Not to mention the whole thing where she didn’t want more babies and he did - even after she had a very dangerous first pregnancy, the second could have killed her, and he still wanted more kids. Hence surrogates for 3 and 4. It will always bug me that she said she didn’t want more kids - reproductive coercion is…

This is one of the most important and difficult lessons I’ve had to learn, thank to an ex. And maybe being an asshole and being mentally ill are sometimes terribly complicated and intertwined, but it doesn’t mean you get a free pass for hurting people, and it doesn’t mean that you love and who love you have to stay…

I thought the top photo was photoshopped. And as I read, I prayed that it was photoshopped. and .. it was not. 

This! I get so mad at people who don’t do their research into pets, don’t know what pet is best for them and their lifestyle/household, and then dump them onto rescues or shelters or are “oh we’re so sad we have to rehome Stinky, we love him so much.” It boils my blood, they’re living beings, they’re part of your…

Seriously, Rachel Ray makes DOG FOOD for fucks sake. DOG FOOD. 

I think we need to be more flexible in what a “birth certificate” records if it’s intended to be the legal document defining the legal custodial parents of a child. It’s been outdated to have “mother” and “father” for as long as gay parents and single motherhood have existed. there’s no need for everyone to have the…

I feel a small bit of delight that i get to keep getting Botox for migraines during all of this because it’s medical, and the celebs don’t. Medical though it may be, it still keeps wrinkles at bay where it’s injected, in addition to staving off my chronic migraines. (i actually got my last injection just after this…

I’ve seen a startling amount of people on the internets saying they don’t like her BECAUSE she reminds them of Hilary, and is therefore untrustworthy. The misogyny here is just unfathomable. 

“Unschooling” can be a legit method of homeschooling, depending on who you talk to. I have a friend who has a teaching degree and is doing an incredible job of homeschooling her kids. The “unschooling” they follow means that they’re not just doing regular school but at home - meaning they don’t sit at desks with books…

This! I have no plans to get married anytime soon, but i kind of want to have a giant formal party to just celebrate my life. 

This is a great article. But when it comes to women judging women, it feels like no one can win. The author starts by lamenting the bullying she receives about her teeth, and then not halfway into the article describes another woman as having “a smile so toothy I think she wants to eat something.”

I’ve always had a feeling she had too much in common with her character on Nashville. 

The issue here is that when the people with the power to change the sub-standard services can opt out of those services, it’s a lot harder to change them. This applies to so many things - look at public schools vs charter and private schools. Of course I want better health care! But i want decent healthcare for…

I don’t think it’s a surprise or a coincidence that women and POC are snubbed while the film with the most nods is about an angry white man. 

T.I shouldn’t have been violating his daughter’s agency like that, straight up.

I had a boyfriend who ordered a gyro, pronounced it “yero” and got a hero, as in a sub. Was not pleased. 

Seems like she deleted her account?

I am so incredibly disappointed that Roxane Gay joined in this. 

Ok, pony-tail haver here, i just want to say that sometimes ponytails swing over seats without us knowing/feeling! and we feel bad! so please don’t be rude and nasty, or worse, yank our hair (someone did this to me once). just politely let me know my hair is over my seat. I usually wear my hair in a bun when i’m travel…

Yeah, this is a major pain. I now wear a vest with a bunch of pockets and fill it with everything i could POSSIBLY need during the flight (meds, chargers, snacks) and put other things (books, ipad, water) in the seat back pocket before settling in because if someone reclines, i can’t get to my bag. this has happened…
