I’m glad it worked out for your kids so well but it’s specious to say that kids who have tantrums about food have unhealthy relationships with food.

A bizarre sort of amnesia sets in, even when you’re a cynical person who is bent on ignoring it all. Like, most of the moms of young kids I know feel awful most of the time, but it really does start to fade SO QUICKLY once everyone is healthy and able to feed themselves. It must be something kind of evolutionary,…

I am trying to resist the snark here... oh hell, I can’t. 

Toddlers are going to throw a tantrum about food no matter where it comes from.
And there’s really no such thing as handing a toddler a sandwich and getting some shit done. Parents, most often women, pretty much need to monitor small children during mealtimes all the time.
You definitely should’ve just avoided the ball…

I’m of two minds on this subject. On the one hand, I don’t want to contribute to body shaming or making anyone feel bad for the way they are made. On the other hand......I have known very few women who care much about penis size at all. Maybe 1-2% of women I’ve ever talked about sex or penises with have cared in the…

YES. I am still waiting for the fundamental crappiness of this afterlife’s system to be addressed, and the only thing that will truly disappoint me about this show and where it leads will be if that never happens. I still am reasonably sure that Chidi, an ethical philosopher, and Eleanor, who can see through BS a mile…

Everything about this makes me so angry, I am so sorry. When I was a student teacher almost 15 years ago, there was a student who had an issue with me. At first he was just a disturbance in class, then it escalated to making sexual jokes about it, then it turned to threatening my physically. My feelings went from…

my boyfriend is REALLY into music so he was helping me pick out a pair of good bluetooth earbuds the other day. he suggested the tiny little ones similar to airpods, and i told him i need the ones that are connected with a wire because i usually only wear one ear in while i’m going for a walk or run. he was so confused…

I just, I honestly do not even know what to say to that. I’d say sorry, but its essentially meaningless. I wish you did not even have to share that experience because of it never having happened in the first place. 

I was okay until the little girls came out. Then I lost it. Us grown up ladies are battle-hardened already by all this shit, but it kills me to think of the next generation of girls having to live through more of the same.

I was leaving a book launch around 8p last night. As I always do after dark, I called someone as I walked to my car in case I get attacked the person on the other end can call 911. Also? My husband didn’t answer his phone, so I just talked to his voicemail until I got to my car so that he could call 911 if I didn’t…

Your story makes me SEETHE with rage.

Where/when in this country do we ever allow someone under the age of 18 to sign a legal and binding contract??  Much less a five year old.  This is beyond ridiculous.

They are the monsters.

I speak out ALL THE TIME about women’s issues, and I was DUMBFOUNDED at how many of the things that she mentioned that women can’t do that I had internalized and accepted. It’s just the way it is -- all of the tiny little freedoms that men have that I don’t. FUCK ALL OF THIS.

Am I the only one that busted a gut at the reveal of the new super computer system? Michael’s comment a few scenes earlier was amusing enough on its own, but I was delighted and surprised when it actually paid off in such a great way.

You missed the real joke about Ken the barista.

Most importantly, I have a new go-to #confusion gif.

Can’t stop chuckling at ‘T M Zed?’

Not only is this my favorite show on TV because of its wonderful humanity, likeable characters, brilliant performances, and endless wit, but it also makes sure to get me personally with a wrestling joke here and there.
