Paris is Burning is a must see. it's an emotional rollercoaster but in the end it's about persevering as a community through the dark early days of the HIV and AIDS pandemic.

Sara B. was the first writer on this mommyblog that made me cry (at work, no less!). And now? I cry again. Thank you.

Grace, utterly relaxed at her place in the window this morning.

She always hears us, so she staggered to her feet and greeted me with a huge yawn.

I would love when things aren't gay or straight, black or white, male vs female, KKKRISTIAN vs everything else sane.

I'm sick of this shit. I'm fucking 66 years old, and I have to still protect a woman's right to choose. I want to punch almost every Republican right in the throat. With votes*

In the meantime, my husband is currently spraying me like you would do to a cat..

I'm so not calm. xx

They (the instructors) told us the same thing about massage therapy, and not to be surprised if we (or our clients) suddenly started crying, or had panic attacks, or laughing.

Him: Avast! Are you in the mood for an adventure?

Me: Want to wake up wiv a crahd arouhnd ya?

He gave up immediately and I continued to the pub.

- The non-partisan group Political Polls shared a new general election poll Friday afternoon with a curious finding: Biden led Trump 45 percent to 44 percent post-debate. The previous poll "was a tie," the group noted on social media.

Hopefully the upcoming Fox poll will prove disloyal as well.

See, that's why they should have an audience at the debate. Then they could hear first-hand when normal people jeer and boo Trump when he acts like an asshole. Then the press wouldn't get so full of itself.

Don'tBlameTheDog's avatar

Course he's pretty much asshole all the time so they gonna be doing a whole lot of jeering and booing. That sounds fun. I'd go to that!

If he's a sniveling little bitch now -

Raw Story: Trump unhappy he's not getting enough praise for his 'fantastic' debate performance

- wait till the polls come out. Early indications are that America already knew Joe is old. How could we have missed it with the constant refrain from trump's loyal MSM?

The danger of setting low expectations I suppose.
