Nah, but I have totally given other people’s children a stern talking to. I consider it a social obligation. 

Duuuuude. This is my boyfriend’s dad. He’s a real softie now, but he was a very distant disciplinarian when my bf was growing up. By extension my boyfriend has an authoritarian streak when it comes to kids. I have a son from a previous marriage, but my boyfriend is childless. I gotta tell you, he is learning so much…

I love Alfie Kohn! I’m not gonna lie, though... I definitely am a praise seeker and I also praise my kid. BUT! I think what is more effective than the praise I give him is that I ask him about the things that he’s doing or that are important to him. I let him inform me about what he’s up to. He’s 14 now, but it…

I’m impatient and frustrate easily. It’s amazing how much patience I can muster for my kid. I didn’t have a good model for parenting, but I love my son so fiercely that making him feel that love and giving him every opportunity to be a happy, well-adjusted person have been at the center of how I parent. My kid is 14.…

I know she wasn’t the lead, but the Queen Latifah-Mos Def romance was my favorite part of Brown Sugar.

My little orange monster has been sporting just one Ugg boot. You can kind of see it in this picture of him sweetly giving his costumed brother a kiss.

Put her litter box outside - the scent will attract her. Also, cats are usually close by. I have an escape artist who was once found in the backyard of the house behind me (with 3 giant dogs!) and once found in our next door neighbor’s bushes after being missing for a day. Also, go out at night when it’s quieter and…

I know. Presumably his EP position is why he also gets to play two meaningless characters.

Franco’s characters are the least interesting part of this show, especially in season 2. I tune out or ffwd through a lot of his scenes because they add nothing of value. Maggie Gyllenhall is everything though. 

Would that it were also over IRL. Instead I’m sitting here watching a bunch of men grill a woman who is a sexual assault survivor because they’re desperate to protect their groping, raping, way of life that has allowed them to feel ownership over women’s bodies for all of fucking eternity.

Meh. I don’t love my Instant Pot at all. I tried a bunch of recipes in it and nothing impressed me. First, the time to come up to pressure and then the time to release pressure adds a significant amount of time. Second, and more importantly, everything you make in an IP tastes so much better when you make it using…

The only thing that could make football entertaining to me are these folks right here:

I literally feel like I had a low key version of Issa’s feels. “Ohhhh shiiiiiiit. Lawrence. God, he looks good. But Nathan has so much promise and seems kind of amazing! But I have a history with Lawrence!” I’m so confused about what I even want to happen.

Same. It’s also much safer for the cat. As a kid, when we had indoor/outdoor cats, we had a steady parade of cats because we’d get one, have it for a few years and then it would vanish. I can’t even tell you how many cats I had in my childhood.

A life without cheese is not a life worth living.

I live in California, but I made a contribution last week after his kick ass response to the question regarding his feelings about taking a knee. I want him to win so badly. 

Fuck this lady. Fuck cops. Fuck the deification of murdering “law enforcement.” Fuck it all.

This is pretty much me. I have a small rib cage/back, but meaty upper arms. I wear a 34DD bra, but a size L/XL top fits me best. However, I risk getting stuck in anything that doesn’t have some stretch to the arm holes. Or I just won’t be able to get my arms in at all. And I loathe cap sleeves or sleeveless tops…
