I disagree that fondant is always terrible, since marshmallow fondant exists, but I do agree that generally it doesn’t belong on cookies. My real issue, though, is with your declaration that royal icing gets everywhere: it doesn’t have to! The whole point of royal icing is that you can make it in different…

As a teen, my friends and I, including the guy I was “in love with” decided to go to this amusement park on a hot summer day. I decided to wear my cutest mini skirt outfit in an attempt to finally woo the love of my life. Sadly though, he was in love with “Ursula”, who was the living, breathing incarnation of Ursula…

Senior year of HS, there were 3 finalists for Homecoming Queen - LB, CW, and ML. LB and CW were two, rivaling Mean/Popular Girls whereas ML was the kind, slightly nerdy, very studious, all-around lovely girl that was genuinely friends with everyone, but in previous years was generally overlooked because she was so…

I went to an elite boarding school in the mid-Atlantic region who happened to play sports in a league with a lot of other very elite schools including Sidwell Friends in D.C. which the Obama girls, Chelsea Clinton, and Al Gore’s son who is my same age.

It was at a biker bar on Folly Beach, SC. We were on a long weekend, a getaway of some of my older sisters (5 of us). We are competitive ladies.

I worked for a small nonprofit, so small that there were two of us in the local office. And, my co-worker was awful. So much gender and race implications in how he treated me. He was older, white and better educated and deeply believed he should be the boss of me. But he wasn’t, our positions were equal and…

Please tell me she painted her face with the blood from her calf before she skated for her win over Bell!

Exactly.  She found her path to wealth and will protect it/him.

Let’s me totally clear about this. Melania is an asshole too. Always was. She is not some poor loveless housewife dragged into her life.

Imagine how stupid you have to be for Melania to pwn  you

Great. Fuck ‘em both. In my dreams, this ends like Death Becomes Her with the two of them continually disfiguring each other and then spackling themselves back together.

“Our struggle for today is not to have a female Einstein appointed as an assistant professor. It’s for a woman schlemiel to get as quickly promoted as a male schlemiel.”

I mean, say what you will about Elizabeth Holmes, but my god is she an amazing pioneer in the field of gender equality for massive corporate con-jobs. 

This was the same thing that happened with my first child- found out at the 20 week scan that he was missing kidneys entirely and no lung tissue had developed. I was lucky enough to be in a state where we had until 24 weeks to decide-but had to fight with the insurance for 2 of those weeks to get them to cover my…

My wife and I went through a very similar experience, but we are in Ohio. Went in for a routine check up at 20 weeks. The doctor came in and told us they suspected he had bilateral renal agenesis, meaning he didn’t develop kidneys and likely wouldn’t be able to develop lungs. Told us they have only ever had one case…

As a parent, I can’t imagine how heart-wrenching this must have been. Thank you for being brave enough to share it. 

When I was little, my grandma had a stash of dolls and cheap costume jewelry from 40s-60s the in the front room for my sister and me to play with when we were over at her house, so she could chat (drink) with my dad in peace. One of Grandma’s rings looked EXACTLY like Perry’s.

Evangelicals make up most of trumps most ardent base. That says a lot about Evangelicals.

I move Chris O’Dowd replace Chris Pratt on the list of top Chrises.

Pratt seems like a Nice Guy, and it’s clear he has good intentions, but Evangelicals are The Worst. Following the doctrine* prevents you from being a genuinely good person 90% of the time.
