Hola. I'm Katelyn. I like pizza and puppies.

Honey, I think you're kind of missing the point. – No, I'm not. You're going to adopt Meredith. That is so sweet, Dad.

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS

Teaching creative writing to 8 to 12 year olds this summer, a demographic whose stories include a shocking amount of murder. The use of "unalive" was so egregious I had to tell them, "if you aren't comfortable using the words death, die, and kill, you aren't mature enough to be writing about them yet". Kiddo asked me if that applies to adults as well, and I told them it very much does, so here's a PSA.

If you aren't comfortable using the words death, die, and kill, you aren't mature enough to be writing about them yet.

why isn’t anyone allowed to be wrong anymore? it’s okay to be wrong. being wrong, and realizing you were wrong, is how you learn and grow.

how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”

[literallyaflame]

pardon me, i should clarify. you wouldn’t say that, assuming that you aren’t a total dipshit. i would not say that either. some people, however, hate children and firmly believe that everyone should be miserable unless they’re at church

[literallyaflame]

several of you pointed out that, often, conservative christians want you to be especially miserable at church. so true. grave oversight on my part

[bug-mp3]

they should make it easier

[mommy-mortis]

what?

[bug-mp3]

Everything. All of it

Always funny when someone has a default angry response to criticism they get so used to using they just automatically fire it off at the most inappropriate time.

friend is explaining me the american healthcare system. WALK IN CLINICS COST MONEY??????

[ranidspace]

[ranidspace]

AMBULANCE RIDES COST MONEY??????

[ignotussomnium]

Yup! When I got sick in college and didn't have insurance the ambulance alone cost $900.

[because-im-freaking-greed]

Regularly scheduled checkups cost money

[whowantstobeaphd]

Literally every aspect of medical checks cost money. You were in a car crash? Money. You have cancer? Money. You want to make sure you don't have cancer? Money. You want insulin? TONS OF MONEY. prescriptions are so expensive, I got birth control when I was 15 and it was $350 a month.

Emergency health is probably the most expensive type of health care. I've rejected every abluance because it would be at least $100.

Now that I live in Scotland, everything is free (unless I go private). My monthly meds are free, if I have a rash it's free, if I need surgery it's free.

Americans really just don't get how bad it is.

Emergency and they fail to save you? It costs your family money. When my aunt got billed for the ER visit for her 17 year old son who was no longer alive I felt nauseous.
