That is a solid point that I have never before considered. And look how filling it would be! Let’s go out for dinner.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong at all with a discussion about “baby ambivalence” but framing such a discussion as “should we mourn the loss of unplanned pregnancies?” feels gross. You know what’s unequivocally wonderful for women? The ability the completely eliminate the possibility of an unplanned pregnancies…

A thousand times this. I’m super happy an accidental pregnancy turned out ok for a reasonably well-off white woman. For most of us, an accidental pregnancy would really fuck us over; physically, financially, and mentally.

Fascinating. I don’t feel this way at all. I am deeply committed to not getting pregnant, and always have been. I have nightmares about finding out that I’m pregnant. I reflect almost every single day on how grateful I am not to be pregnant or have kids. I’m almost certain that I would get an abortion if I did get…

It’s going to eventually happen when The Defenders finally airs, but I’m more than okay with having a little snippet or two in JJ or DD’s second season. A bunch of hot, angsty people emoting everywhere & punching bad guys? My childhood obsession with Buffy has been preparing me for this exact event for YEARS.

That Tim story shouldn’t have made it. Not only was it not scary, it was horrendously written and because of it, way way too long.

I’ve posted this before, but what the hell:

Wolf dumb tho...

Really interesting piece. I’d never heard the (staggeringly and blithely fucked-up) phrase before now, so it’s great to get a crash course in the history of it.

And I HAVE to see The World, the Flesh, and the Devil. Sounds awesome.

Yeahhhh, it is never a good idea to include someone who hates your fiance — and called you up to tell you! — in your wedding party. You’re, like, triple-dog daring them to keep their mouth shut through a lot of celebrating and task mastering. I don’t care what facade she’s putting up now, there’s a better chance than…

I basically have sex because my darling husband is still into it. I keep tallies in my head over who initiated what last time, etc., and make sure to make enough moves that he doesn’t suspect I’m fine with it but would honestly rather skip the festivities.

I only like it for the news shows like Dateline, 48 Hours, Snapped (though that’s on Oxygen) and the like. I don’t care for the fake actor re-enactments because it’s always so cheesy and over-dramatic (not that Dateline isn’t overdramatic, but you know what I mean). Deadly Women is the #1 cheese followed by the one…

I have no idea. But I’ve lost countless Sundays to sitting on the couch and watching every damn “Wives With Knives” or “Killer Babies”..doesn’t matter. If it’s on the ID Network..I’ll probably watch it. Same with Oxygen’s “Snapped” (my MIL loves that series).

My other go to why the fuck are you watching this?…

Anyone else remember when you were a kid and your cartoons were preempted for a goddamn Billy Graham special? This provoked such a simmering rage in me that it may be the roots of my present atheism.

Is it an unpopular opinion to suggest that actual cheese lovers have nothing to worry about?

Yes. Even if your vastus medialis isn’t functioning quite well.

some time in the mid-90s I fell out of my bunk bed and hit my head. My parents took me to the ER, and the doctors asked me various questions to determine my mental status. One of them was “Who’s in charge at the White House?” I deadpanned “Hillary” and had the whole ER laughing. I was seven or eight.

They likely didn’t fire her for the mary jane. They likely fired her because she has a chronic medical condition which drives up their insurance costs.
