Gallows humor for the darkest timeline. :)

I’ve been having trouble getting pregnant (and carrying to term) for the last few years, and I have a hard time thinking about adoption. I’m open to it, in theory, but as you say there are so many practical concerns and it’s so expensive. Plus if I’m honest, I’m terrified of having a child who rejects me when they’re…

Sorry! Deleted and moved, I replied to your comment accidentally.

Adjective or adverb, ‘low-key’ is useful and therefore probably along for the long haul; even if you don’t care for it because you find new words to be unprofessional by default, which seems to be your primary argument. (There’s a reason the dictionary has it on watch.)

Aw, I know you’re making a funny but I just moved to AZ from CA and it’s improving! We did just elect Kyrsten Sinema. Plus, the natural beauty here is incredible. I lived in wine country 20 minutes from the ocean in California, and the first time I saw the area I moved to in Arizona I was literally moved to tears.…

That statement is PR spin at absolute best, definitely wasn’t written by that kid (as initially reported), and was presented as fact by a media personality without disclosing that it was crafted by a PR professional who is the same person. It’s bad form for journalists to republish press releases straight in any…

This is so much more than spin:

A true story of a 90-year-old man having two threesomes!

I don’t like paying tons of money for software that isn’t competitive any more than the next person, but I think the expectation that the software to do literal work should be cheap/free is also pretty shitty.

Since many blogs/journalism outlets have fallen into the position of self-reporting on bad actions in the past—in particular, both the pre and post-Gawker Kinja blogs—it makes sense that anyone working for these companies would find paying a subject “arguably grosser” than hiring Fuck Jerry and Co. and having them…

It’s funny because you’d assume grifters could spot grift, but they CAN’T. Their enormous egos get in the way.

I have never felt so defensive of weed in my life. This ... thing ... is not cannabis’ fault.

It’s not goalpost moving to acknowledge that people have allergies to things, and those allergies are totally different than a ‘syndrome’.

This is the dumbest take. People are responsible for their actions and the appearance of their actions in public.

You be better. When other women say something true to their experience and it differs from yours, just dismissing them outright (“truthers”) is not the way to go. 

Seconding this. I had a custom, steel-boned corset made for my wedding because I have big boobs and I didn’t want to wear an uncomfortable strapless bra all day. A well-made corset is extremely comfortable. I loved it — it really does feel like a hug. If they weren’t totally obvious under most casual clothes (and…

I know. I specifically said there’s a sound argument the Chinese invented printing, not writing. PRINTING. The thing we often wrongly attribute to Gutenberg (though he was no slouch with that movable type of his).

There’s a pretty sound argument that the Chinese did invent printing, which someone might generalize into ‘writing’, I guess. Lots of technology comes from China, it’s not a crazy thought.

Lindsay’s been through some shit, but lots of people go through shit and don’t turn into assholes. She’s an asshole. Case in point:

Don’t be a jerk. Phoenix and surrounding are very much down from where I am in northern Arizona, both in terms of being south and elevation. The Phoenix metro area is often referred to as a valley (Valley of the Sun, Salt River Valley, etc.). It’s not like I made it up.
