I’m neurotypical and I disregard ALL THE UNKNOWN CALLS.

My brain wants to make it soupçon, and then I’m like “Soupçon of what?”

Thanks. I was lucky. Four miscarriages and then two successful pregnancies. But I have a cousin who had a baby five years ago and none since. Any time I’m tempted to ask if they’re going to have more, I remember how painful it is, and how intrusive. If she wants to share with me, she will. If not, it’s none of…

While I was still bleeding from my second miscarriage, I ran into someone I hadn’t seen since my wedding. “No children?” he said, sounding awfully concerned. “When are you going to grow your family?” I tried to deflect and change the subject. He kept bringing it back. I eventually just walked away in tears. I’ve…

I almost like it better as a song that keeps getting interrupted.

I will be so happy if Darryl and White Josh get married. And, yes, I too miss Greg like whoa. Maybe if Rebecca gets her shit together they can give it another go after he’s done at Emory.

Maybe it’s because I know and am related to a lot of Trump supporters, but my ire lies firmly with them. I can spare a little bit of irritation for the Hillary haters who voted third party or stayed home. But it’s the Trump supporters, many of whom call themselves “fiscal conservatives” and “Christians”, that make…

I think The Sneeches is about racism, not the Holocaust, despite the presence of stars. The Sneeches with stars are the cool ones excluding the ones without, and then the ones without get stars, so then the ones with stars originally get rid of theirs, which leads to the ones that got stars getting rid of theirs, and…

A friend of mine from MA called Collins’ office and pointed out that she vacations in Maine several times a year, spending several thousand dollars. She suggested that she would be more than willing to spend a little bit of that money helping fund someone running against Collins. Whether it works, it at least…

I have a friend whose father is black and her mother is latina and native. My friend was raised by her maternal grandparents on a reservation. If you merely saw her and were asked to identify her race, you’d most likely say, “That lady is African-American”, based on the color of her skin, the texture of her hair,…

I think that, in theory, being President is the malignant narcissist’s dream job. You’re on TV and in the paper every day. People want your opinion on things. There’s a special song for you that has the words “Hail” and “Chief” in the title. People vote for you—it’s basically a big popularity contest. But in…

I remember someone on Twitter asking during the election if Trump thought he was running for President or King. I think we have our answer.

Yes, thank you! I was starting to feel like I was the crazy one because of his use of the word “groveling”. I’m glad to have some confirmation that it’s him and not me.

Please tell me that’s not ‘shopped. Because those are legit tiny.

I live in NH. I had a conversation with a state representative today who was very proud of himself for sponsoring a bill that would make it so that people who burned the American flag would be ineligible for benefits like food stamps, Medicaid, etc. He apparently feels that it’s “not unreasonable” to expect people…

A friend of mine who has lived in Alabama nearly her whole life texted me, a big, old Yankee, on the day Sessions was picked with “Sessions for AG. Y’all can have that motherfucker.”

As far as I can tell, nobody anywhere has been able to come up with a reason. Like, if you’re qualified to practice medicine, then you can receive Medicaid reimbursements. That seems to be the standard. So unless they can come up with a reason why PP on the whole should not be providing medical care to anyone, then…

IIRC, Medicaid rules require that all qualified providers be covered (assuming they will accept the low reimbursement rates). So, I think the reasoning has always been that the state can’t kick one provider out just because they don’t like them. Absent some medical reason why PP shouldn’t be covered, they have to…

It’s a little funny to think about the Pharisees in light of modern Christians. If you ask any Christian about the Pharisees, they’ll be happy to tell you that they’re villains in the Jesus story because they’re over there making arcane rules about petty nonsense while Jesus has arrived with a message from God about…

It’s going to be a really long 4 years if he has to make announcements any time a bunch of jobs are created. I mean, just in a normal month, the economy adds thousands of jobs. Is he going to take credit for every one? “And Levesque Bros. Construction in Augusta, ME added ten jobs thanks to my tremendous policies. …
