Even money would have been her shooting him on accident. 

One of my favorite pictures is her mother walking hand in hand with her to school. Ruby is the child who joined a desegregated school, and her mother is the heroic and terrified adult who made sure it happened. The high-head, shoulders-back walk of her mother is fucking ICONIC.

Disappointed nobody has posted that meme of Homer and Bart... cops PERPETUATE violence against women.  Why would they do anything meaningful about it if it means the 40% reported abuse rates might be ACTED upon?? 

“I feel like a failure”... because you are! You abandoned your child! Adopted children are not, as another poster said “on spec” for fucks sake he became your child the day you decided to adopt him, you don’t get to return him to Nordstom because he no longer matches the living room, you maniacal cunt.

For all the things they can get wrong, one of the things I love about the principles of AA is the insistence on first accounting for your own shit, honestly and fairly, and then making amends BUT ONLY WHERE DOING SO WILL NOT CAUSE GREATER HARM. Like, christalmighty, yeah some people will not be soothed by your… Read more

Came down here JUST for that... on my life, this appears to be the hardest lesson of that early adulthood transition - some things don’t get re-dos.  Some decisions you make are fucking permanent and there is no scripted resolution where everyone lives happily ever after and things work out.  Reasons why it’s all the… Read more

Wow, she loves peplum on jackets...

I only started watching this because my partner would leave marathons on in the background while he naps, and when he was awake for them insisted “it’s a free course in management 101 - what not to fucking do”... so 1. Chefs are always drama and everyone on the boat acts like chef = therapist. 2. Hannah is an absolute… Read more

Just here for the doggo in matching pajamas.  <3 

First song of his I heard was “Hello in There.” Had me crying on the freeway. My favorite remains “Illegal Smile”, so thank you John for the laughs to go with it. 

Lol, no hun, if the course is shut down like it should be, everyone is laid off and can get unemployment benefits.  If the course isn’t shut down and you quit out of concern for your own safety, you’re fucked. Nice try though.

On top of that, you’re protecting working class folks who operate the places those assholes are golfing at and are being forced to risk getting sick so these bored white bastards can swing a club... and since the alternative to that is quitting and forgoing any unemployment benefits, it fucking sucks. Good one,… Read more

It’s been a couple weeks since I was listening to his address and he was talking about the projections based on how seriously we take social distancing, how soon the spike is, how many cases to expect, etc... and I had to choke it back because I was driving, but I welled up with gratitude to have a scientifically… Read more

The city of Los Angeles has ordered that all eviction activities be suspended and that landlords must permit a six month delay of rent collection (e.g., you’ll still owe your rent but you’ll have time to catch up, not that anyone who doesn’t have the rent today is going to have today’s rent plus September’s by then). … Read more

 I hear you, I see you.  My daughter’s meltdowns turned severe and self-injurious about 6 months ago.  The recognition and empathy of a stranger is one of the kindest things you can receive.  

Not nearly as extraordinary as others, but the most recent I can think of... both of my kidlets are autistic and one of them has a very hard time with transitions, non-preferred activities, and basically the whole of anything outside the scope of desirability. Had stopped at the pharmacy that has the ice cream counter… Read more

Yeah the first time I saw an older picture of her, I thought it was fake. Narcissism really does a number on your skin.

I heard the stats last night on NPR and I just... for people who deeply believe that the man who ushers in the End Times is, in fact, the Antichrist, and that they are supposed to resist him at all costs knowing that “many will be fooled” and FUCKING STILL with all that drilling the bird shit right on their faces and… Read more

J’adoreeeeeeeeeeee the emerald, that became my new Hot Color Of The Year (e.g., I will purchase far too many garments in the exact same shade) in December.

Love in the time of chol- er, COVID-19.
