It made sense to me - I think we were both on the theme of surprise cum on your face and that whether the situation was funny or gross depended on the expectations of the cumee and the intention of the cumer. Also on theme: Kinja likes to surprise you with content in places you didn’t expect, which can be funny or…

Maybe double check the birth year for Barbara Mullen? 1939 would mean she was 16 when her husband died and 17 when her last editorial ran. 1929 or 1919 maybe?

Well I thought we were sharing a moment but you know, if it was all in error... It’s fine. I’ll be okay. There are other Kinja connections to be made.

I unfollow people a lot so then I get in trouble for not knowing something because it didn’t show up in my feed. I have remedied this by looking at their Facebook page before we meet up IRL.

You’re a better person than I am. I use my free time to stalk friends from high school to make sure my life is cooler than theirs.

I will bet $10,000 that those parents would not notice if you didn’t “like” it. I unfollowed most of the parents in my network because I gdaf about babies/kids and no one is mad at me for not liking their photos, just like I’m not mad at anyone for not “liking” my beach pics from vacation (the #1 “If you didn’t have…

Toronto is the best! I love it. We have amazing festivals so if you’re planning a trip look them up and see if you can line up with something that interests you!

Oh definitely - especially when one person is either unsuspecting or not on board. This was essentially a planned come-on-the-stomach moment that turned into an Accidental Jizz Explosion (to steal a great phrase from another commenter) so I wasn’t mad. It was mostly hilarious.

Haha, very true! Once it got in my hair and on my ear and I was only annoyed because I’d just washed my hair but when I said it out loud it sounded so valley girl drama queen - “Ugh, I just washed my hair.” that it was ten times funnier again. So now in the event of an AJE it’s always “At least it’s not in your hair.”

Ontario just fought this and won! Huzzah!

This has happened to me so many times. Also just recently a decorative thing fell off my purse - it’s cylindrical and not much longer than a tampon - and my friend asked what used to be in the empty space. I dug into my bag and said “This!” while triumphantly holding up a tampon.

I think I’m the opposite! When it actually is for me I’m head held high “Yeah, I don’t know if I’m pregnant or not and I’m buying the store brand two pack because I expect this could happen again later this year. What about it?”

*continued TMI warning* Mr Penguin came on my chin (and neck and boobs and stomach...) by accident last week and we both laughed so hard we cried and that made clean up much more difficult but also very entertaining.

I also think we emphasize “thinner is better” soooo much, it’s really hard to avoid. I’m not from the US so I have to figure out pounds vs kilos but at university when I weighed 65 (145) - which is at my lighter - my friend said she’d never weighed more than 59 (130), and I know she weighs less than that now. We’re…

Right? I personally make a bit more than 45k a year and while I don’t live in Denver I think the city I’m in is probably on par for cost of living, and I cannot imagine raising a kid on my income alone.

This is the best thing anyone has ever said to me.

This is literally true but not practically. I know a number of women who have had abortions under the “mental” or “emotional” health aspect and it’s never been an issue. No one has been prosecuted within my lifetime. Abortion access in NZ is much easier than in most parts of the USA, and from my knowledge it is…

... At least it’s free and available across the country. So considerably less depressing than the USA.

Except they literally did. Novella = 80,000 words = 200x400 word articles. I can definitely find 200 articles about how wine snobbery is all made up.

My parents had a fake cake at their wedding! It came with a knife-hole for slicing photos, then they had a sheet cake for eating.
