It drives me up the wall. I had things like reduced lunch as a kid, and now, guess what? I am a college-educated citizen with a job, who pays taxes, contributes to society, and serves in the military. You know what would have made all that impossible? Not being able to think in school because I was so hungry. So for…

Yes, I’m not sure what the shaming surrounding people utilizing social programs designed to level the playing field/provide needed support is. Can’t bootstrap if you have no shoes.

KELLY. Shiplap, overplayed, okay, whatever. I love home renovation shows so much, I can overlook it as a charming quirk. BUT YOU’RE MISSING THE BEST PART. As I recently discovered, Chip and Joanna are apparently super serious Christians, which explains all the kids and the farm sort of and the vague gender-roles-y…

Ah, from Internet’s Dad to Internet’s Actual Dad within a week.

They probably scan fewer old hats than dildos

I travel domestically and internationally a lot and I have never once pulled out my liquids, and they have never once asked about them.

And most importantly, you get to be self righteous in comment threads about engagement rings. And who can put a price on that?

I wish I lived where you do.

“He said Dada today, three times!”

Why stop at 2?? Why allow people to have ANY children at all? Just adopt, right? And it’s not like China’s limit on birth rates has done any harm to their ability to sustain their economy and infrastructure with a their huge elderly population and no new people, right?

it’s not really anyone’s place to tell someone what they should/shouldn't be doing with their reproductive organs

People really like to judge other’s reproductive choices. Especially when the others are young black women.

Being a mother of small children is incredibly difficult. It’s also draining to be pregnant while caring for kids. Even when you want them and have the support of family and a partner like this woman, having children is hard and takes a certain amount of strength.

I actually miss the days when we’d have to sneak in very quiet quickies in the bathroom or something when the boys were small. Now they’re teenagers and too interested in themselves, phones, and video games to give a shit where we are at any given time. Which is great, but also yeah, miss those creative quickies.

That outfit at the top right... Capri pants for dudes A-OK?

It bothers me so much that this doesn’t actually rhyme...
