The history of American women is all about leaving home - crossing oceans and continents, or getting jobs and living on their own. Some of our national heroines were defined by the fact that they never nested - they were peripatetic crusaders like Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Sojourner Truth, Dorothea Dix. The center of our story is the tension between the yearning to create the home and the urge to get out of it.
America’s Women, by Gail Collins
Listening to this right now. That was right at the start. Definitely spoke to me.

My children thought it would be funny to get into my pink flat paint and bathe the kitten with it. After several baths my once white kitten is now cotton candy pink.

This came up on my dash as a “get motivated to get fit” picture… but I have to say, I find it kind of disturbing.

This is how awesome my mom is
- Me: I would just like to state, for the record, that I would vote for Joffrey Lannister before I would vote for Rick Perry.
- Mom: The Imp for Director of Secretary of Environmental Protection, with special attention to waterways and harbors!
- Me: Mom, I love you. I'm gonna go fix that knitting mistake in your Christmas present now. That's how awesome your Song of Ice and Fire references are.
- Mom: Thank you, my daughter. Love. Lady Caitlin

One of these is Rebecca Black’s “Friday” and the other is Rick Perry’s “Strong” video.
All I have to say is: good job, internet. Good job.(Thanks to Andy for pointing this out.)
Internet, I salute you!
Rick Perry is a twatface. I’m just going to edit cocks on him now.
