Ladies let this be a lesson to you. If for some insane reason you are interested in Jose, be clear what you want, and don't ask for his digits....

I just had a mid-wife assisted birth and easily half of their patients are not white. I have no idea where the other patients fall on the whole vaccination thing, but the midwives themselves do support vaccinations. I would say, at least in brooklyn, plenty of non-white people use midwives.

As someone who has worked as a vendor at a farmer's market (selling chocolates), I encountered this pretty frequently. One would think that the inclusion of nuts, dairy, gluten, etc. in some items was a personal affront. My favorite are the people who yell at me because not all the ingredients are local. Sorry, I…

The term people once used for the insufferable, trendy upper-class set was "bourgeois". But that reeks of discredited 70s- era Marxism. I don't think this issue is about whiteness per se, but rather, about how we have forgotten class and embraced race-baiting instead.

I just went back to school at an East Coast Ivy and my little PNW mind is blown: WHY IS NO ONE WEARING SOCKS? WHAT IS UP WITH THESE BOAT SHOES?

If that woodsman can't whittle me a desk or a new set of chompers I ain't interested.

OH DENNIS! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SO RUGGED!!

Forget the Urban Woodsman. Call me when the Urban Sombrero comes back.

when a man claims he doesn't care about fashion, I ask him if he would like to wear a tutu. If the answer is no, then he cares about fashion.

I never wqnted to do this job in a first place......I ..... I wanted to be A lumberjack.

St. Louis has an amazing zoo (no, really, they win awards and it's FREE), and I was in line at the penguin exhibit (yes, there was a line, it was new and awesome) by the pool where the warmer-weather penguins were swimming around with a pelican. I asked the guy scraping up poo and cleaning the exhibit about the…

An incredible photo gallery of this otter pup came through on Election Night at like 11:30 p.m. and I don't think I've ever posted anything to the [local news] site I work for faster in my LIFE.
