she looks like a normal 45 year old who has not had cosmetic surgery and doesn't wear a lot of makeup. Don't bring her looks into Allen's terribleness.

You’re not too smart. Mastitis is a real issue and we have an obligation to make sure women are able to care for their bodies, the bodies that make new humans... It’s equivalent to not providing ramps for wheel chairs.

It’s kind of crazy how much I don’t care if people see my boobs now that I’ve had a baby. I used to keep that shit on lockdown, but now I only use the cover because I think others might be uncomfortable.

Crazy thing is I got off to pump thinking “I don’t want to offend the guy next to me” But why? He probably sucked a boob too.

Just saying that doesn’t make it so. The methods that Certified farms use are night and day compared to Monsanto farms (it’s pretty much one or the other around here) and that has clear and important consequences for the people growing our food, and the land and water they use to grow it. I think it’s 7 years without…

Can’t we counterprogram? Maybe some Georgia O’Keeffe paintngs?

I *love* that Jez has covered this. Harris Wofford is truly one of the great American treasures, and no one knows about him. He got JFK to pick up the phone and call Coretta Scott King and offer support while MLK was in jail, and probably contributed to him winning the election. He shaped the Peace Corps- which is…

I made this Hamilton meme and was proud of it so I figured I’d share it with the Jezzies!

My excuse is that my baby actually died, and I cope with bad feelings by eating, so I had pregnancy weight AND grief weight and it was all I could do to get out of bed in the morning and keep breathing until I went back to bed at night, so I wasn’t about to try to train myself to eat better and work out. Not at that…

I think that there’s a big difference between “this is my lifestyle” and “what’s your excuse?”

Okay, I HAVE, so I guess I get an opinion.

Are you OK? You seem really upset that some people don’t or won’t workout. I’m concerned for you. I think you might need some therapy around boundaries — self vs. other people. Or maybe it’s OCD? Or do you have some kind of fear of people who are not physically fit? Maybe a phobia?

I mean, this is where I’m at NOW. My kids are older. When I had a toddler and a newborn and slept pretty much not at all (my second kid was MEAN) my priorities were feed everyone, clean everyone, keep everyone alive. Sometimes you do just have to check out for a bit and slog through until things get better. Sometimes…

Generally speaking. But in some cases it’s an issue of the SAHP’s job not covering the cost of childcare. Or calling it so close that it's not worth it.

As Stassa said in this piece, many women are stuck in a catch-22 where they can’t afford daycare, but also can’t really afford not to work. Sometimes the cost of childcare prices you out of your job. That’s not a cushy life.

Waiting for people to understand that being a stay at home parent in no way means that you’re living the cushy life.

We’ve done public day-care before, in World War 2. We should do it again, although we have to get it right - a bad day-care can be worse than no day-care at all.

Donald Trump is what’s wrong with America. He’s aggressively mediocre, not especially bright, no political experience—yet he thinks he can run for president. The system is broken, he’s living proof of it.

They need to bring back Jonathan for this important event and definitely kill Michael off.

Or having to make due with Zima.
