No but it does show which article the folks who wrote that dictionary used.

Liking for the Clarence Thomas reference (tho how can anyone keep track? My brain starts exploding with rage & disbelief...) but sorry, I never read Measure for Measure. Plus I don’t need fictional examples when there are sadly so many from IRL.

Oh FFS! How many times do we have to hear about this shite? The Air Force dude in charge of a sexual assault response team who gropes women (& gets away with it!) All the cops who are supposed to protect domestic violence victims who beat their partners or tell people like my sister that they need to “behave” after…

I hope it got betier later. I have fibromyalgia & arthritis, I understand the power of distraction. I recommend silly kitty videos & binge wathing Epic Rap Battles of History, tho perhaps at a lower volume than usual.

Persnickety is one of my favourite words ever btw

Welp, I just woke up, but that’s enough Internet for today.

Right picture -You can actually see the shame in the downcast tilt of his head.

Aw you beat me to it. I think every clip-in man bun needs to have a Tribble coo function

You have to tell them!

When I was in elementary school in Kent, WA my best friend was a prostitute. She was 11 but she looked 20, fully developed & resembling Bernadette Peters w/an acne problem. Her mom was almost never home & I’ve no idea about her dad. Crystal (name changed to protect the no longer innocent) was practically feral. She…

How could he NOT know? I mean she blatantly talks about touching herself & getting off. Wow

Is American Hustle a war movie?

Very glad you found something that helped! Feeling nearly untethered can be so terribly frightening. Mostly I’m tethered anymore. I would love to fill in some gaps in my memory, but otherwise it’s only during times of extreme distress that I “check out” & even then not completely.

Thank you. Yes it certainly is a fascinating subject. My mother had one hell of a horrific childhood (almost literally, it seems) & my grandfather was a monster lurching around in human flesh. I was so grateful when he died a few years ago so he couldn’t prey on anymore children (the fact that members of the family…

This article is so important. I’ve mostly broKen up with my entire extended family b/c nearly the entire family tree is poison, but I have tremendous guilt about my mother who is toxic through no fault of her own. Mental illness is a bitch, & some stuff just can’t be that well treated. To the outside world she seems…

(Sorry if this is a double post. I *think* kinja ate my first one but I don’t post often so it’s hard to tell. )

(Why oh why can’t I cut & paste here!?! Argh!!! Welp, here goes again...)

And since my mother has multiple personalities & my father was a paranoid ex-military psycho with PTSD it's surprising I don't have more unresolved childhood issues. I never said the dad in the video didn't make it up to his daughter. I'm just saying I can't assume he did. I have seen a lot of shitty parents. (And…

well yes that's likely. I did say I do understand my mom & that her reasons weren't dickish, just circumstantial, but it still sucks as a child to go through that not understanding & feeling let down & tricked. I'm pointing out by personal examples that we don't "all know" he produced the doll after tricking his…

Except we don't know that. I know a couple who have a 13 year old daughter who desperately wanted a cellphone. That's all she ever asked for. On her birthday they took a cellphone box, filed it with crayons & wrapped it up. She got so excited when she unwrapped that box she was jumping up & down screaming but when she…
