blah blah blah dietary choices and family blah blah blah my life is very hard (hint: NO IT’S NOT)
as was vaguely feared, Dad is taking my being vegan personally and expressing what I assume is disappointment that he cannot take care of me in his customary way (cooking) by telling me that it is not normal, it’s extreme and unhealthy … and reacting to my explanation that 1) I...

War on Christmas: Great War or Greatest War?

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it.
