She’s also essentially outing her child as trans. Initials are used in the complaint she filed, but there are enough details there (parents’ names, details about the family) that classmates and anyone else who knows her personally will be able to identify her.

Not to mention the danger she’s putting the child in. Violence against transgendered people is rampant enough now that people in the community know that there’s no family support it makes for an easier target bc no one’s mom/dad are going to be hunting them down with a shotgun.

“Their rights” in the sense that they think they have the “right” to basically own and control their children as they see fit. I’ve seen this argument about “rights” being violated a lot in the fundie homeschool community, ‘cause God forbid we have standards as to how well children are educated.

Literally, let’s put a end cap on this fucking year. Someone please blow this fucking useless rock into the sun.

“I’m also taking this action for the benefit of all parents and families, who may be facing the same violation of their rights—”

“It is not enough for you to be out of my house. I insist you also be miserable.”

Let’s hope the daughter countersues this — person — for harassment and emotional distress.

“I want to destroy you for your own good. Why can’t you see that, you ungrateful little shit that I effectively disowned.”

In the UK the BBC did a curious show called ‘Eating With...’, where celebs demonstrated their usually mundane eating habits. A National Treasure named Cilla Black (now passed), featured her favourite snack - half an orange with a beef bouillon cube rubbed into the flesh. A nation gagged.

I thought the same thing! Another hideous “fruit salad” from another era. 

Fuck you for making me look this up.

My Mom and Dad, raised in the Deep South, make banana and mayonnaise sandwiches on plain white bread all the time! Last time my son visited they made him one — don’t know how he’s missed out on eating one all these years — and I can tell you he’s the most adventurous eater I know, and he could not eat it.

The only redeeming part about banana is it can be made into banana bread after they turn black and die.

OMG. My mom has been talking about lettuce, mayo, peanut butter and toasted bread sandwiches forever. She says that her grandmother made them for her as a kid (though no one else in her family remembers this) and now I feel like this gives her some level of vindication because it’s possible she didn’t just make them…

Sounds suspiciously like “candlestick salad” - and upright banana with a pineapple ring around the base to help it stay upright, and a maraschino cherry at the top as the flame, with a drizzle of mayo as the melted wax. Again, lettuce just for looks.

I’m horrified.

Probably because he absolutely knows it’s best for the country, including all those that voted for him. And he’s a decent person.

Why should Obama waste even one second of his precious time schooling this fuckwit on how to do his job? Fuck that shit. Fuck being the bigger person. Fuck “doing what’s right.” Fuck being nice. Fuck all of it. Obama would be 1000% justified in walking out the door on 1/20/17, taking everything that’s his (including…

I can see him basically keeping everyone from Obama’s staff just so he doens’t have to deal with hiring anyone. Obama should suggest that to him. Since Trump seems like a bit of a pushover (one hour-long meeting and Obama is no longer “the most ignorant president in history,” and the ACA has some really good parts in…

Not only has 2016 been such a shit year, with megalomaniacs on the rise to power across the globe like we haven’t seen since the lead-up to WWII (when dozens of world powers didn’t have nuclear weapons), it could also be our last year!
