Does my special needs daughter really eat lunch... →
I didn’t know how she would react to the offer (I could only think of how I would have responded to a similar proposal in my youth), but I asked her if she would like for Julie or myself to come to school and eat with her. She surprised me a little by saying yes immediately. As we continued our trip through the store, she asked me again a few times.
“Are you going to come eat...

From the article:
…And you know what? It’s not horrible. I don’t hate my life. In fact, sometimes I think I have it better than most American moms. I work on the evenings and weekends the kids are at their father’s place (a total of two weekends on four weekdays every month). They never even know I’m gone. Then when they are with me, I get to be a devoted ...

how dare you pass judgement on what is important to people and make it seem like to cry over a celebrity is a misplaced priority
how dare you make it seem like people are incapable of viewing both as tragedies within their own right to space and time within the global community
how dare you not let black people grieve over the loss of one our own

I always wondered why the symbol “ゆ” (said “yu”) was on the door to the bath house. I asked my Japanese teacher, and he wasn’t sure so I did a little research.
The symbol is used on the entrance to 温泉 (onsen) and 銭湯 (sento), or Japanese bath houses. The word “yu” is translated to “hot water”. So,...

The Arkh Project - Yes, I Have an Opinion
poemsofthedead:
You may or may not know of the interactions I’ve had with Riley, aka dumbthingswhitepplsay, the creator of The Arkh Project. To put it simply, we don’t really get on and I don’t follow them anymore. But I’ve been watching The Arkh Project from a distance from the beginning and I have some things to say.
Now let me preface this by saying I’m not a gamer and I don’t know much (it...

Tomorrow is the big day.
And by big day, I mean court. And by court, I mean a sham, a mockery of justice.
Unless the judge says otherwise, $280 (minimum) in tickets and a separate charge of $9,062 in damages.
If I show you my Paypal address, will you donate funds?

I just can't catch a break.
First, major tooth and gum issues, including pain and swelling. THEN, I get a bad cold. AND, just as the swelling is going down and the cold is clearing up, I get the heaviest period I’d had in months. AND, I’m due in court on Wednesday afternoon.
I need a do-over.

*proposed subtitle of all movies in the Indiana Jones & The Mummy franchises.
I’m watching The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (‘dragon’ because he’s Chinese, get it!?) & I can’t help but notice there would be less drama if these white folks would just leave stuff where it belongs.

It’s winter, the perfect time to hibernate, considering many of us might just want to be bears and just crawl into a cave and all we have to do is eat and sleep through winter without worries of homework and tests until spring. Or maybe that’s just me, but either way, hibernation requires fat to store energy so we don’t awake during our sleep. (Okay, that’s just another...

orvo asked: Re: Cynthia Nixon. She's just dumb as rocks, nothing weirder than that going on there. You can choose to be with a woman, but you can't choose whether you're attracted to her. I like strawberry pie too, but that wasn't a choice. I can choose whether I'm eating it or not though. I'm choosing to be a pie eater right now. If the world is so black and white to her that...

"I Chose to Be Gay" says Cynthia Nixon
So, THIS ARTICLE details what the controversy that surrounds Cynthia Nixon’s “choice” to be gay:
“I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line ‘I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better.’
“And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can...
