Newtown was the moment that I realised that we had entirely lost this war. If that couldn’t change peoples’ minds, absolutely nothing could. Nothing.

If someone gunning down 20 little kids didn’t change the gun laws nothing will. Sad but true.
Also, she’s not being forced into a gay marriage, which is more like the war analogy. People with religious objections to being in the military still were legally required to support the war effort in some ways, like compulsory rationing in WWII. You didn’t get to say, “Nope, I’m a Quaker, so I can buy all the sugar I…
Don’t take a job as an executioner then. Don't like the changes to your job? Can't in good conscience do them? Step the fuck down.
I don’t like to be rude online these days. I like having conversations with people, learning new things, and finding different opinions- plus how they formed. But here’s the thing: My daughter likes Superheroes AND Princesses. But she’s only allowed one “girl” aisle in the toy section- even Nerf’s ‘Rebel’ bow and…
And they wonder why there are so many anti-dentites!
I’m the same way. I love Mr Oldfogeybadger like crazy, but I enjoy my alone time when he is out with his buddies. Fortunately, he understands this. It actually helped me to compare notes with a friend who is an extrovert married to an introvert, so I could better understand what she was going through, and how she…
Introvert does not equal insular, shy and quiet. That’s the whole point. I’m an extreme Introvert. I am confident, can be outgoing when I want to be, and popular at work (I don’t care about being “popular” in social circles.) Granted, it’s taken me awhile to figure out how to get noticed in my career since I’m not…
Not to mention, if he WAS an earlier iteration of the character that was to become the Atticus we know today, even Lee may not see a continuation of the character so much as a rough draft, whose character she had to change to suit the needs of the new story. I’m writing a play, and in no way are earlier character…
This is why I can’t date people. I feel like nothing that any guy says on date is worth me listening to. Why do most conversations bore me so much? What is wrong with me?
First they came for our dishware, and I did not speak out—
It sickens me even more that she was saying these things while having knowledge of the fact that a child molester who wasn’t trans, gay, or any of the other sexual minorities she was worrying about living under her roof and being protected and celebrated. These idiots should have never been on the air in the first…
I’m actually very impressed with TLC. They don’t mess around when the sexual abuse of a child is on the table General Mills advertising money is on the table. Well done!
I’m not impressed with TLC. These dysfunctional freakshow families have been their bread and butter for while - John & Kate Plus 8, Honey Boo Boo, these folks etc. It should surprise no one that people willing to exploit their kids’ privacy for money might not be the greatest parents, and TLC only ever seems to give a…
As a trans woman I just enjoyed being continually being called a predator and a molester by Michelle Duggar with hardly one bit of evidence other than her say-so. At times, I just have to wonder why Americans allow such bigoted and dangerous people into their lives and on their TVs. How much fear and violence do I…
Baby 1: “We need to have a serious talk about your choices”
This is what was unsettling to me. A bunch of people on my news feed were talking about how great it was that she was whipping his ass into shape - like her reason for beating on him was that she disapproved of his looting, not that she was worried about him. I don’t know; there were so many assumptions there - that…
That’s thing that kills me. Most parents try to raise their kids right, yet it seems that even some black people have bought into this crap that only only some black parents do. It makes me sad and angry (sangry?) and to me, is just yet another underlying reason why there’s a violent protest for a mother to fear her…
This woman didn’t do this because she doesn’t believe in the movement or the protest, she did it out of fear for the safety of her kid. She is not a hero mom, just a scared one. All the parents are scared - almost every black kid has had that experience. The one where you are scolded by your parents because you chose…
