Trans rights are human rights. Trans, non-binary and 2Spirit survivors of stalking matter to us. And should matter to you, too! We vehemently reject the notion that trans people are a threat to women and girls and we object, with our full chests, the latest round of transphobic rhetoric in Canada.

The people who made a world that despises children are blaming their children for choosing not to bring children into a world that despises children.

I mean with hard-hitting journalism investigating mysteries of life why are they losing subscribers?

When your senior cat can't jump up on the bed anymore, you lower the bed by removing the frame and putting the box spring on the floor. I know I'm going to hurt myself getting in or out of this thing in the middle of the night. Will she appreciate this sacrifice? Nooooo.

You wouldn't hire a plumber who said your pipes should be dismantled. Stop electing people to Congress who say that about the government.

quote post this with a really foolish injury: While running a trail race I came upon a patch of mud that was too wide to jump over so I thought "I'll walk through it". First step in, I slipped, fell forward, and dislocated and fractured my left shoulder, requiring surgery (the "ORIF").

I broke my finger when a drawer fell on it as I was trying to catch a baby rat that had escaped its cage on top of my daughter’s dresser and fallen into her sock drawer. Yes, that daughter.
