It’s weird how some people seem to have really long pregnancies and others don’t in our social media lives. I think it depends on how often you get “reminded” that they’re expecting and how early they make it public. Cardi’s due date is a bit earlier than mine, but in my mind I’m racing her...lol! 37 weeks and it

Same here and I love it. I feel so relaxed on my long commute every day, and it’s nice to know it’s also safer. I don’t feel like I’m leaning forward or back, it’s just natural.

Best episode ever, thank you for reminding me of it!!

Same — I lived at S. 3rd & Bedford in the late 00's and biked south through that neighborhood using the infamous bike lane every day to get to work in DUMBO. Hasidic guys in Honda Odysseys or Toyota Siennas regularly opened their car doors right in front of me on an almost daily basis. There was no doubt whatsoever

I hated Vanessa SO MUCH during the original airing, but I just re-watched it and was like “omg I was wrong, she’s not all bad.” It blew my mind.

Ah, I know what you mean about Rooney Mara! That drove me crazy. I don’t know why, but her whole damaged/vacant thing she does on red carpets makes me so annoyed. Like, ok, we get it, you’re so fragile this is all just too much for you... Totally unfair and pointless feelings on my part but hey there they are. Give me

Eh people survived in Iceland and Greenland without grain/veg.

Yes, really great piece! Well written and empathetic and interesting. Kind of a “This American Life” vibe.

Or it looks like Le Labo Noir 29 has fig. Not sure how prominent it is in the mixture though.

Does Diptyque perfume have alcohol? I wonder if they have a perfume-version of Figuier?

I get that, but at what point is the distinction meaningless?

OH MY GOD!!!!!!! MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE GUN LAWS YOU’RE PASSING BRO! That is so completely insane. Holy shit.

Drake is in fact a black human being in North America though. I understand there are nuances of black culture and obvious questions of credibility, but saying a black man is “exploiting black music” is a bit of a stretch.

DAMN i myself have not seen this point articulated. That’s some Donald Trump-level daftness w/r/t black culture in the US.

Haha! See, that’s the whole problem with this conversation — I just can’t get with the idea of giving a fuck how often someone has a boyfriend. Like, what?? Maybe I’m just so not the target audience for her views that it’s incomprehensible to me how that could matter, in regard to feminism, one way or another.

Right, and her argument just ignores the fight for marriage equality all-together. It’s clearly worth fighting for for lots of reasons.

I go back and forth on this. In some ways, I think the debating and focus on minutiae is what makes the feminist movement distinct from more patriarchal approaches to community. It’s part of what makes women awesome — our ability to consider nuance, to be compassionate, to be inclusive. So the question becomes, to we

I’m with you — I’d like to visit my partner (husband) in the hospital when he is dying some day. That does not negate my feminism. Fuck that shit. Most of my friends who are married did not wear white or walk down and aisle or anything resembling the tenants of patriarchal marriage. I don’t know any couples (that I’m

I’d say for a lot of people this is a life-long learning experience. I grew up on welfare, living on a reservation where everyone had next to nothing. We all wore hand me down clothes or ones our families made for us, and there were only 6 kids in my class, so there was no exclusion based on perceived class or

Well that just broke my heart. Thank you for sharing.
