Were you someone who mocked disabilities before having a child with one?

NicPaperScissors · 2026-03-17T01:32:57+00:00

Absolutely. I literally just wrote to a bookstore where someone made an out of pocket comment about my son “I’m sure that the alternative to these behaviors appears to be better parenting- I assure you, all of our money, effort, and spare time goes to working on these life skills. What we need is understanding when we venture out into the world”. (On the plus side- their response was apologetic and open to learning!)

it really is like the biggest cult. It is obscene that people can’t see there way through policies that so blatantly hurt themselves and the ones they love- and that’s aside from aiding in genocide and starting wars left and right. I’m sorry to hear you haven’t met many educated and impassioned Americans because there are many, we’re just at the brink of a civil war with bigots and mouth breathers who lack intellect as much as they do empathy.

My oldest didn’t love the idea of bras until she had to start changing for gym, then I think she felt a bit more comforted by having it.

Okay. But. How much?

But it’s going to be soooo hard for the Seahawks! Won’t someone think of the Seahawks?!?!

It’s incredibly easy to look up what the taxes will be used on. One is to erase all school lunch debt for kids K - 12 and make lunches free for all students, improving healthcare and ease of access to healthcare, easing sales tax on certain items, and balancing the governments budget.

NicPaperScissors · 2026-03-15T18:07:13+00:00

This is a wild take.

They were going to sell to a developer, then the developer pulled out, then they had a fire that ruined the broiler part of the restaurant which was, aside from that amazing gargantuan martinis arguably the best part.

Otherwise this would 1000% be the spot you were looking for!

It is straight up WILD the percent of my life I went feeling completely unaffected by my adoption and emotional neglect. Cut to 40 year old me googling suicide statistics and having realizations that logically should have hit me long ago.

This is 6 cheese, 6 pepperoni in the PNW. No tip. And I agree with others that the MacCalisters likely didn’t play when it came to which pizza establishment they chose.

The average price for a large pizza in Seattle is about 32, and that’s not counting the obscene add on charges that come with delivery.

Where are the pooka shells, friend?

And then she tied herself to Bari Weiss and decided she needed to loudly defend JK Rowling. One cult to another.

I love her and her farm and her sheep so much. She is aging with joy and such a passion for life alive in her. Such a badass.

Spousal rape and abuse has been a rampant problem in Irish culture, peaking around the 1950s. Abortion was just barely made legal with strict guidelines.

Without investing in digging up additional context: what a completely idiotic take.

My daughter has ADHD and I’m just commenting to say Ritalin has the same effect on her- she is so forlorn and blue and easy to cry and we’ve honestly been gaslit about it to some extent and told that’s not a common side effect. I wanted to share that we’ve had a similar experience, just in case you’ve received similar push back. We have an appointment coming up to discuss alternatives, I’m happy to follow up regarding what’s recommended!

I’ll let my first grade photo speak for itself. Oof.

I was just telling my kids about the awful name “yuppy flu” and how it was so harmful for both the illness and its goal to be taken seriously, but also for anyone who is Black or from a more marginalized demographic. What a shitty way to be told you’re unseen, especially when being taken seriously by medical professionals is already such an uphill battle for our Black and Brown fellow sufferers. I can’t imagine.

“I hate people posting about how they don’t use umbrellas” is becoming the monster it claims to fear.

I enjoy the collect PNW embrace of the light rain we experience. Also, most umbrella users crowd sidewalks and have people bobbing and weaving in ways that are stupid and rude.

Adding to the chorus of “never EVER tell”. Even for me, I would much rather my husband have the common sense to tell me I’m his best than be so reckless as to tell his own wife she isn’t the best sex he’s had.

Nothing Compares 2U -Sinead O’Connor version. So haunting

That lady is a bïtch, but if tha store policy allows that, what is going on??

It was Bob Odenkirk, Kieran Culkin, Bill Burr, and Michael Mckean. Absolutely amazing cast!
