too many people want to have kids but don't want to parent
some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.

My go-to for air travel is usually khakis, a Simon Cowell-style black T-shirt, and black dress slip-ons.
Less to “dress nicely“, more to get on and off in security more easily.
I am perplexed at those who go barefoot on planes—not because it’s uncouth or savage,but because floors are already icky.

What we need right now is a holistic, systematic rebuke of current Trumpian ideology & strategy : its betrayal of moral truth, humanity in general, & American ideals; its foundation in cowardly fear, racism, xenophobia & hate; its fraudulence, corruption; its foundation in lies.

Ashamed to say I'd never had sweet potato pie before today.
Tried three today: the well-known Patti LaBelle pie from Wal-Mart, a recipe that viewers suggested I make at home, and a slice from Denver's famous Welton Street Cafe.
(You're dismissed now, pumpkin pie. We're done.)

I'm less naive about universities' sense of responsibility to their students than a few years ago, but it still feels like a gut-punch to read "no comment" where it should say, "Ms. López is a valued member of our campus community. She should be here, and we vigorously oppose her deportation."

True, but dictatorships are made from a lot of things.
The same tyrants that feed off the “hungry” and “desperate”, also feeds off the comfortable, decadent, and narcissistic.
America right now is far more the latter than the former.
We chose Trump not because we were deprived, but bored.
