It's been a long night, but this gave me a tear in my eye.

I hear you, Agnes. My (now husband - though it's funny to call him that) and I (a female) got married a few days before I had a super major medical procedure. We had been together for almost a decade, and had promised to not get married until our LGBTQ friends could get married in California as well (this was…

Sorry, but if your male friends didn't want to be dads, they should have used condoms. I'm a big old feminist but my advice to younger male relatives and friends is that unless they're watching their lady-friend swallow the pill every morning, don't take her word for it that she's on the Pill. It pains me to no end to…

A-freakin-men!

@One_Hot_Redhead: You are awesome, and don't listen to those morons who would have the f-ing audacity to say that someone who adopts is "selfish."

@boombassadorofawesomecakes: This.

@notfooled: Uhh, you lost me when you said you have to stop being selfish after having a kid. Please stop with that tired line. Please.

Awe.Some! Jezzies, invite her to the next NYC meet-up!

@dustycommercial: Ugh. Groceries at Safeway are frivolous?

@andnowlights: Good for you, purchased lunches are a killer. I brown-bagged it five days a week when I was working in NYC (and made coffee on a four-cup Mr. Coffee machine in my cube in the morning), and consciously made a mental note of how much money I saved. $350 a month, mas o menos, which converts to more than 4…
