So much this. I was always pro-choice, but I can distinctly remember two instances in my pregnancy - one as I was throwing up everything I’d eaten all day after having to bolt from the dinner table, and the other as I was on doctor’s appointment number four for the week (while starving, because thanks gestational…

Same here. Nothing made me understand how important a woman’s right to choose is until I had a baby myself.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

That’s the point. It is a vast and beautiful country - yet they insist that the sailors must compete in sewage. As if they couldn’t find a single alternative venue apart from this bay in Rio.

no, six. It mutated and grew an extra one.

I remember talking to my co-workers and discussing that I might be interested in YouTube Red, because I watch enough Youtube that an ad-free experience might be worth the money. Pretty much got told by a half-dozen people that I was dumb for not using adblocker.

I mean, I get it. I have adblocker. But I also want to…

Needs some cream and butter...

That’s really sweet. Made the bunny cry. Damn allergies.

Seriously, everything we eat (apart from American “cheese,” and breakfast cereals, which have no actual food content in them (/s)) comes from sources that are of, relating to, or derived from living matter. So all the stupid pseudoscientific bullshit surrounding this word can seriously go fuck off with the anti-GMO…

I wonder how the plumber bill for repairing burst pipes figures into the space heater savings? Just shutting off your heat has consequences beyond saving money.

“Never loan anybody your pickup truck.” is a lesson that needs to be burned into the brains of anyone who buys a pickup. Just by it’s nature, anybody who wants to use your truck is not asking for it because they need to transport a cardboard box filled with lace dollies. They’re going to beat that thing like a rented…

The daughter of a friend of mine was dating a 30 year old guy when she was in university. At the end of first year the daughter told my friend that she wanted to rent a house with her friends and her boyfriend. My friend responded “Are you sure it’s ok with your friends? What 18 year old girl wants to live with a…

Now I’m a bit worried that the barista is going to get some blowback on this. I mean they used a fake name, but if Starbucks can track down the jerkface customer, it’s a short hop to figure out who the server is. I’d rather not see them get fired because some corporate tool doesn’t like it when the wage slaves vent…

What if she was diabetic and off her meds, would that be okay to talk about? Maybe we need to quit thinking about mental illness as a dirty little secret that needs to be hidden?

I’d be so fucking pissed as a teen if my mom disclosed my mental illness to the national media, never mind just my social circle. I was an angry teen with undiagnosed/unidentified mental illness, though. Can’t begin to imagine what I might do as a parent if my baby (no matter their age) went missing, mostly because…

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

Thanks for writing this. You just can't keep up your suburban habits when living in neighborhoods like this. Leaving the windows open is just not a good idea in most places, and making yourself stick out is just dumb. I'm 22 as well and still live at home, but most of my friends have moved into the cheapest housing…
