Sunday Snippets: All the Things edition

Combined with my job needing more attention starting at the end of January and then every single weekend in April being booked, I'm ready for a nap. If all prevails, I will have downtime again starting in July. Oof.

Right, about that post racial America? Reading Shanesha Taylor's story broke my heart into pieces. But there is some good news.

To file under adorable I love puppies.

Shut up and take my money There may have been a time sophomore year of college where I skipped an evening class to watch this movie. And then proceeded to sob like a two year old.

Sobbing. So beautiful to read, but bring the tissues.

Beautiful artwork to remember a beautiful man I read Love in the Time of Cholera when I spent three weeks in Prague. I loved that book.

Can't wait to read her book

An appreciated honest approach to spawning tiny ones

I can't tell you whether having kids will be worth it for you. And that whole, "We are waiting until we're ready" thing? Right. You are never ready for this. When the tiny human cometh, all bets are off. And from then on, the question is never again whether or not it's worth it. The question is how you make it worth it for them.

This is disgusting (TW) I have been reading on this case as soon as Cecily McMillan came forward. Utterly awful.

Welp, somebody better tell my partner this I've been doing it all wrong.

Since a woman prefers to marry a man who makes more money than she does, Schlafly argued, decreasing the gender pay gap would leave women unable to secure a husband.

Sunday Snippets: SPRING!

Thank goodness!


Cherry Blossoms last Sunday and the weather since has just been glorious. I didn't realize how much I missed driving with the windows down.





"Quite frankly, I would've said, 'C-section before the season starts,' " former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason said Tuesday on his daily morning radio show, Boomer and Carton, according to Today.com. "[I'd say] 'I need to be at opening day. 

Wow, what an asshole.

Sunday Snippets: Oh, there's snow again edition

How marvelous. I'm going to go cry into wine.

Truth about cats and Part II

(TW) Completely awful

Relatives say the two women went to Galveston for Mardi Gras. Detectives believe they were killed elsewhere and their bodies moved. Reports also indicate that they were murdered in different ways. It’s currently unclear whether this was a hate crime or there was some other motive for the murder. “That was her girlfriend, that was her soulmate,” James Randle, neighbor to Britney Cosby, told ABC.

Who in the what thought this was a good idea? Me, shuddering in the corner


As same-sex couples marry, they will be forced to re-imagine many tenets of your “traditional marriage.” In doing so, they will face a series of complicated questions: Should one of us change our last name? And if so, who? Should we have kids? Do we want to have kids? How do we want to have kids? Whose last name do our kids take?

LOL-They are hysterical


I was talking about Occupy Wall Street, which kind of gave us elements of activism. But we are not in a 99 percent world. We are in a world with serious class complexes. It is one thing to be a college student with loan debts and another thing to be just dirt poor for your entire life.




That means moving away from the incremental strategy – 20 week bans, admitting privileges laws for clinics – and sticking to banning all abortion without exceptions, equating hormonal birth control (even the daily pill kind) with abortion, and advocating that women who have abortions be tried as murderers.


Venezuela’s soldiers are killing their people. The Government is sending their armed gangs to kill them and they have censored all the media in their country, even blocking photos posted on social media sites. They shut down all the cable channels that broadcast news, so they can’t know what’s going on. The people have no source of protection at all.
