That depends on what you teach your six-year-old about. My six-year-old daughter knows the names of all of moons because she is utterly fascinated with outer space. Because of that, she also knows a hell of a lot about mythology. She's not a super-special magic genius kid or anything; she just happened to be curious…

That is not part of standard training for registered nurses in the United States; we have a specialized nurse training called SANE nursing, for Sex Assault Nurse Examiner. I would love to become a SANE nurse, but I live in a small town, and although my hospital would let me take the classroom courses required, there…

The shitty argument is that because a rape kit is collected in a hospital by a registered nurse (who should be a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner but often isn't because there are so few of them), not by a police officer, then the police shouldn't have to pay for it—your medical insurance should. That's the argument…

I love that so, so much. I saw it a couple of months ago, and I smile whenever I come across it again.

Yes, Nestle is not all terrible—tube feedings are a good thing and keep babies (and adults who are seriously ill) alive. But saying that they've come a long way since the 1970s isn't exactly accurate either.

OH MY GOD. I would have cried for joy and peed myself in sheer terror at the same time. That is amazing. (Skip to 2:30 for the amazingness.)

That doesn't solve the problem of the parents whose names are being dropped being hurt and angry (if they wouldn't be, then there's no problem). If you grew up in a culture that dropped names like that, then it would be normal and everyone would expect it, but if you didn't, you might offend someone who you love and…

I'm not sure how that would work. Your legal name is the name that goes on your tax forms. If your work used a different name to withhold taxes from, that might cause trouble. But I'd ask an HR person or contact the IRS.

Right, that's what the article said—that this will be okay going forward instead of being left up to individual commands (which is how this kind of this is usually handled). But breastfeeding in public for a political statement is still up to individual commands, and in the case from a few months ago, the people in…

Breastfeeding in uniform is fine. Having yourself photographed by a political activist group to publicize their cause while in uniform—breastfeeding, golfing, or doing anything else—is not fine, unless you get permission from your command. Those women did not; these guys did. That's the difference.

After the initial soreness—usually about a month after birth—breastfeeding shouldn't hurt (unless your kid is a biter, which can, sadly, happen). Pumping doesn't generally hurt, but it's much, much slower for most people, so it takes longer and you get less milk. Some kids don't mind switching from breast to bottle…

"Amazon Mom"? Seriously? Not "Amazon Parent"?

Seriously, I want to cry for PetyrBaelish a little bit. No spices? No fresh fruits or vegetables? Dear God.

My thoughts exactly. Three loads of laundry takes me roughly ten minutes of actual work—time sorting the clothes and stuffing them in the machines, and time folding at the end. The other several hours it takes is just the machines running. If I was losing those hours sitting at a laundromat, then yes, it might be…

And some flu vaccine jalapeno poppers.

Yep. They suck really, really badly. I've never gotten on board with the boycott, although I know plenty of breastfeeding moms who talk about it, simply because it's so hard to tell which products are theirs. I don't know how many people actually boycott them, but the idea is certainly still floating around.

Those women did not get permission from their commands to wear their uniforms. If they had, it would have been fine.

Apparently Nestle didn't bother checking Snopes before investing their many millions into magical milkshake snake oil: http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/coconutoil.asp . A relevant bit:

My first thought was, "Clearly she no idea how much a good mechanic can make!"

In fairness to Carrie, Aiden was kind of boring and annoying.
