I wasn’t born yet when this happened, so the “drink the kool-aid” phrase was around all while I was a kid, and I never got it until it came up randomly in grad school. I can’t believe it was such a fucking punchline. 

While I agree with this article, I think the accurate tense here would be past tense. Most media has decided that we are “POST-#MeToo,” and the Kavenaugh hearing clearly showed us that white ladies aren’t really getting listened to anymore, either. The “IT IS SO SCARY TO BE A MAN NOW” crowd was successful in getting…

Oh, totally!

For me, at least, it’s not “I’m much more important than you,” but “My students and my kid barely get enough attention, let alone my husband, so I’m sorry, I really didn’t have time or emotional energy for a single other thing today.”

My mom almost died of shame when she responded to an over-sharey pregnancy text from my sister (something about cm dialation) with a somewhat over-sharey reminiscing text of her own (I think it was “i was that dialated for three weeks!” or something similar). She is an INTENSELY private person about that stuff, and…

Yeah, unfortunately I’ve known about the Birkin thing for LOOONG time now (hi, sex and the city). Stupid monitor-as-personal-trainer is the surprising thing to me on this list.

I’m generally a 34B, and I just go with the cheapo no-underwire things from Warners. On the plus side, I don’t think they’re getting handmade like actual good bras are- they’re mostly just molded foam, which is a machine job. 

How long have you been done with nursing? My boobs fluctuated a TON in the year after I stopped, then kinda settled back where they started.

SO here’s my issue with pricing in clothing (including bras):

HA similar happened to me before! It was back in the days of IMing, and my friend’s little brother stole her computer a lot.

Same! I feel like, sometimes, I just *am* super busy and don’t have time to communicate with people!

Same. Virtually all of the texts I’ve apologized for have been really stupid; 99% of them have been when I let my toddler play with my phone, thinking she’d stay on the alphabet app, and then discovering that she’d texted long strings of gibberish to my co-workers. 

This is why I can’t do dirty texts. I am CONVINCED that the wrong recipient will receive them (probably because I’ve done things like text grocery lists to my co-workers before, thinking they were going to my husband).

Guys. GUYS. We have to talk about the mirror.

ME TOO! Someone said “Quinoa” the other day and this is exactly where my brain went.

I love it when people who clearly aren’t in construction suggest construction as a path for everyone else.

MAN the trolls are out in force in this one. Sorry, actual commenters in the grays. I can’t with that whole section right now.

There is a MOUNTAIN of difference between “this is a career I want for my child” and “NEVER ALLOW ANY MEMBER OF THIS PROFESSION TO EXIST IN PUBLIC! TREAT THEM AS CHILD MOLESTERS!”

You might be missing the fact that I’m a woman. I *can* work construction or other “heavy-lifting” jobs, but it would be a long fucking slog in work environments that aren’t woman-friendly from a social standpoint. Source: I’ve spent time on job sites.

You know what you need? A shiny new sports car! That’ll do the trick! ;)
