Yes. That's right.
B: Mommy, I am just angry and upset and mad at you.
Mommy: What? Why are you angry and upset at me?
B: And mad. I'm also mad at you.
Mommy: OK, so why are you angry and upset and mad at me?
B: Because you yell all the time and put me in time-out all the time and you cry like a baby all the time.
Mommy: What??? B! That is jacked up! Go put your pajamas on!
B: See? This is why I am angry and upset and mad at you. Sometimes, kids tell their mommies that they are angry and upset and mad and they don't have to go put their pajamas on. Sometimes, kids tell their mommies they are angry and upset and mad and their mommies let them stay up and watch, "How to Train Your Dragon."
Mommy: I'm sorry, but was this whole thing an attempt to stay up and watch a movie?
B: Exactly. That's what I said.
Mommy: You're manipulating me to watch "How to Train Your Dragon" past your bedtime?
B: Yes. That's right.

Conscious Living or Living Consciously
I’m so fucking sick of researching materials for this self esteem workshop. People can just walk around hating themselves the rest of their lives for all I goddamn care. I had no idea how much crap there was to read about “living consciously” or “living congruently” or “living purposefully” or “living experientially.” Holy shit, people.

fuckyeahexistentialism:
For Kierkegaard, there is a moment when the believer realizes that faith is not reasonable, logical, or scientific. Trying to defend faith actually proves the believer has doubts. Faith is a surrender to something beyond what can be known. That churches and religious zealots try to prove the…
“I’m sorry your feelings were hurt by my comments. No, wait. I’m not. Gay kids...”
– Dan Savage, in response to a letter.
I mean, it’s blunt, but seriously, he has a point. Read the letter and his response. I’ve always hatred the I-don’t-hate-gay-people-I-just-hate-homosexuality attitude this woman has.

Court Exempts Corporations from Alien Tort Law →
(frustrated sigh over my own lack of surprise)
headphonesnotrequired:
A federal appeals court has ruled US corporations can no longer be sued for human rights violations abroad under the longstanding Alien Tort Statute. Earlier this month, the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Alien tort claims can only be brought against individuals, not corporations. The ruling dismissed a...

"I'm in the middle of something."
Me: Hey, it's 8:30, I thought you were going to call me back earlier.
Honey: Yeah, well, I got stuck doing some stuff, I'm sorry.
Me: OK. I just gave the kids a bath and put EB to bed. So what are you doing now?
Honey: Laying down. Can I call you back?
Me: Ummm... no, what the fuck? Why do you need to call me back?
Honey: I'm in the middle of something.
Me: In the middle of something? What are you doing? Jerking off?
Honey: (muffled laugh) No, I'm not jerking off.
Me: So what are you doing?
Honey: Nothing, I just, I'm in the emergency room. I cut my head and am waiting on some stitches. I didn't want you to worry.
Me: Bullshit. Are you jerking off? Or are you really in the hospital?
Honey: No, I really cut my head. I just didn't want you to worry.
Me: You cut your head? What the fuck were you doing? What hospital are you in? How bad is it? Were you at work? Were you by yourself?
Honey: I don't know what happened, I can't remember. It's not that big of a deal.
Me: What? Not a big deal? Jesus Christ... you're in the emergency room and you don't know what happened or how you got there?
Honey: I'm waiting for Trey (his co-worker) to get back to tell me what happened. I think he left to get a beer or something.
Me: Are you fucking kidding me? Put the nurse on the phone.
Honey: There's nobody in here.
Me: So push the fucking button and get somebody in there.
Honey: I can't find the button.
Me: Find the fucking button and get the nurse on the phone.
Honey: (shuffling around for the nurse's call button)
Nurse: Can I help you, Sir?
Honey: Can you come in here and talk to my wife?
- brief silence
Nurse: This is Rhonda.
Me: Yes, Ma'am, my husband says he's in the emergency room, but he doesn't know which one and he isn't sure what happened. Can you please elaborate on that for me?
Nurse: Yes, Ma'am, he's here at the CS Medical Center emergency room in Room 4. He has about a 7 cm laceration on the back of his head. Looks like he fell backward and hit something. We've stabilized him with a back board and a neck brace while we wait for the CT Scan results.
Me: Ummm... OK. So is it safe to say he won't be going to work tomorrow and I should be driving to come and pick him up?
Nurse: Yes, probably, he's going to have a really bad headache and need to rest.
- muffled noise
Nurse: (laughing) He says you don't need to come down here, he's fine, and he doesn't want you to worry. I'll let you two talk about it.
Me: That's fine, thank you.
Honey: You don't need to come, it's not that big of a deal. They'll stitch me up and I'll go to work tomorrow... it's fine.
Me: You seriously have something wrong with you. You tell Trey to call me the minute that fucker walks back in that room. Jesus Christ.
- ten minutes later
Me: Hello?
Trey: Hey, it's Trey.
Me: What happened?
Trey: Weelllll... we were working on his BBQ pit trailer after work, and he was walking across it and slipped and fell back and hit his head on the steel. I brought him to the hospital, and he's fine. The doctor said all the test results are fine and they're about to staple up his head.
Me: OK, so he's not going to be able to work tomorrow, right? I mean, he can't even remember what happened.
Trey: Nah, he'll have a headache, but he'll be alright.
Me: Yeah, well, tell him to call me after he's discharged.
Trey: Yes, Ma'am, will do.
- hanging up the phone
Me: (muttering incredulously to myself) Fucking jackasses.
"Privileged" is not an insult

Just a thought I had and wanted to share before I get to work and stay away from tumblr for the rest of the day. (Yeah, right! Like that’s actually going to happen!)
When somebody tells you you benefit from white/male/whatever privilege, it’s not an insult and it’s not an attack. It’s not something that you have to deny or try to offset by going out of your way to show ways in...

Hey! Santa Claus! Come talk to me!
When Honey takes B to the park with the crazy dog, he refuses to keep her on a leash. You know, how can you reconcile something as trivial as a city leash law with a chocolate lab’s need to run free and harass every person or fellow canine within a hundred yard radius?
Recently, some old man in the neighborhood has taken to scolding Honey over not keeping the dog on a leash. Apparently,...
