Y'all, I think maybe Victoria is straight up, legit mental illness crazy. I'm starting to feel bad making fun of her.

Pretty sure I've seen an exchange between the two of them on tweet beat or something similar before, so you're probably right.

America is a large, diverse country. Most people I know, including myself, were raised on good, fresh, food. It is true that there are segments of the country who eat the way you describe, but it's hardly everyone.

I thought the same thing. This study didn't seem to study what it purports to study.

No, I was 31 and 33 with mine, and both times in the first and third trimesters I was an insatiable hornball. I even had full body orgasms during sexy dreams. Just crazy.

I call this the David Bowie effect, and it is hot.

Back in the late 90s when I was at UT Austin, a lot of my straight male friends wore long flowy hippie skirts. Because those skirts are COMFORTABLE and they wanted to wear them too, and I swear, no one thought anything of it. I don't know if that's true today though.

I agree with you almost entirely. I do think though, that until we change things enough so that girls (and their parents) don't get that frilly pinkwashing of everything from birth, we should use it to our advantage to sneak a higher diversity of toys in there. The LEGO girl kits that are about like, shopping and…

Good point.

But if the LEGOS were pink, the parents might have been like "oh, these are for girls!". I think it might be more to woo the parents than the actual girls.

This made me giggle for way too long. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure it's not standard procedure. Maybe it differs by hospital, area, city, whatever, but I asked about a million questions when I had my babies and unless they were deliberately hiding information from me, they didn't test me for drugs.

Knitting needles with interchangeable tips. I need to go look what the brand is because there is only one that is any good and you won't find it at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. As I recall though, it only set me back about 50 bucks, and eventually I got a second set so that I can knit any hat or sock any size, any time.

This drives me nuts in my family too. It's like, without these people, who would rent your shitty houses? People renting your shitty houses pay for your luxury lifestyle. The poor subsidize the lifestyles of the wealthy with their collective purchasing power. Your coworker, some of my family, and people like Mitt…

Yes! I was thinking of Bonobos when I wrote "most other animals". They are the reason it wasn't so much "all other animals". There may be more examples, but that's the one I know.

During pregnancy and first year of breastfeeding I had the boobs of my dreams. Now they are but a shadow of their former selves. Sigh. It's almost worth getting pregnant again. Not quite, but between the boobs and the full four years I didn't have to have my period (breastfeeding plus apparently getting pregnant the…

I'm surprised that the article doesn't mention the awful reason that this procedure was done instead of a C-section.

It's kind of like when you turn 18, you have completed 18 years, and are embarking upon your 19th year. So past 1800, you have embarked upon your 19th century.

It's not even that.

Actually, humans distinguish themselves from most other animals in that sex serves a social function as well as a procreative function. If sex were even technically only for procreation, we would be more similar to other animals that only have sex when the female is fertile.
