When a man can get pregnant, deal with the the morning sickness, the moodiness, gods forbid they get Gestational Diabetes and have to deal with the diet (whose didn’t turn up until 34 weeks, yup this girl! The worst 5 weeks of my entire pregnancy) and THEN push an object the size of a watermelon through an opening the…

Between the homophobe and the abuser I was really just hoping they’d beat each other to death.

YES! I’m not a Christian myself, but I keep looking at Christianity, and thinking, “There’s lots of good stuff in here. Kindness and love, and feeding the hungry. WHY do so many Christians ignore all the good stuff and pay attention to the cruddy bits???” They give Christianity a bad name, and it seems a shame. The…

Add kittens to the mix and I don’t care WHAT’S in that beard.

Things like equal justice and basic fucking human respect from the people they pay to protect and serve? The vast majority of people were not rioting. they were peacefully protesting. Those that were rioting almost certainly have figured that the only way to get real attention on this issue of police brutality is to…

Though, I’ll say this. I don’t think that the rioters and looters are the same as the protestors. I’ve been told, by people who were there, that after the Summer of Love the next spring the market was flooded with super inexpensive quaaludes, and that nothing happened that summer because everyone was on the floor…

Sorry, not true. Poor white neighborhoods aren't policed like poor black neighborhoods. There are NO MORE black drug addicts than white, yet there are 10x more black arrests for such. This is not an accident. You need to understand these policies of policing black neighborhoods goes back many, many decades. It truly…

It’s not about retribution or vengeance.

So a guy got killed by police, who broke his spine, and you care more about a few things stolen from CVS during a riot? Yes, that’s the major problem here. Shoplifting.

I don’t think they hurt him or messed him up, that’s what I truly think, but I do think they should have called a medic.

Well, seeing as how he “voiced her childhood,” I imagine she pictures him with a moodily furrowed brow and long flowing locks.

The fake tip was definitely a “Your religion is obviously false because if Hell existed, my white hot rage would be summoning demons to drag you down to it” moment. You think it’s a $20 (on my god, I can pay my gas bill!) and then it unfolds to say “Gotcha! Christ’s love is no joke!” Neither is my vengeance, you twaz.

At Tuol Sleng you literally walk across the bones of victims. They are right there, hipbones and femurs and teeth, poking though the earth as you walk past trees that were used as blunt instruments to kill children. I’m not sure how some more elegantly curated labels could have enhanced that experience.

My husband had to restrain me at a Disney World counter-service restaurant, where we waited in line to order for FIFTEEN MINUTES, and the people in front of me STILL had to lingeringly peruse the menu board which had been plainly visible to them for FIFTEEN MINUTES (did I mention we’d all been standing in front of it…

I work at a small local crawfish and crab joint in the Bay Area. Customers are mixed and all varieties with average Tip being in the 15%-5% range (not a big deal, the work is easy, the bosses are great and the occasional 25% helps keep you sane for the 2-3 tables a shift you do get stiffed). Anyway, we have/had a…

I’m a little late but here goes. I worked in a Gay Dennys in Arizona and soon after gay marriage became legal, I had the most adorable elderly couple of men, one white, one black. They were seated at the counter and had on these beautiful leis. I asked if I could feel the real flowers and asked what the occasion was.…

Never underestimate the value of a table spokesperson. From mothers that order for the painfully shy children during rushes to some customer that’s made sure EVERYONE HAS PICKED OUT WHAT THEY WANT. You are awesome!

Whaaaaaat? No Code was amazing!

It does have that poor-shaming vibe: lots of children, not knowing what “gratuity” means or how to pronounce it, spending welfare benefits on “luxuries” (any meal that isn’t beans, rice and sorrow is a “luxury” for anyone receiving assistance) ... just too many tropes.

My Spidey Sense is tingling at Sharon Sacre’s. It sounds....embellished.
