When I was a little kid, I knew a couple of families whose moms made their kids’ clothes because it was cheaper than buying them in the store. But, now, like you said, it’s cheaper to go to the store and buy off the rack clothing than to make them. And I think that’s because while fabric and pattern prices have kept…

True of knitting, too. I used to knit hats and scarves for fun, but the one time I tried to make a proper sweater for my kid it cost double what buying one would.

1. Stop trying to make Jennifer Nettles happen Nashville.

I mean that’s Dolly’s whole thing though. She celebrates the great parts of her family and culture even though they obviously struggled. That’s why she made Dollywood as a celebration and to bring jobs into her community so others wouldn’t struggle as much as she did. Her tiny house model isn’t there as a woe is me…

guys hes not wrong

I suppose. I still think it smacks a little bit of not recognizing that Hillary isn’t her Husband and isn’t on the hook for the shitty things he may have done.

I worked in a record store when Coldplay’s first album came out and when people asked about it I would tell them it was Radiohead for your mom.

This has to be the most simpleminded sexism ever. What could possibly be different in the utility of caring for baby girls versus baby boys? They all need to sleep, eat and shit every 2 hours. That’s all.

You might want to look at Tits and Sass I think they also did an article on Hot Girls Wanted. Personally, I would rather read articles written by sex workers about sex work than read articles by civilians.

Speaking of ... did no one else notice that Kevin Spacey signed that tweet “K(spaceship emoji)“ ?!?!

To be fair, with the drugs out there now (for both people in the equation), people can engage in unprotected sex and not transmit the virus, but she would have had to start taking PrEP. I think luckily his viral load was very, very low. But yeah, I would be more angry about having to “discover” the HIV+ status instead…

Coldplay is Radiohead for people who thought The Spice Girls were really edgy.

Coldplay is playing the Super Bowl

I know people make fun of her for having had plastic surgery, but she apparently also works out like crazy. Like I watched an episode of her show with her husband and they showed a clip of her working out and it was intense.

I just googled a little. Looks like something like this was introduced in the House earlier this year. It hasn’t gone anywhere: http://thehill.com/regulation/241…

Ehh... the problem I have with this is the pipe bombs. It certanly seems like they were stocking up for something. Survivalist gun nuts might stock guns and ammo out the wazooo, maybe even the body armor... but pipe bombs?

It really does read that way. As though contraception doing what it is supposed to do is now bad. If a woman is undecided about wanting a baby, then an IUD is not the right option for them. There is far too much romanticism regarding unplanned pregnancies. Poor women in particular have few resources when it comes to…

I think the focus of this article should have been less “mourning the loss of the accidental pregnancy because of IUDs” and more “this is something that financially comfortable people of childbearing age are deliberately doing because they can’t pull the trigger on having kids.” It’s not really about the IUDs, it’s…

There’s also something creepy about the subtle “accidental pregnancies may make some childfree-by-choicers someone embrace motherhood” message. Sure, it’s true for some, but overall, isn’t giving women as much control over what happens to their body as possible for the best?
