me.
