I loved Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and it really changed my thoughts on what I want to happen to my body as well. There is only one natural burial ground in my state, and I’ve decided I want to be buried there. I am into natural dyeing (using plants to dye fabric) and there’s this process called ecoprinting where you…

On your recommendation, I immediately went out and bought this and I’m so glad I did! I have worn it every day since Friday and am loving it. I even got a compliment from a lady on the train!

Possum summer look 2015: hot weather goth brunette Stevie Nicks

Haha for real. I'm not privy to the financial arrangments but I hope it was either free or heavily discounted.

ok, this isn't my story - it happened to a friend of mine. She got her dress custom designed and created by a local designer. The designer does her garment construction at home and she made a lovely white dress for my friend. Like 3 days before the wedding the designer's sister got drunk and spilled red wine on the…

I'm 31, so on the leading edge of the millennial generation. My parents didn't spank me, and in general I don't spank my son. I am raising him the way I was raised, which is to say that we talk. Everything. To. Death. Oh god so much talking. He's 9 now and it seems to be working so far, but the real test will come in…

Everybody know that gluten is the only legitimate allergy - aside from red and crunchy that is.

You just described my house and I love it. Fist bump for inherited furniture and knitting projects on every available surface. ♡

One of my dear friends had the most fantastic bachelorette party. We live in Seattle, and we rented a mini van and road tripped down to Portland. It was close enough to be a reasonable drive but far enough to feel special and exotic. We basically just dicked around and explored the city - went vintage shopping,…

My my son's uncle (my ex's brother) (extended family relationship-labeling gets weird in broken and blended families) got married on V Day last year. He's a used car salesman and it was VERY much a thing that he would do. Give all the side eye you want because it was probably exactly how you imagine it.

Ohmygod I was just discussing this very thing with my son last night. Life is funny and wonderful.

#ACTUALLY It's not about a corporate tax holiday, it's about #ethicsinjournalism

OBVIOUSLY the difference is that polygamy is in the bible and same-sex marriage is not. Duh.

No, it doesn't. In most (if not all - there's a lot of crazy politicians in some states) states, any children of low- income families automatically qualify for state-provided health care. Since vaccines are considered preventative medicine they are free of charge to the patient. I work for a health insurance company…

I am projectile vomiting pea soup vomit from the saccharine sweeeeeet disgusting letter to the step mom. Fuck that lady, seriously.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THEY PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH THIS? Asking for real - not trying to be snarky just confused. The spray paint story is awful and obviously that was a cruel surprise that couldn't have been planned for - but the force feeding, crawling through mud stuff I don't get. What is it about being in…

yeah, it's true - there's this insane cultural expectation and it's really gendered.

oh my god I love your mom and I totally relate! I didn't bond with my son for a few months after he was born (now of course I love him to pieces as the flawed and wonderful human that he is) so I love hearing stories like yours. The "this baby came out of my body - WEIRD" feelings were something I experienced a lot of…

I am a woman. I have a 9 y/o. I did not turn into a completely different person the minute he was born. There is hope for you too!

Did not return it!
