Today, my overly religious fucknut of a cousin called me, ranting about my daughter trying to corrupt hers. They were chatting on a kids' messenger app when my 5-year-old sent her 7-year-old a Pokémon sticker. Apparently, Pokémon in satanic and we ought to know better. Now she won’t let them talk to us.

Today, I have laryngitis and can’t speak at all. I went to make myself some breakfast and my mom kept asking me questions, to which I replied with nods and head shakes. She said, in a condescending voice, that I need to use my “big girl words” and will keep using her “baby voice” until I do so. FML

Most personal bankruptcies in America are due to medical bills. Join the club! Maybe Lee Greenwood could add a verse about that.

America really needs universal healthcare. Nobody should go bankrupt from accessing essential medical services. What a fucking travesty. I'm thankful I'm Canadian.

Do the test. Give them what you can each month, even if it’s only $5. They can’t really take you to collections as long as you’re paying something.
