I Don't Understand the Tumblr & Other Stupid Shit

I'm a single mother with a teenager. Sometimes I'm ridiculous.

That moment you take two sleeping pills and have to down your wine so you can finish it before they kick in.

I hate you all. Wine is my only fren.

Try me, bitch.

Date someone who is home, comfort and adventure all at the same time. Life is too short to be with someone that doesn’t satisfy every part of you.

Strangely, I was getting more work done while we were texting than I have since you went to work. Now there's no reason to pretend I'm productive for my boss

Meet Brandon Dean, a 24-year-old mayor looking to change Brighton, Alabama, for the better

Brandon Dean isn’t your ordinary politician. The 24-year-old made history on Aug. 23 when he became the city of Brighton, Alabama’s newest mayor-elect. Dean defeated five candidates, which included incumbent mayor Barbara E. Watkins. He is the youngest mayor in Brighton’s history, according to the Birmingham Times.

“I knew we needed new leadership at city hall,” Dean said in an interview. “I knew we needed a new mayor, a new council. So I started looking for someone to run.”  It was a friend who made the suggestion to Dean to run for mayor of Brighton. But, he was hesitant at first.

Guys. I have a boyfriend. Who's fucking amazing.

A wee question for you sir. Why is it that your books are so expensive? I love your writings, they resonate somehow inside and now our kids are reading I want them to enjoy your work as well. We have a small library a few miles away but it's just not convenient with our lifestyles, I don't grudge your success of course, I just wish you were more accessible!

Expensive in what way? I try to make sure that publishers keep mass market paperbacks of the adult books in print – on Amazon they range from $6.47 to $8.99.  As for the Children’s books, Amazon sells Coraline for $3.94, and you can get Coraline and The Graveyard Book and Fortunately the Milk in a glorious Chris Riddell boxed set for $12.80 (http://bit.ly/ChrisRiddellBox). 

(Using Amazon here as it’s an easy place to check. I assume other online sellers are comparable.)

If you worry that the board books and picture books are too expensive (the cost of colour printing keeps them from being rock bottom) you can order them second hand: Chu’s Day is $6.03 as a board book new, $10.99 as a hardback, but there are used copies around from $4 (including postage).

(I’m not seeing other comparable board books, or children’s books selling more cheaply.)

Me trying to talk myself into not flirting back with you

1. I'm not the same girl from high school 2. I'm the worst housekeeper ever. 3. You live so far away. 4. I fight depression and anxiety. 5. I revel in my ADD. 6. I've been known to do recreational drugs, and probably wouldn't say no if offered again. 7. I drink too much. 8. My kid is awesome, but there's a lot to take on with a 15yo ftm. 9. Pretty sure you haven't dated anyone since your divorce. 10. I've gotten heavy. 11. You have a real job, a real degree; I'm a hairdresser with a spotty educational background. 12. I am obsessed with Sci fi, forensics, and supernatural tv shows. 13. I play casual video games. 14. I dress like an Austin lesbian circa 1998. (Shout out to you ladies!) 15. I've cheated in the past. 16. My last two relationships I was totally nutso in. 17. I live on peanut butter at two a.m. and cheese for lunch. 18. My sleep schedule is fucked. 19. I'm so bad at honesty. 20. I'm not going to live up to whoever you think I am. (Note: please, please ask me out. I'll say yes. I've wanted to say yes for twenty years.)

The reason I’m good at talking to people who are down on themselves is because I tell them everything I’ve wanted to be told myself.

In other words: representation f*cking matters. Michelle went on to name the one TV show that changed her world view as a child.

We admire hair when its on someone’s head but the second it is no longer attached to the head it becomes gross.

Amber Rose has the best response for why women should NEVER feel ashamed of demanding safe sex 

Amber Rose is simply not interested in your slut-shaming. The unapologetic social-media star doesn’t mince words when it comes to a woman’s right to own her sexuality. And you have to hear how passionately she defends the women in the audience.

The Equal Justice Initiative is building a memorial for lynching victims — and it’s about time.

The Equal Justice Initiative announced on Tuesday that it will build the first-ever national memorial to lynching victims in Montgomery, Alabama. Titled “Memorial to Peace and Justice,” the EJI project will sit on six acres of land that used to be a public housing project in Montgomery. 

The structure will include the thousands of lynching victims’ names on concrete columns, which will represent hundreds of U.S. counties where the acts took place. The memorial will also coincide with the opening of a museum.
