No, I think Pinkham said he was taking it with him, wherever he is planning on going.

Pinkham is leaving Gawker Media (kitchenette is “folding” whatever that means), he says that BCO is going with him to where ever he is going (he didn’t say where that was).

“Travel this much” Ha. It’s not like business travellers are generally getting sent to exciting, exotic destinations. It’s more like...here you get to go to Binghamton, NY or Aberdeen, MD. You can eat at one of two horrible restaurant choices or maybe at the airport. And even when the destination is a nice spot - you…

Yeah. For an organisation that prides itself on being able to handle self-critique, this is strange and, as you say, telling.

I keep waiting for something from Gawker media on this topic but have yet to see anything. I’m sort of glad that Behind Closed Ovens is leaving Jezebel because I’ve been wanting to quit reading that site for months but keep getting sucked back in by BCO.

She’s awful. And her recipes are bizarre.

No. Three months is too soon to have to put a baby into childcare. Her leave was not long enough. They could afford for her to stay home, but she would have lost her health coverage.

So we should all be independently wealthy enough to quit our jobs completely before having children? She could afford childcare. She could not afford to go without the healthcare her job provided.

I think it’s actually about affordable healthcare for everyone and the fact that 3 months paid leave is considered extremely generous in this country. But yes, quality affordable childcare is a huge part of it too. I earn roughly my daughter’s childcare tuition. It sucks.

But they could afford it. Her job just didn’t give her enough leave.

But is it going to be thinly-veiled LDS propaganda claptrap?

I agree. It was an interesting protest, initially, but the joke has been over for a long time. It’s a little bizarre to see supposedly non-religious people getting so far into an organised, made-up, belief system - whether or not one knows it’s made up makes very little difference in the end.

I’m sure I’ve had worse, but the most recent one was yesterday, watching Inside Out with my small daughter. She kept asking why I was crying.

Once, my husband shaved his beard while I was out getting drinks with friends. I came home plastered, took one look at him and shrieked.

It is a bit necessary if you have two working parents.

No, I think that was a possible new Alexandria that Aaron and Darryl had been tracking.

I wouldn’t even have known what to say. But I do the same thing with my kid and am terrified of a neighbour doing the same thing.

Me too! Although now it is gaining popularity, so I have the same name as everyone’s grandmother and kid’s best friend.

Me too - I hated it because I was forced to brush out all the curls and it looked terrible. My mother has straight, straight hair and had no idea how to help me.

My father said the same thing to me as a child and now he bugs me about brushing my daughter’s hair. The thing is, we both have lovely hair, that we got from his side of the family! It’s just a little unruly sometimes.
