What it’s like to live in Moscow, ID: My wife and I are downtown walking to a wedding reception; I’m wearing a tie and she’s in a summer dress. Guy drives through the crosswalk we’re waiting at and yells “CULT” out the window at us. We waved and gave him double thumbs up.
You’ll have to forgive me posting my face—we just found out we’re going to be having a daughter in June. Since she has five older brothers, this was my first shot at buying something w pink on it. Please drop your “girl dad” advice below, I hear they are exactly the same as boys.

Doug’s criticism of this particular crowd often gets described as “talking down” and “name-calling”. On a basketball court, you’d call men who respond to rebuke that way “soft.” Some of the these anons rival the feminists in their desire to be treated with kid gloves…
You know what I’m proud of? That, as of a year ago this month, I live in a nation where abortion is no longer a “constitutional right.” Plenty of states still under the shadow of death, but we’re flying that Christian flag high this Pro-Life June in gratitude!
Haha, to be fair, I thought at first he had shouted “KOHL” at me—which is the other benefit of living in a smol town: yes, libs think you’re in a cult, but everyone else knows your name.
