I like
supernay:
platonic relationships. Too frequently, I think, are friendships skipped over in favor of the more ‘thrilling’ romance in novels and movies.

You Didn’t Thank Me For Punching You In The Face →
theladyafterwards:
Last year, one little boy stole [my daughter’s] Silly Bandz from her. He just grabbed her and yanked a handful of them off of her wrist. When I went to the school to address the incident, the teacher smiled and explained it away to her, in front of me, “He probably has a crush on you.”
Okay, the boy walked up to my daughter, grabbed and held her by the arm and forcibly...

spine:
I’ve been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 am than I do in an entire day
