That was my thought, too.

Yep. I'm not a super feminine woman but my pinterest is total housewife porn. Organization tips, toddler activities, DIY projects that I'll never ever get around to, recipes, fitness quotes, hair products/styles. Plus the occasional tattoo board and one called "news you need" that I basically use to bookmark articles

I like it for recipes because I'm very visual when it comes to food. I hate cookbooks without photos.

I have a Pinterest fitness board that I use exclusively for body-positive fitness messages/quotes. I don't know how much it "shakes things up" but it at least makes me feel better.

Yeah, dafuq is that shit?

I kind of feel like the worst thing to happen to weightlifting has been crossfit. Not the sport, but the culture. Every last person I've met who is into crossfit has been an asshole.

Look. Stahp what you're doing. Different people feel comfortable working out in different things. So what?

I can't comment on whether or not it was a race issue, but that was my sense as well... Planet Fitness sells itself as a place where people can work out without feeling intimidated, so I could see the employee just trying to parrot that corporate-speak in telling the woman that her outfit could be "intimidating."

I will never understand why someone would even care about how hard I'm working out, or what speed my treadmill is set to. That's the sort of judgmental gym culture that convinced me to join Planet Fitness.

Yeah, I mean, if Jez and other critics wants to bash the dress code or wonder if it's being enforced unevenly, then I get that. I do.

Well, duh, in a survival situation that's just the way it is. A grown adult can take care of himself. A child cannot.

I just feel like... How would you measure "more" love? By attention? Effort? Because kids take more attention and effort than a grown-ass person.If I tell my husband I'm too tired for sex one night, but then spend the entire night up with my toddler because he has an ear infection, that doesn't mean I love my kid more

I found out I was pregnant pretty far along in the pregnancy and wasn't sure I was going to keep it or adopt out. My MIL then promptly posted it on Facebook and I started fielding texts/calls. People had diapers in the mail before I had even processed the news FFS.

I found out I was pregnant unexpectedly, and before I had even decided if I was going to keep it, my MIL had posted about it to Facebook and people were sending me diapers.

Yeah, whenever I start to get annoyed about Facebook marketing, an ad for another cute vintage-esque online boutique pops up and I happily click. Well played, Facebook.

I just want to know if they sell a plush toy of the snow monster. That was my 2yo's favorite character.

Yeah... I work for a law firm and was bitching to my boss about how disorganized the recruiting department was. Turns out it's basically because our recruiting process is for one high-level partner to schmooze with another attorney at his country club and then basically offer him a job (and then later notifying

I wish more gun owners understood this - the NRA is NOT looking out for your interests. They represent gun manufacturers. They say shit to make you buy more guns. They are playing you, not representing you.

That was my process, too. In school we went through all of that practice of brainstorming and bullet points and shit like that, and I just needed to sit down and fucking write and then come back and made edits so it's coherent. My worst writing is when I overthink it.

My husband and I LIVE IN FEAR of this because our son (2 yo) mimics everything. Good example: Someone cut my husband off in traffic and he caught himself and just went "Aw, man!" Critter from the back seat piped up "Aww MAYUN!"
