Why has no one staged a style intervention for Kirsten Wiig yet??? She's attractive, she's talented, she's skinny, IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD!

The Patriarchy made brownies for the last PTA meeting, and I tasted one in front of them, made a face, put it back down, and said "oh no, they're fine, just...not what I was expecting, dear."

I didn't invite The Patriarchy to my New Year's Eve party, if that doesn't get the message through I don't know what will.

Whether or not she can deduct the stolen inventory doesn't make it okay. Why are you trying to excuse someone stealing thousands of dollars from a woman's legal small business?

Yeah, all I did this year was leave The Patriarchy off my Xmas card list in hopes they'd notice the obvious snub.

WHEN DID EWAN BREAK UP WITH ME?

Guys: People were funky back in the day. Remember, no antiperspirants, no washing machines, water had to be boiled up to temperature, no pads, and good plumbing was still the province of a few until the 1910s or so. That is why the shorter, lighter dresses from 1920s and more flexible, softer fabrics got popular- you…

Juliette Lewis' dress is PERFECT for Juliette Lewis. The lady is PROUDLY wonky and a little jacked up. LOVE HER.

And why exactly did Ewan and I break up?

I fucking HATE that "argument" that God will protect your snowflake from whatever disease is currently ravaging the population because of this anti-vaxing BULLSHIT.

I would no more consume unpasteurized milk products then I would lick a stable floor. It doesn't matter how in touch with nature you are, hippie, e. coli will take you down.

Parenting taking a turn toward the amenities of 1850 is noooot something I would have seen coming. Unpasturized milk! Fuck vaccinations! Rub laudanum on babies gums so they cease their endless shrieking! Ok not so much that last one but you see where this is going.

If you're going to drink unpasturized milk you'd…

I know, isn't it weird that crunchy hippies and fundamentalist Christians agree on this ridiculous stuff? I think it comes down a basic mistrust and misunderstanding of science. The crunchy hippies are all opposed to science because they favor "Eastern" medicine (though they really have no idea what it actually is),…

It was in mommy circles that I found this mix of people as well. I just kind of did my own thing, but in the process met a LOT of people who felt very strongly about these issues. I get the hippie/enviro perspective of eco-friendly, simple child rearing, but I have to admit that I worry about the degree to which it…

No vaccines AND raw milk? She's just one fluoridated water conspiracy away from a tinfoil hat trick!

A good friend from high school is pretty into their suburban chicken farm. They buy raw cow's milk to the tune of $9 a gallon and also do not vaccinate their kids. She keeps wanting to drop by and see my 4mo twins and I'm running out of polite refusals. They are also (not coincidentally?) Paul-Ryan-loving hippy…

There, fixed it for you.

Time for a joke! (Because I'm tired of these debates. Just steam my pasteurized milk for my latte and shut-up!)

Ugh, I remember when the raw milk "debate" was getting big in Minnesota (maybe three years ago.)

So last year we moved from "the city" to "the country" to become farmers ... some mutual farming friends tried to sort of set us up with another young family that was homesteading. It was hard enough to get over the guns and libertarianism, but we totally broke up with them after the mother told me she didn't…
