Okay - so to update how marriage works we now go to a .gov website to renew our marriage licenses every 24 months at minimal expense to taxpayers to keep and maintain this automated system. I am genuinely curious though - what is the benefit?

I just posted a comment about my skepticism towards the need to include “A”. I’m a bisexual woman, so the L is important because for the vast majority of my female friends from ‘the community’ the L is the most appropriate letter. I think Q is most useful to people who are non gender-conforming etc. because L and G…

So what of the “A” added to the mix. I recently argued with a friend about it. I understand that A-sexual people are perfectly entitled to claiming an identity, having that identity be seen and respected, etc. HOWEVER when it comes to LGTBQI folks the benefit of collective action is that these identities all put…

There are a few people posting who seem to feel similarly to you and I am wondering if you can explain why you think this would be beneficial?

My husband obtained a work visa through being married to me (we emigrated here together but I am originally from the US). We basically have to continually prove we still want to…

I am confused by the “both sides need to give” in his comment since, as far as I know, the LGTBQ rights movement is about accessing equal rights. In order to ‘give a little’ it would mean accepting something less than equal. I believe only one side needs to give....

Yiddish is great to know but also handy for peppering English!
My husband speaks some Irish, and while he isn’t fluent I like that he uses these little phrases. Can’t wait for our daughter to learn from him (she’s due in 4 months). I need to get a dictionary though because I just realized I can’t type out any examples!

The Benefit primer is great - also can be used as a concealer!

Seeing her grandson speak with her made me tear up. My grandma spoke Cajun French and always tried to get her grandkids to speak with her. We lived further away than most of my cousins so I really missed out on the opportunity.

I agree so much - but I am 5 months pregnant, so of course I do. Mostly it’s great, but there are nights I don’t sleep well, or days I just get this weird energy crash, and I need my husband. I just imagine being in her shoes and think - well I guess I just think he’s scum. It’s like waiting to break-up with someone…

I am 23 weeks along and my belly is already obviously a pregnant belly - I am rocking some maternity leggings right this moment. Also I get little kicks in the morning and evening, and I need to pee almost every 60 minutes and at least once during the night. I just can’t imagine not knowing - but you hear about it so…

You are absolutely entitled to that rage. Many many people are as upset as you are. I am so sorry.

I also subscribed to the hot-dog-in-bun theory. But then my friend at school told me every woman has a cherry-like thing inside of her filled with blood, and the man uses his penis to pop it, and that is sex.

I also thought an orgasm happens when your boobs touched against someone. No idea where this came from.

For a hot second just after I read the words “But just as an FYI I hear coffee...” I almost had a breakdown.

Unhealthy love of pudding wrestling? Must get that from her dad’s side...

I have many issues with this show - but I actually think it’s one of the few shows where characters who are supposed to be on a budget look (reasonably) like they were shopping at Ross.

I have to google a lot to double check if things are safe (I am 5 months pregnant) and it’s just terrifying. I mean, I am thirsty a lot and drink like 3-4 bottles of water each day. For variety I was drinking all this sparkling water and then I read that Perrier is apparently full of harmful chemicals. Then I drank…

EVERYTHING about it is dumb and sexist. But man the kids love that shit. Of course I look at their instagram posts and overhear their conversations with friends and then I am like, “yeah, developmentally we are at different stages, buddies. and your stage is full of very flawed logic and terrible humor.”

Thank you - but seriously I won’t even go in our basement. Once my cat went into the crawl space and I cried and got my upstairs neighbor (we live in a duplex).

These are so very creepy. And I now have something to add - I am babysitting and the 11-year-old I watch just told me she knows something really scary.

Her friend, Maddi, moved to this neighborhood about 4 years ago, she was 7 at the time and her family bought a fixer-upper and immediately started work on the house.…

Go for it! Kids actually love learning how to be critical of adults, and making fun of media is a great shared hobby - in the end we also all rolled our eyes at how the women becomes prizes for the men (“Just like the lego movie!”, said 11-year-old). My heart grew three sizes. And it means we can watch slightly…

I am married - but the thing I noticed most after I started sporting ring is that when I did have to tell men I was not interested I’d usually sort of gesture at the ring and say “Uh, sorry I am married” and 99% of the time they’d apologise and be respectful. When I was single if I said, “sorry I am seeing someone” or…
