This is why I live in the middle of nowhere. That, and my fear of decent food and entertainment.

I’m very sorry for your loss. People seem to think that when you’re young you’ll recover more easily. That’s not true. It’s a greater shock. As I get older, loss becomes more common, and I’ve become more accepting.

Trump has developed like “Three Stooges Syndrome” for scandals, because there is just so much bad shit about him out there, even just on the business side, that it’s hard for any one thing to rise above.

Harping on this stuff is actually very clever of Trump’s allies. In our intensely sexist and woman-hating culture, it was the Republican attacks on Bill Clinton’s sexual adventures that actually saved Clinton from real political trouble back in the day, and boosted his approval ratings into the 60s.

Ouch, my soul. I am so sorry for the pain you carry with you. I am sorry that there is no way to lighten that burden. I am sorry that life, although glorious, is incredibly brief, and that death is a tragedy. I hope you find many more reasons to smile.

Jesus Christ, get a fucking clue:

Exactly - this is to deflect attention from his association with NAMBLA, which is well documented on the internet.

You don’t have to go to the graveyard no matter what anyone else says. He isn’t in the graveyard. That unique spark of life that made him who he was has moved on - though you can still find bits of it - in you - in your surroundings - even if he was never in that physical place. Graveyards are kind of dumb. When…

Unfortunately, this shapes our national dialogue about death and dying. The reason dying and death are so taboo is because of this platitudinous moronitude - garnished with a side order of mainstream religion.

Lost my husband a year ago and it’s all been a breathing exercise. I am in awe of you. Thank you for sharing.

Hillary should’ve lawfully stopped him from strangling a baby! It’s her fault!

Lots of people are saying the baby said it wanted to be strangled in a locker room. Believe me.

As if his hands could wrap all the way around a baby’s neck.

The loss of my Dad is like a scar - the immediate pain healed with time but there is always going to be something there. It’s always going to be before and after.

Fuck cancer. I’m so sorry for your loss.

It has gotten slightly better, in the sense that I no longer check to see if his water bowl is filled every time I walk into the kitchen. But you’re right, it is like a physical wound.. maybe because we’re so physical with our pets? They’re so tactile in what they need to be happy, and that becomes such a big part of…

I am so sorry. I think a lot of people don’t get how hard it is to lose a dog. I have found after losing dogs over my lifetime (56 years), it does get just bit easier each time. The first dog that was just *my* dog—not my family’s dog, the one who got me through law school and a move a 1000 miles away to a crazy…

This is one of the reasons I love Tig Notaro so much too. You feel a little bit of each of their vulnerabilities on stage. I don’t care if it’s cheesy, it feels very human watching them.

“Everything happens for a reason...”

I was at the show. You could tell a few times how he was working through some really, really difficult stuff. Most of it stuck though, even if he wasn’t back to 100% like he said. You could tell a lot of audience was having trouble gauging certain punchlines at times when he got into the stuff with his wife - but it…
