The point of saying Happy Holidays is not to...
I wish some people would realize this. Or maybe they do realize it, but they just don’t care?

You know that horrifying moment when you realise...

And then how screwed you are?

Republicans are willing to raise taxes on more than 100 million Americans
… to spare 345,000 millionaires from a tiny surtax.
Something doesn’t add up.

Get an abortion, you’re a murderer. Have a baby and do your best to care for it despite having limited means to do so, you’re a slutty welfare queen. Nobody wins.

“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don’t argue when a women...

“At my new job, we have a mega church down the street, so I keep my leanings to myself for practical reasons. One day, not long after I started, a gentleman came in looking for the owner of the art gallery across from us. He noticed my name tag and noted that I had Christ in my name. He asked me if I were ‘Christ’ like and followed Christ. Because having Christ in your name...

PowerPoint project on feminist and LGBTQ therapy...
Haven’t done any of it.
Don’t want to do any of it.
Will probably do all of it on Wednesday night.
I’m trying to work on it now BUT I REALLY JUST WANT TO WATCH DEXTER AND HOMELAND INSTEAD.
Well, actually I’ve finished one slide. It says, “Feminist and LGBT therapy” and then under it, my name.
That’s a start.

In a state that is near the top of the national chart in food insecurity, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) took time this holiday to pass out Thanksgiving dinner to about 1,000 families at a shelter in East Naples.

Every year for Christmas I make a ton of cookies and give them out to my friends, family, neighbors, etc.
My great-aunt, who will be 92 in March, always helps and looks forward to it a lot because she loves to bake and only comes here once a year for Christmas (she lives in Connecticut by herself).
So, my mom talked to her and apparently she is really excited about baking cookies this year...

(I work at a movie rental store. Sometimes we have deaf customers. I know some conversational ASL and can usually communicate with the deaf community just fine. A woman and her daughter walk up with a note and place it on the counter and point to it repeatedly.) Note: “We’re looking for two movies that came out last Tuesday.” Me: *in ASL* “Hello, yes, what movies?” Customer, to...
