oh dear god everyone run and hide from this comment section like your lives depend on it

“[Curiel’s] somebody, he’s proud of his heritage. And I think that’s great that he’s proud of his heritage. … You know, we have to stop being so politically correct in this country. And we need a little more common sense, John. And I’m not blaming. I’m proud of my heritage, we’re all proud of our heritage. But I want…

Yep. That quote from the judge -

Fuck’s SAKE.

Wow. Her statement is so incredibly eloquent and spot -on. I really hope that she will find some sort of peace.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

“I’m full of gratitude. From now on, I’m going to take better care of him as he grows up,” Yamato’s father, Takayuki Tanooka, 44, said in comments on NHK, the national broadcaster

And for the low, low price of “HE COULD HAVE DIED ALONE IN THE FOREST”!

Goddamnit, mommy feels. Can’t believe his parents drove that far away from him to “teach him a lesson”, but at least they felt reeeeal bad about it for a while.

I’m 4 months pregnant right now and I’m pretty sure I’ll be using CIO. And I doubt I’ll be co-sleeping with my baby once it is born, since I’m an autopsy tech at the medical examiner’s office and we see A LOT of cases of “SIDS” that turn out to be accidental smothering as a result of co-sleeping.

I’d invite you to my Facebook feed, where super-moms chat AT LENGTH about the wraps they have for baby-wearing. They also discuss the horrifying monsters who put their babies in cribs, which is exactly what Hitler would have done if Hitler were a terrible mother and not a dictator.

I’m not a parent, but damn I had no idea “cry it out” was so controversial! My sister does it with her kids, and that’s always what people told me when I was a babysitter back in the day! The more you know, I guess.

Cry it out FTW. It took one night for each kid and then they slept fine. No regrets.

RIP the comments section. My son is almost one so I’m just now wading into the mommy wars, but the biggest one by far has been how to handle sleep issues.

I really hate sanctimommies that insist sleep training is abuse. Do whatever you are comfortable with but don’t couch it in terms that demean others’ parenting or diminishes real abuse.

There is a protest of sorts going on against gun violence—I believe it’s Coalition to End Gun Violence. They are asking people to wear orange today. Perhaps that’s the reason for her orange blouse.

The narratives that have built up about Clinton being a terrible campaigner and Trump being a political genius are going to change now that we’re (almost)into the general election. She’s going to destroy him, and I’m going to love watching it.

Brilliant. Clinton is so much better than she’s given credit for. She’s intelligent, thoughtful, and experienced. She’s made mistakes, but so have we all. Plus, she’s learned from them, which unfortunately cannot be said for Trump.
