I am so on board with that. I've always thought head scarves were so gorgeous, but I never bought one because I didn't want to be all about cultural appropriation, but now it'll totally be okay! ;)

Is mandatory use of the Oxford comma a requirement of Islam? Because I will totally convert if that is the case.

I keep seeing people on here say that Donohue is just one guy who is basically a lunatic and not affiliated with the official Catholic Church, but if Wikipedia has any truth to it, that's actually not at all true:

You don't even need a big steamer! I bought a tiny, portable steamer intended for putting in a carry-on almost twenty years ago for about ten dollars. It's amazing. I still use it whenever I need to dress up. My husband, a military man, spent literally hundreds of hours ironing and starching his uniforms to…

OMG, there are so many great literary allusions in the comments to this post! Camazotz? You are fucking awesome, @Rooo. Now I need to go bust out my Madeline L'Engle collection and re-read them.

Anybody who can rock a historical allusion to Zilpah and Bilhah like that deserves a star.

Is there a Campfire Kids group near you? They used to be the Campfire Girls, but they're open to boys now too. I'm honestly glad I have girls, because I wouldn't have let sons be Boy Scouts because of their crappy homophobia, and I would have felt so terrible telling them they couldn't participate.

I'm going to ignore the utterly racist insanity that is most of the comments on this post and just drown in the gorgeousness that is Idris Elba. Thank you.

Oops, sorry! Poor reading comprehension on my part. I wish I knew—I imagine there's very few data available, given the small sample size and what I expect would be people's reluctance to talk about it, especially teenagers who already feel threatened by society because of their gender.

Wowza! Making a typo on an order of magnitude like that is pretty impressive!

I used to work in a field that involved reading a lot of research on homelessness, and if I recall correctly, 20 to 30% of homeless kids are LGBT. Given that only about 7% of the entire population is LGBT, that means that they are way, way overrepresented in the population of homeless youth.

Yep, clearly a witch is going to turn Archie and Jughead into workers on the Federal Unemployment Tax Act next. Oh wait, is futa short for "futanari"? That makes more sense. :)

Replying to promote. My husband and I actively started trying to conceive when I was 26. A year later, we were told we would likely never get pregnant without hormonal help and probably IVF. We didn't end up needing the IVF, but we did need the fertility meds. And don't forget that it doesn't always matter how old…

I'm with @whosethesqueaker—there are tons of actual software programs that you can use to track your fertility! I used Fertility Friend, which is a free, online one that is probably the biggest.

It stretches out when you're heavily pregnant. Some people get the popped belly button look, but some just look sort of smooth like that. Mine looked just like that, and after the delivery, it went back to normal.

Holy crap! I have never heard of them charging an immediate family member for food—that is awful. As a nurse (in another month, after graduation), I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to do that. I'd totally be sneaking them trays from the kitchen.

There's no need to feel guilty about taking Jell-O and crackers from the patient kitchen—they're for families too. In fact, ask the nurses to bring you snacks. That's part of our job, and I order guest trays for family members all the time. If someone is sleeping in our hospital because they're staying with a sick…

The wealth of the area around the hospital is not necessarily indicative of the food there, at least in my one personal anecdotal experience. My town is tiny—population 18,000—and poor. Most people live below the poverty line; I believe the average family income is something like $16,000. Target won't open here…

Me too—the hospital I work at, in a very, very small, rural North Carolina town has a fucking awesome cafeteria. There is fried chicken, but there is also tons of fresh salads, grilled-to-order stuff, fresh fruit, and AMAZING pizza. People from town go there just to eat, even if they don't actually need to be at the…

Dang, y'all were unlucky in your hospitals! The place I gave birth (twice) had a "congratualations on your new baby!" dinner for new parents on the day after you had the baby. They brought my husband and I real, actual, fancy menus, and we ordered rib-eye steaks with three or four side dishes, and they brought us a…
