Never saw a fireman stand outside a burning building because they were too scared to go in. Maybe that’s why there aren’t any “fuck the fire department” songs.
my sister used to say 'boys are easier to raise than girls' and after her 17 year old son was admitted to a psych hospital, i realised the assumption of treating boys like they need less guidance through life is such a disservice to their mental and emotional health.
This is what it took me until my last year of grad school to realize. I’m still regularly overwhelmed by how much I don’t know, but I no longer suffer from the delusion that everyone else in my position knows 5x more than me.
Oh Holy Night has a verse that was intentionally left out in the 1800’s (and STILL today)
“Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is Love and His gospel is Peace.

@samdylanfinch I have never before, and this is not hyperbole, identified as strongly with anything as I do this.
...how do I fix it? It's eating my joy.
One time, I was at a Q&A with Nora Roberts, and someone asked her how to balance writing and kids, and she said that the key to juggling is to know that some of the balls you have in the air are made of plastic & some are made of glass.
Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.

In decent, lawful world, docs do not "experiment" on children held captive by the state
@JoeSondow @KDavidson925 Haha! Small world, I guess? Actually, world where cool people into the same cool things meet up at cool cons which make life infinitely better. That.
