I had a baby 12 days ago! My butthole is now an outtie.

Here is a practical question someone might be able to answer - where can someone donate diapers? I got 2 huge diaper tower things at my baby showers, and people just gave us diapers as gifts.... uh, we’re doing cloth. I always intended to keep some disposables for travel etc, but many well-meaning friends and family…

I spent a good portion of my time trying to find Anthropologie dresses that I see in the catalogue and can’t afford on ebay and poshmark. But I am having a very bad day - I am 42 weeks pregnant and they want to induce me tomorrow and I was really hoping to at least attempt a natural birth. As part of my “don’t be cry”…

I tried on second-hand dresses and found some really really amazing options. I strongly suggest that anyone on a budget try on dresses and then check their options for second-hand online (if you find a shape or brand that works for you during try-ons), or else just see if there are any second-hand shopping options…

I have a very good friend from the north of Ireland (not Northern Ireland, just on the boarder), and she is a lesbian. I showed her an episode of The Duggars and she was suitably horrified. Upon seeing Joy Anna appear on screen she shouted, “Oh no, oh dear - oh that poor wee lesbian child! Let’s find her and help…

I recently listened to a podcast where a woman was stalked by a mountain lion - she turned around to face it (they prefer to snag prey from behind) and then she sang opera at the top of her lungs while walking a full mile backwards (and periodically throwing sticks) to the end of the trail! She had dialed 911 during…

I had to google “rn internet slang” - and now I am super flattered that apparently me and some hip youthful person on the internet are having a moment, agreeing about pop culture and feminism. YAY.

Oh I did not know that part of the story - yuck. It’s interesting because I feel really similarly about Caitlin Jenner - like, okay good that she transitioned and is bringing some visibility to the trans community. And that’s like literally all she’s done that is positive.

This whole family. Meh.

I donno about embracing KK as some feminist ally. I think it’s okay for women to (thoughtfully) critique her use of nudity and sexuality - her ‘brand’ and wealth are very dependent on promoting super narrow standards of beauty, which are tied with having tons of money, opulence, being sexually available to powerful…

...which is why I mentioned that the option of a hospital transfer is an essential part of safe home-birth. I am not incapable of understanding the bigger picture, but unfortunately hospitals are not these magic safe spaces where everything goes right (especially for women who only have access to overcrowded/crappy…

I am 9 months pregnant now and seriously considering writing a book about pregnancy, birth and the first year of life. So much weird advice gets thrown around. I live in a community with a lot of pro-homebirth ladies, and I did some research and found that if you have a nurse-midwife present and access to a hospital…

In college I had a friend who worked in the marine science lab. They had a very sneaky octopus who would climb out of his tank at night and steal fish to eat from other tanks. They got him a more secure tank and had it set up, but left him one more night in his old tank while the water temperature was regulating. The…

The tortillas at Chevy’s are also a major reason it should be at the top of the pack.

I think it’s just tacky and shitty to talk about your “help”, regardless of whether or not they proposition your husband. It’s always obnoxious, and I am always assuming you’re just a snob who is stretching the truth to make yourself sound totally justified in terminating an employee without proper notice or…

I think mini-vans are a thing of the past. It’s SUVs now, and they are not mini!

Whoa I am 39 weeks pregnant and that was too much realness, TOO MUCH. Kelly Clarkson though - she’s just the kind of person you want to root for. She’s cute, she seems so genuine, she’s got a stellar voice. I was in high school when she won season one (and watched it with my bff every week!) and it makes me happy to…

I responded to the whole video all, “DUDE THAT’S TORTILLAS” then realized my husband is home and heard me and was like “what are you doing? you’re not working, are you?”.

I think I’d be more likely to consider this if he was to drop dead from a heart attack afterwards (not during - like while he’s walking down the street a day later so no one would need to know what transpired the day before).

Or if I could shag one republican candidate in exchange for chosing the next president, and 3…

Addy’s story was very intense - especially since she was the only black doll! However I thought the various writers did a decent job dealing with a variety of tough history lessons - Molly’s dad was at war and she talks about seeing families losing men every day and a girl from england with PTSD comes to stay with…

This is true though and it’s important that people understand that race is indeed a social construct. This is important because (especially in fields like anthropology and medicine) people once devoted a lot of time to trying to prove that white humans were somehow more advanced/evolved/superior, and breaking that…
