CATALINA IS HOME!!! She arrived yesterday and home care has been going wonderfully. She was originally scheduled to be discharged on the 10th but her night oximetry test had a bad result, so her oxygen needed to be adjusted and her retest went okay. Anyway, she’s here and doesn’t seem to be very stressed out about the…
People who are oppressed are already stressed out and unhappy most of the time
People who are oppressed are already stressed out and unhappy most of the time. That’s the point. If people are telling you where you can go, what you can do and what you can say, there are very few opportunities to take a break and usually no way to be “away” from stressors. Especially when most entertainment either…
Older white guy here... I think there were always politics in everything. It’s just that it was a dominant group consensus politics. So, comic books had lantern-jawed straight white “heroes” stopping “villains” who were robbing banks... in other words, the “good guys” protected business. That’s politics!
Only people privileged enough to not have politics effect the way they live their lives have the luxury of trying to ignore it. In order to acknowledge your privilege, you need to not ignore it anymore. People have been ignoring politics for so long that a reality TV game show host was elected president, fed by an…
It kills me that H. Hefner is so revered for being some kind of pioneer of the sexual revolution.. he was a pioneer of a sexual revolution predominantly centred around the male gaze & fantasy, which is hardly revolutionary and has played a major hand in getting us to where we find ourselves today, which is not exactly…
This girl is coming home!!!! The insurance company approved home care for her, we’ve already met with a representative from the company that will supply her care, and it should be two more weeks until we’re out of the hospital. All the staff needs to go meet her first and learn her current schedule and preferences,…
Catalina should be coming home sometime in the next month. She’s officially not receiving any care other than her CPAP and encouraging oral feedings, so the doctor said she can get home care for a couple months. We’re now arranging things with the insurance company.
I just found out I’m pregnant. My husband is out of town camping with the kids. I’m freaked out. Like happy, but I’m four years post repeat loss and never thought I’d be doing this again. Aaaaah!
It’s too fast for me to put my pants on
“Trumpism is an easygoing belief system that indulges and excuses the stiffing of contractors, the conning of students, the bilking of investors, the exploitation of women and the practices of nepotism and self-dealing. A faith that makes losing a sin will make cheating a sacrament.”
I was raised in such a household. The bullshit organizations like Focus on the Family feed children & teens through publications geared toward them is nauseating. I remember I had a “teen Bible” and instead of letting you make up your own mind by reading the Bible yourself, it had little “features” sprinkled…
one addition:
Polish-American with dual citizenship and essentially binational upbringing here. I just want to say that the extent to which Poland’s government has gone to lick the boots of Trump on his visit brings me endless, endless shame, and I assure you that most Poles think of Trump as a clown. It’s worth mentioning that the…
How come women can’t go sleeveless when Paul Ryan is allowed to go spineless?
I agree that while ff7 may not be the best ff saying it is overrated is like being the hipster of video games we get it its popular and its not for you but saying its overrated is a bad way to put it
I feel deeply vindicated. FF9 ties with FF6 in my head for all time favorites in the series, but FF6 gets the proper amount of love while FF9 was largely ignored for a long time.
Well, IX is the best one so he’s right.
Wow. Kingdom Hearts counted to 3 before Valve did. Considering they literally made several titles with the IP using decimals, I am mildly shocked.
