I realized this morning that when my grandmother is talking to JT or I she refers to where we live as “the townhouse.” It’s never “your house” and certainly not “your home.”
I have come to believe that this is due to the fact that she is unwilling to accept that her house is no longer JT’s home and my parents’ house is no longer mine. Like everybody is waiting for the day all the kids decide to come back.
And aren’t coming ANYWHERE near where I live.
my life is over.
The state of Missouri has been in the national spotlight recently because of comments made by Republican Congressman Todd Akin who claimed that raped women rarely get pregnant. After his statements hit the Internet, immediate outrage burned across the country. Akin later apologized, but his statements have rekindled a nationwide debate. One that republicans desperately do not want to have, lest they alienate a wide majority of female voters.
Sharon Barnes, a high ranking state Republican, came to the defense of her conservative colleague who she believes only “phrased it (his statement) badly.”
Barnes was quoted by The New York Times saying, “abortion is never an option.” Barnes went on to biblically claim that, “If God has chosen to bless this person [the rape victim] with a life, you don’t kill it.”
Barnes did not elaborate on her views for post-pregnancy care, or costs.
Barnes has been a figure in conservative St. Louis politics for years, and currently holds all of the following titles according to her Linkedin profile:
- President of The 2nd Congressional District Republican Women
- President of The Republican Women’s Club of St. Louis
- Vice President, Membership Committee at National Federation Of Republican Women
- Vice President of The Missouri Federation of Republican Women
- Chairman of The St. Louis City Republican Central Committee
- State Committeewoman, 4th Senate District at Missouri Republican Party
- Committeewoman, 24th Ward at Missouri Republican Party
- Volunteer at GOP Missouri Republican Party
As her comments become more known the GOP will attempt to spin Barnes’ clout in the party as little, when in reality she is a big player behind the scenes.

Just…ew
Shoutout to Sammy and Patches for both asking me if I was okay/letting me bitch for a second. I was really, really, really not okay but just knowing that someone gives a shit has me feeling a lot better.

Remind myself that I’m not alone.
Remind myself that this has happened before.
Remind myself that I made it out.
Remind myself that it might not be okay, at least for awhile.
Remind myself that I can still make it.
Remind myself that I’m not alone.
i mean yes it’s borderline hilarious that mitt romney considers paul ryan qualified for vice presidency but we have to remember that mitt romney also considers mitt romney qualified for presidency
I find myself slipping once again into that gaping chasm I call my ten year struggle with depression, violently trying to claw my way out. Throwing people in after me like there’s any amount of friends or alcohol that’s going to finally fill it up after all these years. And I wonder how long it’s going to take for everyone I’ve ever met to figure out once again that they don’t have rock climbing gear and even if they did, I wouldn’t be worth it.
By the feel of things, it’s already started.
Jk guys I drew dicks everywhere Lacey gets $5 for guessing correctly
I hope to Satan this is actually true.
Now I cry like, every other day.
So there’s that.
I woke up this morning thinking about why the fuck are there all these schools and things that are exclusively religious? Let’s start an Athiest private school. We’ll just fucking study dinosaurs and gravity and evolution and shit all day.
