So, in her life, my mom has gone through some shit. Sometimes, she’s not the most reliable narrator, but she tells this memory so consistently and with such emotion, that I believe her. She grew up in the late seventies, and eighties. My grandma was (still is tbh) a disaster. Grandma was part of the California

Reposting my tale of my almost-murder from last year.

Right before I turned 21 I moved to a new city, transferred colleges, and got an apartment by myself. I picked a place out on the third story of a rambling old Victorian mansion - a modest studio with white metal cabinets from the 1950's and a rusted fire escape which always gave me bad feelings. It was metal, and

Did the fact that every episode was written by the same MAN who also created the show not make a difference at all?

This won’t be a popular opinion, but I have to be honest. Maybe it’s not cognitive dissonance? Maybe they just changed? People can change - thank the gods.

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would

The Koch brothers have infinite money and seem intelligent, why do they really give a fuck? Can’t they just roll around and jerk off in their money and stop actively trying to hurt the world that we will have to continue living on after they die within the next 10-20 years?

You are correct. It makes no sense. I cringe at the thought of this character being responsible for another life. Poor fake tee vee baby, nooooooooo.

Hannah, I’m disappointed in the clickbait title. Claiming these agencies “did not present evidence” is not merely misleading but untrue. You are spreading same sort of misinformation that drives clicks for conspiracy bloggers and Fox News.

Really? Hillary didn’t have periods? She didn’t walk down streets as a young woman? She didn’t have to think about when to have kids, or control her fertility? She didn’t have to worry about whether or not she was spending enough time with her kid as a working mom? Whether her husband’s actions were reflective of her?

It seems like coworkers getting in touch with their inner Abigail Williams were the real problem at that job.

The house where I grew up was pretty new - way newer than any of the other houses on the block. A typical one-story ranch house that you might see in any stretch of American suburbia. Likewise, all the furniture in the house was pretty par for the course. My room had a little-kid bed, a nightstand, a table and chairs

That sucks- as om that your abusive dad would haunt you, not the story itself.

In high school I did community theater in an old building on our town square that had probably been there 100+ years, but had clearly been renovated. In the back of the building was a small costume room - it was a long, narrow room, like an extra-long closet, with a door on either end, stuffed full of clothing from

I don’t mind that she maintains silence on Tom Cruise, that’s the father of her child (not sure if he is even involved in her life?). But, given he is such a high profile representative of Scientology, I really want her to tear that shit down.

Yea I think she won’t be saying many negative things to the public about tom or Scientology. Which... Sucks for my entertainment purposes but it’s probably best for Suri. Sigh... The children. We must think of the children!!

It was a gift to us all.

Ummm... Hook is AWESOME and awesome on an additional level once you are a parent. I just rewatched it last year, so I’m not talking out my ass here. It is fun, pretty, and heartfelt. It is a goddamn treasure.

THE CUTTING EDGE! God, so good. That’s one of my all-time favorite me-and-mom it’s-on-tv-let’s-watch-it-! flicks! (“Always comes back the big B: what a bitch!”)
