While none of that appeals to me in the slightest as a parent, I’m still a bit stunned that Jez let Rich publish this article with such a judgy tone. I can guarantee that no parent would have written something like that, as we all know people who co-sleep even with their older kids, and per Mila’s commentary - yes,…

I don’t care. I’ve been in love with her since I was a kid, and will continue to believe the is perfection incarnate.

After decades of PC building, rebuilding, and other internal surgeries, I’ve learned a lot of these the hard way.

If you can’t afford to tip 20% then you can’t afford to eat out.

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

“Never be cleaner" and "clean enough to rub all over my face" are two vastly different things. 

We went to a class for our first one, and they went around the room asking each couple about their birth plan. Most of them were “We’re going to try to go natural” with a few “We’re using a midwife in home and going natural”.

Currently, the only definitive way to diagnose endometriosis is to see it - to undergo surgery. A presumptive diagnosis is made purely on the patient’s report of pain and other symptoms. Painful periods, heavy…

This story is both graphic and Magary-esque. Those of you who know what I’m talking about have been warned.

I went to an ex’s house party with the intention of banging him. He spent his time chasing after a 20 year old (he was in his mid 30's then) so I pout in a corner, drinking too much. Bumped into a tall, tattooed dude who leaned against the oven in the kitchen and accidentally turned on the gas. I saved everyone from…

Ditto on the Bean, except mine is still learning to be the best.

Fermentation is not “rotting”. Humans have been safely eating fermented foods since prehistory. If cheese is “rotting”, so are a hell of a lot of other foods.

Invalidating another person’s feelings is wrong because it is harmful to them. It’s wrong to hurt people, especially when they’ve done nothing at all to hurt you. *Everyone* deserves to be treated with respect and kindness. America’s acceptance of casual meanness and disrespect is a large part of how we got such a…
