Another fun fact: her family also can’t pronounce my western name (like, at all). So, in keeping with the Chinese manner of giving names, my partner came up with a Chinese version of my name that:

I’m in a similar situation. Fun fact! In Chinese families, the wife doesn’t usually take the husband’s family name.

A man who’s going to bounce will do it no matter what you name the kid.

Hernandez (not my real name, obv)

As someone who has both his mother’s last name and a good relationship with his father, I can assure the writer that if she wins this argument everything will be just fine.

This is the least confused I have been about these matters...ever. Thanks again! We need you to footnote all the Jezebel royalty tags.

A “commoner” is defined as “anyone who’s not royal by birth”. Aristocracy (earls, dukes, barons, viscounts, marquesses) =/= royalty.

No, it wasn’t letters shifting in the envelope. The window was large enough the letter could be read.

I’m one of those people! In fact I just found out she wasn’t a commoner approximately 3 minutes ago.

I really hope she beefs with Beyoncé at some point so Twitter is nothing but venomous bees and snakes. Like Australia.

Hail Anastasia, full of grace, the pigment is with thee. Blessed art thou among MUAs, and blessed is the fruit of thy US-based factories, Modern Renaissance.

Trump wears Brioni suits which are actually very expensive ; usually over $5k each. The problem is, Trump has a physique that’s like warm yogurt pored into a hefty bag and, most importantly, he is too stupid to get the suits tailored to fit.

remember when ben carson removed brain surgeon from consideration as a basis for intelligence?

I wouldn’t exactly co-sign that, Jujy. A friend of mine is one and last year at a convention we lost the top to a handle of Captain Morgan while partying poolside in Vegas. What does genius over there do? Try to drink what is left in the bottle otherwise it will go bad. That was about 3 am and we didn’t hear from him…

So far, Kelly has lasted at least three Scaramuccis (a new Trump White House measure of time).

Yep, it’s B6-13, at your service. It’s handled.

Combining my two great loves — fonts and pop culture trash — in one post is more than this girl could dare to dream to happen on this otherwise ordinary Thursday.

It’s like a new governess hired to manage a particularly unruly child, and using every trick in her bag to make him behave.

True story, one of my ancestors was an original contributing artist (cartoons and covers) in the early years of The New Yorker. Also true story, relaying this information in an attempt to rig the New Yorker caption contest in your favor does not help you win it. Ever.
