Seems like we’re heading full steam towards a repeat of 2016. Democrats are rallying around their preferred primary candidates and shitting all over the ones they don’t support. Whoever gets the nomination, I think we’re going to see a bunch of supporters of the other candidates staying home on election day, voting…

I learned the word nom de plume from Aladdin and expectorating from Beauty and the Beast. And then used them regularly in elementary school. I wasn’t a nerd with a superiority complex at all...

Any little step counts and frankly there’s nothing wrong with making people feel welcome. Men in the United States are generally not expected to take much interest in raising their children beyond providing for the family and being the “fun” parent. 

The Carters are expecting. Congratulations, Carters!

I actually added a lesson last year to the composition and rhetoric class that I teach on the world “believe.” I did it for just this very reason. We talk about how the sentences “I don’t believe in vaccines” and “I don’t believe in Santa Claus” or “I don’t believe in eating meat on Fridays” are fundamentally…

There’s a program but few people who do work in public service for ten years end up qualifying because of hoops like having the wrong types of student loans or being on the wrong payment plan or paperwork issues or consolidating your student loans resetting the ten year time line. Even paying ahead on your loans will…

I like the idea of mandatory public service, but it is yet another well meaning proposal which forgets that this would cause undue hardship for some people who can least afford it.

Yeah, it’s not a great solution as is. From my experience (for whatever that’s worth), a few of my peers from law school got a job as public defenders to try and take advantage of the program and almost all of them burned out after a few years and were stuck with experience in only criminal law but now realizing that…

that a Man is more right to rule simply because of his gender

YOU ARE SO COMPLETELY WRONG I CANT EVEN STAND IT!!!!!

I’d rather eat fondant than grocery store cakes. They all have shortening in their frostings which tastes like sweet plastic.

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

Girl. No. This is a bad take and you should feel bad about it.

Is it possible your husband ruined it for you with his attitude?  My ex made me hate things I loved by ridiculing me/them.  

Looks like she’s wearing it on the wrong finger, but god do I love a bezel set ring! No prongs to break or worry about, or get caught on things. Bezel settings for the win. If you have a ring with prongs, you can find a jeweler to re-set your stone(s) into a bezel setting, and you’ll never look back... So much easier…

I posted this down thread a bit, but my fiance loads the dishwasher in an absolutely abhorrent way that I’ve tried to get him to change several times over the last 8 years of our relationship (lol); he places the glasses on top of the spires instead of between them so they jiggle everywhere and hit each other, and…

Sorry, I live under a rock and only know his music. Is there something wrong with Travis Scott, apart from an apparent disdain of condoms? The way people are railing against him in the comments seems to me like either racism (like really shitting on his vernacular, but he’s a rapper—first of all, rappers generally have…

That’s the smile of someone who’s ashamed of their teeth.

My gf and I play it for each other regularly and howl with laughter. It says ( in chavvy British accent) “uh, hi *mispronounces my name*, it’s Jamie... you looked hot tonight.”

There is no world in which I would see body hair as a good thing. I even think men’s pits are gross. Like...ugh ew pit hair has the texture of pubes (which I also remove) and has no aesthetic value whatsoever and collects sweat and deodorant dingleberries. Ugh.
