Oh my god!! That dog SPINS!! MY DOG SPINS! She's such a mutt, but she looks mostly like a lab/shepherd/collie and she SPINS like that all the time when she's happy or playing. It makes everybody who sees it laugh and they swear they've never seen it before. I never see other dogs do it either! My dog must meet this…

Well yeah exactly. There's stuff I give up to live here (mostly money...)

Oh man, the coast... I miss it there! I moved there right after Calgary as well. There are some things about the OK that are a lot like Calgary unfortunately, like the people and their politics. And if you grew up here I can see why you'd want to leave... It can be pretty small-town. I guess it's the beauty that…

Totally. People have babies all the GD time and people don't go up to every mom and ask "so did you do vaginal or c section? How long did you bleed after and how damaged does your vagina look now? How many stitches on your perineum? What does that feel like?" No they talk about the fracking kid cuz the outcome is the…

As a British Columbian I am the asshole Californian of Canada who will smugly point out that we haven't really been affected at all (by the time you get to the okanagan where I am anyway) and cluelessly ask y'all why you even bother living in the rest of the country. I did Calgary. I left. I'll admit I'd have a better…

Yes! There is smudginess going on all over where a unibrow would go.

I feel like this dress is straight off a 90s era Barbie. ETA: ugh, kinja changed my pic! I meant the Tracy Anderson dress.

I like that. Aren't we all just "weird little ham-shaped balls of flawed humanity"?

I am a plus size apple shape who is 7 months pregnant. SO MANY of my shirts work perfectly for maternity because I always bought shirts that hid my tummy. Also I haven't gained any weight —- I think baby is eating my fat.

I cannot, CANNOT, imagine anything better than sitting on my sofa, eating BBQ chips and watching 30 rock to fix that kind of mood. I suggest that you sing "working on my night cheese!" At the top if your lungs when you eat the pizza to banish the last of your blues.

I can only imagine! It all seems like an awesome dream to me right now - and has for months - even though he's kicking me everyday. Holding him and loving him must be surreal, congratulations! And I can't wait :)

Oh yay!!! I'm due in march and I have babies on the brain all the time now, so I spent my New Years morning indulging in baby forums and baby books... And then I come to Jezebel and there's more babies! Woohoo :)

I know. And the lyrics she wrote about people putting "colourful banners" up in gentrified neighbourhoods that used to house mostly poor families of colour showing that the powers that be have "no manners and no grace" are ringing through my head right now. Like does she remember that she wrote that song?? SHE WROTE…

It says "...at least as it relates to the sociopolitical context they live in." It seems socially acceptable to them - or at least more so than their other options. They receive praise from the jihadist groups they join for being heroic and it therefore seems acceptable to them, I think is what she was driving at?…

Well I'm obviously not around here enough on Christmas! Every year I'm like "why doesn't anyone else think this sounds a little rapey?" I should have known someone here thought of it first :)

Ummmmmm, so I came across this when following one if the E! Links. Miley Cyrus performing with a little person in a way that seems... Wrong. http://eprotoeu.mtiny.com/article.ftl?id…

Yup. Sums it up pretty damn well.

I have a theory that the name Janet makes any joke funnier. It all started with an off-hand one day if how funny it would be if someone named their cat "Janet"... It's like the "Cleveland" of names.
