I’m still on the fence. I’ve been married for a year, and still have my maiden name. It’s partially out of laziness (so much paperwork!), and also out of a strange affection for my name that I’ve never really had before. It’s long and (for some) difficult to pronounce, but it’s so damn German ich liebe das. I dunno, I…

Well, it was a combination of fear of ticks/too lazy to slather sunscreen all over for me, but if it means I’m a trendsetter, I’ll take it.

Be prepared to pay $25 for entry (maybe more, I went in 2007), and face pressure to give your name and address for mailings. You can refuse, of course, but I think that’s how they weed out the believers from the gawkers (heh), and keep an eye on you.

I did not get to ride the dinosaur. Too many kids in matching…

I’ve been to the Creationist “Museum.” By and far the worst part is that it’s expensive as hell- $25 a pop back in 2007. Also, they want your info- name, address, etc, so they can keep sending you crap. I gave a fake name and address, but the process was a little unsettling. That, and the fact that I was scared to…

THANK YOU. Yes, Caitlyn Jenner is so proud of herself that she’ll still vote for politicians who call her trash because money. She is just like the rest of that awful family when it comes to the one thing that’s most important.

Everybody wants something they’ll never give up.

As a George Clooney fan, I have say Yay for George showing mad respect to his hometown and family.
As an Amal fan, I have to say Yay for a posh Brit stepping outside of her comfort zone for the hubs
And as a native Kentuckian, I would say go fuck yourself for making fun of the state, but we Kentuckians have too much…

She attends a private Catholic school and apparently buys pink socks on the reg. She can afford new shoes.

Amen. Black flats are not hard to find, and if you can afford sending your kid to a private Catholic school, you can afford a pair of new shoes. #teampublicschools

(I should add that I live a county over, and I know for a fact that Fairfax County has nice public schools. You chose a shitty Catholic school, you get…

My sister got cat-scratch fever- she developed a benign tumor in one of her eyes, and now has a blind spot. I personally think this is humanity’s price to pay for keeping mini semi-domesticated versions of the same animals that ate our ancestors. Team dog!

This was an interesting article. I would like to say more, but I’m not Nepalese, so that would be wrong. The article on Orthodox Jewish women not being allowed to drive was also interesting; again, I’m not Jewish, so that is all I can say. Ooooh, look, here’s an article highlighting how racist an apartment complex is.…

Shocking, an extreme faction of religion thinks women are dirty and immoral cause God. I’m just glad that the extreme elements of all the Abrahamic religions all hate each other, because holy hell, it would be scary as shit if they started working in tandem.

<looks up "The Briefcase> See, this is why I’m a pessimist: I’m always either pleasantly surprised, or proven right.

I am honestly surprised America did not do this first.

Can I ask you- why do you think the country is pro-life even though it’s largely atheist? I think that’s one of the harder concepts for Americans (especially this one) to grasp. Here, being atheist all but guarantees that you’re pro-choice. What grounds can one justify putting a woman through pregnancy against her…

Yeah, we’re getting a bit heated. Generally speaking, telling someone to go fuck themselves does that. Whatevs. Moving on.

Truth be told, my anger comes from sheer American frustration. I’m so so so tired of reading headlines about the great strides gay rights makes, while simultaneously reading about yet another…

Yo, my country has plenty of problems, but at least I own up to them, instead of responding with a false sense of “we’re free from the Church!” superiority. I fight for my reproductive rights because I don’t want to end up like YOUR country. And “go fuck myself”? Are you even allowed to say that, or will your…

Well anytime yall would like to prove us wrong and I dunno, give women control over their reproductive system, it’d be great. Till then yall still look pretty Catholic, and backwards.

This is not surprising, or news. They belong to a movement called “Quiverfull.” As in, a quiver full of arrows. Because you are creating a quiver full of them by creating so many children. Your children are weapons. It’s such a fucked up and damaged way to view the world and family, I just cannot even.

That’s hilarious! Viva la Boudicas!
