Escaped Abusive Relationship: Thanks, Abortion! →
When I was 19 I got pregnant by my abusive boyfriend, whom I was in the process of trying to leave. We had been together for about 2 years and in that time frame he had destroyed my life, my relationship with my family, my credit, and my self-esteem. He knew how to control me and he used whatever leverage he had to keep me under his thumb. Once I was finally able to escape him (literally –...

broadist: you look great! have you lost weight? →
broadist:
ATTN: “You look great! Have you lost weight?” is not a compliment. I know it has been the go-to praise-route towards many women since the inception of puberty, but I’d like to put an end to it. Why do I hear this like a broken record every holiday?
Some alternatives:
You look great! How are your new jobs going?
You look great! How is your blog doing?
You look great! Things seem to...

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art room, I said:...

Reasons to say 'fuck you' to the Salvation Army. →

strawberryfaerie:
“The Salvation Army has refused assistance to gay couples unless they break up and “go straight”, Muslim families who refuse to attend “Christian Bible classes”, kids who can’t prove their immigration status, and more.”
Admittedly, i only skimmed the article, but this quote alone should give you a pretty good idea of how awful they are.
EDIT: I also just...

Send me a number and I’ll tell you my unpopular opinion.
1. A selection of television programs you do not care for. 2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for. 3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about. 4. A hobby you “don’t get”. 5. A habit you find disgusting. 6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over....

Fantasy In Miniature: Save Your Breath →
fantasyinminiature:
Rage.
Sing not to me, oh Muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus. Sing not of the rage of the one who brought so much misfortune upon the Achaeans, hastening so many souls down to Hades, offering up so much prey to dogs and vultures. Sing not a word of how the dire wrath within Achilles grew. Sing not one note about the anger of the god-born killer, doomed to die.

It's in the mid-30s and raining, not snowing.
There isn’t even any snow on the ground to speak of. It is looking way more like a Texas winter out there than a Minnesota one.
I’m not saying I do control the weather, but if I did…

Atole de Arroz
I made rice pudding for breakfast. This of course led to eating entirely too much rice pudding. Nom nom nom. I regret nothing!
Atole de Arroz (I use the South Texas Mexican Cook Book- which is good, but she always puts too much salt in everything- because my mom doesn’t cook much and my grandma passed away before I was old enough to learn to cook from her and, even though it always turns...

Prop 8 got overturned! [Edit: No it didn't.] →
[Okay, so parts of the internet got too excited, and I fell for it. Dammit. The Suck it, Perry hashtag remains, though.]
So excited!
“Although Proposition 8 fails to possess even a rational basis, the evidence presented at trial shows that gays and lesbians are the type of minority strict scrutiny was designed to protect,” Walker ruled.

If this actually happens, I will literally die of happiness. As in, I will actually expire, and then be resurrected out of sheer joy.
On a side note, I wonder if they’ll also do the books as well as crime-a-week deals.
