Due respect to LeBron James and all the others voicing the issue of unfairness in treatment between white/rich and POC/poor individuals in the justice system - which is absolutely legit - but this is a bullshit take.

oh my god that’s brilliant

Thanks. :) <3 I actually have a lovely OBGYN, who takes my pain very seriously. My apprehension comes mostly from the fact that we’re working from a presumed diagnosis of endometriosis - laparoscopy didn’t turn up any visible endo she could remove, so the assumption is it simply doesn’t congregate in visible clumps -…

I had a hysterectomy recommended to me as a last-resort treatment for my fucked up reproductive cycle, after having failed all other options...three years ago? I keep putting it off because I haven’t had kids, which means they won’t do it vaginally, which means a laparoscopic abdominal surgery at a minimum, and I just…

Yeah, no. Unless girlfriend dropped $9k on a Husqvarna Viking, handmade is gonna look handmade. This looks like it was made by an unmotivated child with essential tremor. She’s got a looooooong way to go before it starts to look “too nice” to be her own handmade work. 

Jesus fucking christ, it looks like it was made by a 12-year-old wearing glasses four prescriptions old. There are *so many* basic mistakes here, the kind of thing you learn the very first time you attempt your very first sampler. It’s a very sweet idea, and I’m sure she spent a fair amount of time on it (even bad…

Jesus fucking christ.

Okay, ovarian cysts usually aren’t cancerous, but sometimes they are. That risk tends to be higher in women with symptomatic cysts and those with concurrent endometriosis, which is the case with Swank. The Page Six article doesn’t give us enough information to tell whether they’re using the term malignant properly in…

If she’s wearing them all day every day, she’s clearly not suffering from them. My husband has this complaint about Chucks, that they’re so flat they make his feet hurt, but I *adore* mine. They’re by far the most comfortable athletic-type shoe I’ve ever worn for a long/active day.

Thanks, bunny! I appreciate the encouragement, and I’ll take it to heart! I shouldn’t expect to be perfect - or even good - at something the very first time I attempt it. I think I can get reasonably good at it with some practice. I do need hair-specific tools, though. I used my good fabric scissors, which are plenty…

lol. There are a few things that fall into this DO NOT DIY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, and cutting bangs/hair is one. I made it 7 months into quarantine before I cut my own hair. Thing is, like half my friends are professional hair people. I could get a killer cut (for free!) literally any time. It was just this weird…

Every once in a while I consider how many friends’ funerals I’d have been to by now if not for access to good OB care, and it’s absolutely staggering. Of my dozen or so fondest girlfriends, I’d have five left. Three of those do not have kids. One would have had a stillbirth. Only one had an uncomplicated pregnancy and …

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every rule has an exception, and I’ve been wrong before. I’m not gonna die on this hill or anything. But you understand that having a long-term, healthy, functional relationship with that level of age gap is vanishingly rare, right? 

Okay, I know this is not the point, but this made me snort my coffee:

Uhm.

Well, Brad Pitt had a rough stretch for a while there, and that’ll age a person. I think Paul Rudd’s managed to steer clear of that kinda shit.

I mean, why not lean into it? I worked with a woman who’d always intended to name a daughter “June.” Turns out she married a guy with the last name “Showers,” and she was too much of a chicken to embrace it and also too stubborn to come up with a new name altogether, so the kid ended up being Juna Showers. Which, to…

“Dollar store Ivanka”

ooh, Nancy Drew, but make it a period piece!! I’M IN.

Jesus, Megan, what kind of monster are you to inflict that header image on us in the morning? It’s already hard enough to get up and face the fucking day.
