At least you didn't listen to it, GC. That (and being very very late for work and stuck in traffic on Sherman Way) set me off. The Science Daily piece is a nice antidote!

The status is NOT quo.
Did any of you hear NPR's story about the biological superiority of early motherhood and the nascence of stay-at-home moms? For obvious reasons it touched a nerve with me.I can't even read that. It's going to upset me too much, I can tell.

Of course, I get pissed when someone takes too long in the bathroom, so what do I know.
Dude. Seriously. If I had to share a bathroom, the seething would turn to loathing would turn to ulcers would turn to aneurysms and eventually end in bloodshed or at very least me holding someone's head in a dirty toilet and shrieking about stewing them in their own filth while the rest of the building calls 911.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's her reason for being late? As long as it's not stupid, I say it's good that she called. Shit happens.
She didn't give a reason on the phone, so I'm going to assume it was just shit happens, which I do understand. Although, when I interviewed here, I spent like a half-hour sitting on a bench outside because I was so early!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But what I think she's trying to do there is put fear in the minds of Democrats everywhere that if you put a black man up there the working class whites are going to fuck you. It's not race baiting, exactly
No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
Yeah, okay. Instead of hinting at the scary black people, she's hinting at the scary racist plebes, and really, what the fuck? The more I mull it over the less I'm inclined to cut her slack.

I heard it while getting ready and found it difficult to put on makeup when my eyes have rolled out of my head and under the bed.

I heard that. And I was like, you know what, this is why I am glad I am human. Because humans do things that are not dictated by biology. Like wear pants! And survive cancer! I think I shall go do something biology cannot stop me from doing, like have some ice cream. (Even if some of the population has to take Lactaid pills afterwards.)

Ooh, ice cream.
